Female Plastic Surgeons Resource - Rhinoplasty
Our female plastic surgeons perform rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, which is one of the most common of all plastic
surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape
of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose
and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
If you're considering rhinoplasty from a female plastic surgeon, this information will give you a basic understanding of the
procedure-when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer
all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask
your female plastic surgeon about anything you don't understand.
THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR RHINOPLASTY
Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change
your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to
have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your female plastic surgeon.
Our female plastic surgeons have determined that the best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection,
in the way they look. If you're physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your
expectations, you may be a good candidate.
Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes-to correct
birth defects or breathing problems.
Age may also be a consideration. Many female plastic surgeons prefer not to operate on teenagers until after
they've completed their growth spurt-around 14 or 15 for girls, a bit later for boys, as this yields the best results. It's important
to consider teenagers' social and emotional adjustment, too, and to make sure it's what they, and not
their parents, really want.
