How Do I Know Whether I Am a Good Candidate for a Nose Job?

Have you ever wondered if you are a good candidate for a nose job? Rhinoplasty, or nose job, is one of the most common plastic surgery operations among men and women. Since your nose is the center of your face, it’s easy to pick out imperfections. If you’re unhappy with your nose, a nose job can improve the shape, function, and overall look of your nose drastically within a relatively short time. Below are a few statements that will highlight if you are a good candidate for a nose job.

Am I Right for a Nose Job?

Whether or not you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty depends on two key factors: If you are in good health and if your aesthetic goals are realistic and reasonable.

Keep Your Nose Job Goals Realistic

Nose job surgery is highly recommended for adults only, since the nose continues to develop until sixteen years of age. Exceptions include a diminished function of the nose, in which case fixing a deviated septum may be in order. As for aesthetic preferences, it is recommended that you wait for your body to finish growing so that any surgical changes will not later be altered.

It is important to remember that a nose job is not designed to drastically alter your overall appearance. Any good plastic surgeon like Dr. Apo will attest that subtle improvements and realignments are far more beneficial for a patient. Trust the process with your accredited surgeon, as they know what changes are best to bring a patient to their overall goals.

Cosmetic surgeries of any kind should be thoroughly planned and discussed with your specialist. Always make sure you and your surgeon are on the same page with expectations and treatment.

Mind your Health

Before you can be approved for a nose job you will need to have a thorough health assessment which will look at your medical history and your current health and well-being. If you do not have any severe medical conditions, you will likely be a good candidate for a nose job without any major complications. Patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart conditions, or chronic smokers should consult a clinician first before seeking surgery for a nose job.

Certain medications may complicate a healing nose job and should be disclosed to your surgeon. A history of allergies should also be considered, as sneezing could damage your nose job and the healing process.

How Long Will I Be in Pain After Rhinoplasty Surgery Is Over?

Rhinoplasty recovery is far less inconvenient than most people think. Believe it or not, rhinoplasty is a hardly painful procedure. Of course, pain may vary from person to person, but Dr. Apostolakis in Austin, Texas makes sure your rhinoplasty is smooth, safe, and comfortable.

Pain at any intensity after rhinoplasty will usually last for only 36 to 72 hours but may last longer if the nose is bumped or injured further. Your nose may remain tender or sensitive to touch, however, for up to three months. This is generally common after rhinoplasty or nose surgery. The level of pain and how long it lasts depends on multiple factors. Individual pain tolerance, the length of the surgery, and the specific rhinoplasty techniques used during the procedure can all impact the healing process of rhinoplasty.

Managing Pain after Rhinoplasty

Slight pain or discomfort after a rhinoplasty is common but pain levels depend on your pain tolerance. In order to make your post-rhinoplasty procedure more comfortable, Dr. Apostolakis will have you take pain pills the first night after your surgery. After your rhinoplasty, your nose will be taped and splinted for one week. Bruises usually will occur under the eyes and last 7 to 14 days. We do not pack the nose, you will be able to breathe through your nose after the surgery, and will not have to endure the pain and suffering of packing and its removal.

If severe pain after rhinoplasty persists for longer than 48 hours, contact your surgeon immediately, as something more complicated may be making your healing process more difficult. It is important to only take the pain medication your surgeon prescribes. Avoid anti-inflammatory over-the-counter pain medications as they may interfere with the healing process.

Swelling and Bruising are Common

The first few days after your rhinoplasty is when you are likely to experience the most discomfort, swelling, and bruising. While uncomfortable, this means your nose is healing. If you are eager for faster recovery, applying ice to the bruised and swollen tissue will help to reduce the swelling. It is recommended that your nose should be iced as much as possible in the first 48 hours. To help avoid swelling and bruising, sleeping upright propped by two or three pillows will help the blood not pool within the nose. After surgery, Dr. Apostolakis will provide you with further recovery tips to ease recovery.

Are There Any Serious Risks Related to Having Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, or a “nose job,” is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed by Dr. Apostolakis. Rhinoplasty can be performed for cosmetic reasons, such as to change the shape of the nose, or for functional reasons, such as to improve breathing. This complex and delicate surgery has become increasingly common over the years; however, like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty carries both potential benefits and risks. It’s important to be aware of the potential risks of rhinoplasty before deciding on nose surgery.

Bleeding and Infection

Bleeding and infection is a common concern among rhinoplasty patients. While infection and severe bleeding are rare, it is not unheard of for plastic surgery patients to experience them. Being aware of this complication, Dr. Apostolakis knows the steps to take to minimize these risks and ensure your safety. For instance, before your rhinoplasty operation, Dr. Apostolakis will ask you to cease using medications, anti-inflammatories, and some supplements. Discontinuing the use of these will decrease your risk of bleeding after surgery. To prevent infection, you may take an antibiotic before surgery. Antibiotics will also be offered after surgery for you to continue as your rhinoplasty heals.

Breathing Complications

Functional rhinoplasty is a common surgery to help patients breathe better. Cosmetic rhinoplasties usually are used to make the nose smaller, which may come at the expense of nose function. Surgery may weaken the nasal septum and result in poor breathing, snoring, and sleeping issues. As a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, as well as a fellow of The American College of Surgeons, Dr. Apostolakis is trusted to improve the appearance of your nose without sacrificing your nose function. Not only will your breathing be unchanged after rhinoplasty, but in many cases, your breathing may be enhanced after surgery.

Rhinoplasty scars

Some individuals voice fears of slow or poor wound healing after a rhinoplasty, which can result in noticeable scars or delayed recovery. These fears are valid. Poor scarring can lead to complications and aesthetic dislikes. Aggressive scar tissue inside the nose can look bulky, which can result in an irregular nasal contour. Visible and unsightly scars outside of the nose detract from your overall appearance and make it clear that you had a nose job performed. Knowing the concern about rhinoplasty scarring, Dr. Apostolakis’ attention to detail makes sure cuts and incisions are properly healing on time to give you the results you want.

5 Beneficial Things to Do Prior to Your Nose Job Appointment

Are you interested in having a rhinoplasty? Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty is a beneficial procedure that can help boost your self-esteem and improve your physical appearance. If you are planning an upcoming nose job, take a look at these five things to do before your appointment:

1. Determine Whether You Have Realistic Goals and Expectations

When you begin your rhinoplasty journey, the first step will be determining your goals and ensuring they are realistic.

Several weeks before your nose job appointment, you will be able to discuss these goals with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will determine whether these goals are possible and move forward with developing your treatment plan.

2. Make a List of Medications and Supplements

Before your nose job, your surgeon will need to be aware of any medications or supplements you have been taking. This includes prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, and natural supplements.

Make a complete list of anything you take daily or regularly and bring it to your consultation appointment and the day of your procedure. You may be asked to stop taking certain medications or supplements in the days leading up to your surgery.

3. Receive Medical Clearance

Prior to facial plastic surgery, you may need to receive medical clearance from your primary physician. This usually applies to procedures that require general anesthesia, including rhinoplasty.

General medical clearance will involve a physical examination and possibly blood panels to ensure you are healthy enough to be put under anesthesia and receive a nose job.

4. Write Down Any Questions or Concerns

Long before the day of your surgery, you will want to be fully informed about what you can expect throughout the rhinoplasty process. Your consultation appointment is the primary time to ask questions and voice any concerns about the procedure.

However, if there is anything that you forget or something else that comes to your mind in the weeks leading up to your nose job, you can contact your surgeon or the support staff to have your concerns addressed.

5. Get Plenty of Rest and Stay Hydrated

In the days leading up to your facial plastic surgery, you will want to prepare your body for the procedure. You should get plenty of rest by sleeping at least seven to eight hours per night. You should also stay well-hydrated by drinking at least 64 ounces of water per day.

You will be asked to stop eating and drinking about 12 hours prior to your surgery as an anesthetic precaution, so you want to hydrate and nourish your body as much as possible before that point.

Scheduling Your Nose Job Appointment

Are you ready to begin your rhinoplasty journey? The rhinoplasty process cannot start without a facial plastic surgery consultation appointment. Before your consultation appointment, compile your medical records and bring a list of medications or supplements you take.

To better prepare for your rhinoplasty procedure, you can call your plastic surgeon’s office to ask for any additional information in advance.

Did You Know that a Nose Job Can Improve Health and Self-Esteem?

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgical procedures for a variety of reasons. The most well-known benefit of rhinoplasty — which is more often colloquially referred to as a “nose job” — is that it changes the appearance of your nasal structure to one that you prefer, but what you may not know is that a nose job can also boost your self-esteem and improve your health overall.

Learn more about these two aspects of facial plastic surgery in the guide below.

Nose Jobs and Better Breathing

There is a common misconception surrounding nose jobs in that they are only performed for aesthetic purposes, but some rhinoplasty procedures can actually provide considerable health benefits. When facial plastic surgery is performed to correct a deviated septum, for instance, it can lead to better breathing and improved quality of sleep for the patient.

Your septum is the thin wall of bone and cartilage that separates your two nostrils into distinct nasal passages. Naturally, the septum should be completely centered within the nasal structure, but in some people, it can deviate to either side, creating reduced airflow that manifests in everything from nasal congestion to sleep breathing disorders.

During a nose job, the cartilage and bones within your septum are moved and repositioned until the septum is straight and centered between your nostrils, a process that will increase airflow, reduce congestion, resolve snoring, and lead to a better night’s sleep.

The positive effects of rhinoplasty can extend to other aspects of your health once your sleep is improved. Most people don’t realize how important it is for your body to get a full night of sleep. Getting inadequate sleep can lead to serious concerns like heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. When a nose job resolves your poor sleep quality, you will be at a lower risk for some of these conditions.

Rhinoplasty and Self Confidence

Another benefit of rhinoplasty is that it can improve your self-esteem in big ways. Many people struggle with feelings of self-consciousness because they are unhappy with the way that their nose looks. This can be due to a number of different imperfections, but some of the most common factors that lead people to seek a nose job are as follows:

Increase nasal hump
Enlarged nostrils
Nasal asymmetry
Downturned nasal tip
Thick or wide bridge

If you have any of these issues or other concerns about the appearance of your nose, rhinoplasty may be the best way to feel more confident about your appearance. These procedures aim to resolve these aesthetic issues by removing or repositioning the cartilage and bones to create a more flattering nasal structure.

Most people who have had a nose job find that their self-esteem significantly increased after the procedure. After similar facial plastic surgery, you may feel more inclined to spend time with friends, go on vacation, or show off your new look in photographs.

Experience Your Own Nose Job Results

For a boost in self-esteem and a shot at improved health, a nose job can help with both in a single procedure. Rhinoplasty is a facial plastic surgery that can enhance the appearance of your nose and resolve certain breathing concerns, helping you feel like the best version of yourself.

Rhinoplasty Is Not Appropriate for Everyone, But It May Work for You

One of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries is rhinoplasty. Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty procedures remove or alter the bones and cartilage in your nose to make your nasal structure more appealing to you.

A nose job is an ideal solution in many cases, but there are certain times it is not the best course of action. If you are considering rhinoplasty, learning which situations it may or may not work for is essential.

When Is Rhinoplasty Not Recommended?

While most people who want to enhance their nose make great candidates for rhinoplasty, there are some instances in which the procedure is not appropriate. In these cases, a rhinoplasty may even do more harm than good.

Patients Under 18

One instance is in patients who are too young. Even though teenagers may be unhappy with the way their nose looks, rhinoplasty should not be performed on anyone under the age of 18.

This is because the bones and cartilage are still growing and shifting, meaning the nasal structure is not in its final placement. Having a rhinoplasty before the nose is finished growing will only hinder the results of the surgery and can even lead to an unfavorable outcome as time goes on.

Certain Medical Conditions

Another time when rhinoplasty may not be recommended is when patients have certain underlying medical concerns. If you have nasal polyps or cancer within the nasal structure, you should not have rhinoplasty performed until you are fully recovered.

Other issues that are unrelated to the nose can also prevent you from having a rhinoplasty. Chronic medical conditions, such as heart disease, may prevent you from going under anesthesia to have any facial plastic surgery.

Incorrect Expectations

Additionally, a rhinoplasty will not be recommended if you have unrealistic expectations. During your nose job consultation, your surgeon will ask what your desired outcome is. If you simply hope to decrease your nasal bridge or resolve any asymmetry of the nose, rhinoplasty is likely a good option.

If you want a complete and total transformation of your nasal structure, however, this may not be possible. The goal of rhinoplasty is to alter the nose in a way that still looks natural and flatters the rest of your face. If your surgeon does not feel this can be achieved to your liking, they may not recommend a rhinoplasty for you.

Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a beneficial procedure that can amend the appearance of the nose and create a more flattering look. Some rhinoplasty procedures can even improve your breathing by correcting a deviated septum. Many people make great candidates for rhinoplasty, including those who have:

Nasal asymmetry
An enlarged bridge hump
A wide bridge
An elongated or downturned nasal tip
Wide nostrils
A deviated septum

To qualify for a nose job, you must be at least 18 years of age and in general good health. Since rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, you will need to receive complete medical clearance from a general physician before you can have your surgery.

Should You Have Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Are you wondering if rhinoplasty is right for you? The only way to find out is through a facial plastic surgery consultation. A plastic surgeon can accurately assess your nasal structure and discuss your desired outcome to determine whether you’d make a good candidate for a nose job.

Rhinoplasty Will Improve Breathing and Help You Sleep More Comfortably

Have you ever been told that you snore during your sleep? Do you find yourself still feeling tired even after getting a full night of sleep? You may be struggling with sleep-disordered breathing due to a deviated septum.

A deviated septum is a common nasal issue that results in one nasal passage being more narrow than the other, resulting in poor breathing during your sleep. Fortunately, a deviated septum can easily be resolved with facial plastic surgery.

Learn more about the connection between rhinoplasty facial plastic surgery and better breathing.

What Is a Deviated Septum?

Your septum is the thin wall that separates your nostrils into two distinct nasal passages. The septum is composed of tiny bones and cartilage, making it stable but slightly flexible. Ideally, the septum should be positioned straight down the center of the nasal structure to create two nostrils that are even in shape and size.

When someone has a deviated septum, the septal wall veers off to one side of the nasal structure. This creates an asymmetry between the nostrils and causes one nasal passage to be smaller than the other.

A deviated septum can cause issues with breathing because one of the nasal passages is too narrow for proper airflow. This can occur at any time, but it is most notable overnight when you are trying to sleep. Deviated septums are a main cause of snoring, sleep apnea, and interrupted sleep patterns.

Signs You Have a Deviated Septum

In many cases, a deviated septum will not cause any symptoms other than snoring. It can be hard to know you have a problem unless someone lets you know you snore in your sleep.

In other cases, people experience symptoms while they’re awake. These include:

Nasal congestion
Nosebleeds
Noisy breathing
Facial pain
Sneezing attacks

It’s worth noting that all of these symptoms can be attributed to other nasal conditions. If you have any combination of these symptoms but are unsure about whether you have a deviated septum, you can find out by having an exam with an ENT specialist or a consultation with a rhinoplasty surgeon.

How Facial Plastic Surgery Can Resolve Your Deviated Septum for Better Sleep

While a deviated septum might not cause issues for some people, it can cause sleep apnea or sleep-disordered breathing in many others. When a deviated septum causes you to snore or get reduced airflow overnight, it can impact your overall quality of sleep.

Rhinoplasty procedures are the best way to correct your deviated septum and resolve sleep-disordered breathing. During a rhinoplasty procedure, we can straighten the bone and cartilage of your septum so it does not deviate to one side or the other. This will help you breathe more clearly throughout the night, resulting in better sleep overall.

To amend your deviated septum and improve your breathing, you should schedule a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon who can assess your eligibility for rhinoplasty. Your plastic surgeon will develop a personalized rhinoplasty treatment plan that addresses your unique nasal structure. The result will be increased airflow and a better night’s sleep!!

A Rhinoplasty Consultation Can Change Your Life for the Better

Have you ever thought that facial plastic surgery could have a positive impact on your life? Procedures like rhinoplasty are a great way to enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. Find out how a simple rhinoplasty consultation can change your life for the better.

What Happens During a Rhinoplasty Consultation?

Rhinoplasty procedures are among the most popular plastic surgical treatments because they can significantly improve the quality of life for many people. Your consultation is the first step in a journey toward better breathing, an enhanced appearance, and increased self-esteem.

When you come in for a facial plastic surgery consultation, several things will happen. First, you will discuss your aesthetic desires and any issues you have with your nasal structure. Then, your surgeon will review your medical history and any other relevant information you have provided to determine whether you are a candidate for rhinoplasty.

Your surgeon will perform a thorough examination of your nasal structure, both internally and externally. This helps them gather information about your unique nasal anatomy that will dictate what your treatment plan looks like. From there, you will have a straightforward conversation about what rhinoplasty entails and the types of results it can achieve.

The Benefits of Rhinoplasty

People choose to have rhinoplasty when the appearance or structure of their nose has negatively impacted their life. When you get a nose job, you can experience all of the following benefits and more:

Improved Appearance

The main purpose of rhinoplasty is to amend the appearance of your nose and create a shape that suits your face. Many people struggle with natural imperfections in their nasal structure, including any of the following issues:

Asymmetry
Enlarged nostrils
Prominent bridge hump
Downturned nasal tip

When you get rhinoplasty, these abnormalities or imperfections can be corrected to create a nose that flatters your overall appearance.

Increased Confidence

Another benefit of rhinoplasty that can change your life for the better is the boost in confidence it provides. Once your nasal imperfections are amended, you should feel like an enhanced version of yourself. Many people find that they are more eager to have their photo taken, visit with friends, and even go on vacations now that their self-esteem is higher.

Better Breathing

If you suffer from sleep-disordered breathing or snoring, you may have a deviated septum. Your septum is the wall of bone and cartilage that separates your nasal passage into two open nostrils. When the septum deviates to one side more than the other, it can reduce airflow and lead to problems breathing while you sleep.

A rhinoplasty procedure can correct your deviated septum and lead to better breathing overall, most notably during sleep. This eliminates snoring and sleep apnea caused by septum deviation.

Experiencing Your Own Rhinoplasty Transformation

If you want to change your life for the better by enhancing your appearance, facial plastic surgery could be for you. Facial procedures like rhinoplasty help people feel increased self-esteem and a major boost in confidence. Rhinoplasty can even improve your breathing and lead to better-quality sleep at night.

To begin your rhinoplasty journey, you can schedule a consultation appointment with an expert facial plastic surgeon in your area.

What Is Rhinoplasty, and Who Can Benefit from the Process?

If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about how your nose looks, you may have considered rhinoplasty surgery.

More commonly referred to as a “nose job,” rhinoplasty is the only way to permanently alter the appearance of your nose and resolve issues like asymmetry or a downturned nasal tip. Rhinoplasty can also be used to correct a deviated septum and resolve disordered breathing during sleep.

A nose job can offer many benefits, from improved aesthetics to better breathing. If you’re curious whether it’s the right option for you, it will be helpful to learn what factors make someone a good candidate.

What Is a Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgical procedure that can improve the appearance of the nose or resolve certain breathing difficulties. Rhinoplasties are performed by removing or repositioning the cartilage, bones, and other tissues within the nose to alter both the internal and external structure.

A rhinoplasty can be either “closed” or “open” in nature. Closed rhinoplasties are performed entirely within the nasal passages and show no external evidence of the procedure. By contrast, open rhinoplasties are performed on the outside of the nose and involve small incisions in discreet areas around the nasal structure.

Factors that Make an Ideal Candidate for Rhinoplasty

Would you benefit from a rhinoplasty procedure? If you have any of the following imperfections or abnormalities, a rhinoplasty could help you enhance your appearance and experience better breathing.

Downturned Nasal Tip

A downturned nasal tip leads many people to seek rhinoplasty procedures. As part of the procedure, a surgeon can shave down the cartilage within your nasal tip to make it smaller. They can then manipulate the remaining tissue into more of an upwards position to create an attractive, slightly elevated nasal tip.

Large Nasal Hump

A large hump on the nasal bridge is one of the most common reasons people get rhinoplasties. This elevation is usually due to excess bone in the area. With a rhinoplasty, this bone can be shaved down to make the bridge more straight or sloped, depending on your desired outcome.

Asymmetry

Almost everyone has some level of asymmetry to their nasal structure — it’s just a matter of how pronounced it is. If you have a very noticeable asymmetry, you may benefit from a nose job. A rhinoplasty can manipulate the bones and cartilage to give your nose a more even look.

Deviated Septum

Another way to benefit from rhinoplasty is by having a deviated septum corrected. People with deviated septums often struggle with labored breathing or sleep disorders because their septum strays off to one side. Rhinoplasty procedures can correct this and improve respiration both while awake and asleep.

Should You Get a Rhinoplasty?

You may benefit from a rhinoplasty procedure if you have a deviated septum, large nasal hump, or downturned tip. However, the only way to find out whether such a procedure is right for you is by consulting with a plastic surgeon, who can assess your nasal structure and develop a unique treatment plan that addresses any imperfections.

Is Rhinoplasty Permanent or Do I Have to Repeat the Process Annually?

Rhinoplasty is a type of surgery that changes the shape and structure of your nose. If you dislike the appearance of your nose or you have medical problems with your natural anatomy, rhinoplasty could be a solution.

Many rhinoplasty candidates wonder whether their results will be permanent. Here’s what you should know about getting a nose job.

How Rhinoplasty Works

During rhinoplasty surgery, your surgeon alters the position, size, and shape of various pieces of tissue and cartilage in your nose. There are also different types of rhinoplasty.

For instance, open rhinoplasty involves opening up your nose from the outside to reposition internal structures. Closed rhinoplasty, by contrast, is nearly invisible after surgery; the surgeons operate internally without opening up the outside of your nose.

The type and method of your procedure will depend on your desired aesthetic, current nose structure, and breathing problems. Your surgeon will determine the best approach for you with these factors in mind.

Why Patients Get Rhinoplasty

There are numerous reasons patients may decide to get nose jobs. Some reasons are personal and cosmetic, while others are related to breathing and the function of the nose.

Patients with very large, bulbous, or bumpy noses may not like the way their noses affect the appearance of their faces. The current beauty standard involves slender, even, and proportionally small noses.

Other patients may have deviated septums, which cause trouble breathing. In these cases, the center cartilage in their noses may be off-center and interfere with airflow. Breathing problems can be frustrating and, in some instances, unhealthy over long periods of time.

Are Results Permanent?

No matter what your reasons for getting rhinoplasty are, you probably want to know: are results long-lasting? The short answer is yes. Unless you are unhappy with your rhinoplasty results after your nose fully heals, your results will be permanent. Repeat surgeries are not required to maintain your new nose.

Some patients choose to undergo rhinoplasty revision, where a new surgeon will correct the work of a previous surgeon. This is only done in extreme cases, though, including trauma to the nose.

The recovery process does require the use of stents and other fixtures, but these are temporary. Once your nose has healed, your results are there to stay.

Will I Like My Results?

According to research, chances are that you will indeed like your results. Between 80 and 90 percent of rhinoplasty patients are satisfied with the appearance of their noses after surgery.

Cosmetic surgeons undergo a lot of training to practice their craft. When you go in for nose surgery, you can trust that your surgeon knows what they are doing. They have likely delivered satisfactory results to hundreds, if not thousands, of patients before you.

Prepare for Rhinoplasty: Realistic Expectations

Remember that nose jobs can be great confidence boosters, and they look different on everyone. So make sure to come in with realistic expectations to ensure the best experience. If you’re looking to change the appearance or function of your nose, rhinoplasty could be an option for you.

How Soon Can I Return to My Job After Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty is an effective procedure for improving the appearance of your eyelids. It can also help you see better by preventing your eyelid from getting in the way. But what about recovery? When can you go back to work? Here’s what you need to know.

Typical Eyelid Surgery Recovery Period

Most patients recover from blepharoplasty within 14 days after their procedure. This doesn’t mean you have to wait two weeks to return to work, however. The recovery from this surgery is mostly about reducing bruising and swelling. When you decide to return to work is up to you and your personal comfort levels.

It can take between one and three months to fully recover your normal eyelid appearance and function. However, the majority of post-surgery effects should be manageable around the two-week mark.

How Many Days Should I Take Off Work?

When planning for your eyelid surgery, it’s important to get ahead of the clock and schedule your days off accordingly. It can be difficult to know how many days to take if you’ve never had eyelid surgery before.

On average, blepharoplasty patients take between five and ten days off from their jobs. Your situation may be different if you recover faster or need more time for the bruising and swelling to go down.

It’s a good idea to let your employer know that you’ll need at least five days off. That way, they can plan around your absence without causing unnecessary stress for anyone.

Deciding to Go Back to Work

Some patients get blepharoplasty for cosmetic purposes, while others need it for vision problems. After your surgery, you will be able to decide how well your eye functions in normal settings.

Since you need your eyes to accomplish almost every task throughout the day, it’s best to rest them as much as possible during your recovery period. And when you do decide to go back to work, make sure your eyes can function properly and aren’t strained, excessively swollen, or causing you pain.

How to Speed Up Your Recovery

The best way to have a speedy recovery from eyelid surgery is to follow all postoperative instructions from your surgeon. They may recommend resting for several days in a row to give your eye tissues time to heal and recover.

If you try to push yourself too hard before your recovery period is over, you risk causing complications and damage to your eyes. While it may sound contradictory, the best way to make recovery go faster is to allow yourself to fully rest and recover.

Keeping your head elevated for the first few days after surgery will help drain fluid and blood from your eyes. This can help recovery go smoothly and avoid buildup that interferes with your eyesight and comfort.

You should also use ice and other soothing tools that your surgeon recommends. These methods can help make the recovery process go faster.

Plan Your Time Off After Eyelid Surgery

Now that you know the approximate timeline, you can plan your time off work for your surgery. Get plenty of rest, and remember: recovery is all about taking it easy.

5 Examples of the Positive Effects of Rhinoplasty

One of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures is rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty surgery aims to improve the appearance of the nose by removing or repositioning the bones and cartilage.

While many people look at rhinoplasty as a strictly aesthetic procedure, it can actually offer a wide variety of benefits. The following are just five examples of the positive effects you can experience after rhinoplasty surgery:

1. Enhanced Appearance

The most common reason that people seek rhinoplasty is to enhance their appearance. Many people are unhappy with the way that their nose looks due to any of the following factors:

Asymmetry
Prominent nasal bump
Abnormal nostril size
Crooked nasal bridge
Unbalanced nasal width

The biggest benefit of rhinoplasty is that it can resolve these concerns and more. During your rhinoplasty, the cartilage and bones within your nose will be altered to enhance the nasal structure. This creates a more appealing nose shape that flatters your overall facial structure.

2. Easier Breathing

Rhinoplasty is generally thought of as a cosmetic procedure, but for some patients, it can provide health benefits like better breathing. This is often the case for people who have a deviated septum.

A deviated septum is a common malformation of the nasal structure that causes the thin wall between your nostrils to deviate to one side or the other. This can impact your breathing and cause chronic congestion. Rhinoplasty surgery can straighten the septum and help you breathe easier.

3. Better Sleep

Another positive effect of rhinoplasty is improved sleep. This is especially true for people who have a deviated septum or small nostrils. A rhinoplasty can straighten your septum or enlarge the opening of your nostrils to allow for easier breathing when you sleep. This could resolve certain cases of sleep apnea or disordered sleep breathing.

4. More Confidence

A major positive outcome of rhinoplasty is the boost in confidence that patients feel afterward. When you have aesthetic concerns like asymmetry, enlarged nostrils, or a pronounced nasal bump, you may suffer from low self-esteem or feel self-conscious.

Rhinoplasty can successfully correct these issues and provide a boost in self-esteem and give you more confidence in your appearance. In fact, many people report that they feel more comfortable having their photograph taken after their rhinoplasty procedure because they are proud of how good they look.

5. A Younger Look

One of the more overlooked benefits of rhinoplasty is that it can produce a more youthful appearance. Some nasal concerns or abnormalities can give your face an aged appearance. These include a large nasal hump on the bridge or an elongated nasal tip.

Rhinoplasty can address these issues and create a younger-looking nasal structure that enhances your overall appearance. Elevating the nasal tip and reducing the bridge may be necessary to achieve this goal.

Experience Rhinoplasty for Yourself

When you struggle with common concerns like an enlarged bridge or pronounced bump, you may benefit from a rhinoplasty procedure. From increased confidence to smoother breathing, rhinoplasty can provide a wide array of positive effects that improve your quality of life.

5 Possible Risks or Side Effects Associated With Eyelid Surgery

If you have sagging or loose skin surrounding your eyes, you may be interested in blepharoplasty. Also known as eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes and repositions the skin around your eyes. This can provide a variety of benefits, including:

A more youthful appearance
A reduction in sagging or “bags” under the eyes
A larger, more open appearance to the eyes
An increased or unobstructed field of vision

While eyelid surgery can produce certain benefits, as with any surgical procedure, it doesn’t come without certain risks. Five possible risks or side effects associated with blepharoplasty include:

1. Infection

Any procedure that makes an incision into the skin comes with the risk of infection. Eyelid surgery is no exception to this. When you have a blepharoplasty performed, small incisions will be made along the upper or lower eyelid. In some cases, incisions are made along both the upper and lower lid.

After your procedure, it is essential that you keep these incisions clean and free of debris or bacteria. Proper incision aftercare can prevent an infection from developing.

2. Scarring

Whenever an incision is made in the skin, there is the potential for scarring afterward. When you have eyelid surgery, the incisions are very small and will be made in discreet areas along the eyelid.

However, there is still a possibility you could develop a small scar. To minimize the risk of scarring, you may need to apply aftercare products that nourish the skin and encourage faster healing.

3. Injury to Eye Muscles

Another risk associated with blepharoplasty is damage or injury to your eye muscles. While this is incredibly rare, it is always possible when working in the small area surrounding the eyes.

When making an incision in the eyelids, it is possible to hit the tiny muscles that surround your eye. This can impact your ability to open or close your eyes after your procedure.

4. Blurry Vision

Sometimes eyelid surgery can impact your field of vision after the procedure. Patients may experience blurry vision or visual disturbances for several days to weeks after surgery.

This may be due to swelling and inflammation of the tissues surrounding the eye. These vision concerns usually subside within days or weeks after your recovery begins.

5. Skin Discoloration

A rare but still possible side effect of blepharoplasty is skin discoloration. You will likely experience bruising around the surgical site for several days to weeks, but some patients see a permanent change in the color of their eyelid skin. This may be addressed with certain topical products or other aesthetic treatments in the future.

When to Seek Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty comes with certain risks and side effects, including blurry vision, scarring, and infections. However, eyelid surgery can be beneficial for many people.

If you struggle with loose or sagging skin around your eyes, you may be a good candidate for a blepharoplasty procedure. Eyelid surgery can remove this skin, helping improve your vision and create a more youthful appearance overall.

Top 5 Ways That Blepharoplasty Can Make Positive Changes in Your Life

If you have excess loose skin on your upper or lower eyelid, you may benefit from a blepharoplasty procedure. Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes or tightens loose, hanging skin from around the eyes. This skin typically develops with age, but it can occur in younger people due to genetics.

When loose skin does develop around the eyes, you may notice a more aged, tired appearance. Having blepharoplasty can resolve these concerns and help enhance your look. Learn more about the top five ways blepharoplasty can make positive changes in your life.

1. More Youthful Appearance

The main purpose of a blepharoplasty is to remove excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids. This excess skin can create a more aged appearance, especially when it occurs underneath the eyes. Excess skin along the lower lid can form “eye bags” that make you look much older.

When you have eyelid surgery, it removes this excess skin to give the eyes a more youthful appearance, helping you achieve a younger look overall.

2. Eyes Look More Vibrant and Awake

If you have loose skin along the lower eyelid, it can make your eyes look tired and stressed. The appearance of under-eye bags is one of the most common aesthetic complaints for this reason. A blepharoplasty can give your eyes a more vibrant, open, and awake appearance that refreshes your face.

3. Enhanced Field of Vision

Another benefit of blepharoplasty is the way it can enhance vision for some people. Sometimes loose, excess skin on the upper eyelid can hang down into the field of vision, affecting your ability to see. This is particularly true for people who have a smaller eye shape to begin with.

During eyelid surgery, this excess skin is either removed or tightened to widen your field of vision and make it easier for you to see.

4. Easier Makeup Application

When you have excess skin around the eyes, it can impact the way you put on your makeup. Many people struggle to apply eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara when their upper eyelid skin is loose. Blepharoplasty can remove or reduce this loose skin to make eye makeup application easier. The result is a flatter, tighter eyelid that makeup glides onto much more smoothly.

5. Improved Self-Esteem

Some people who have excess skin surrounding the eyes feel self-conscious about their appearance. Enhancing your look by having this skin removed can improve self-esteem.

Many people find that eyelid surgery helps them feel like a more refreshed, rejuvenated version of themselves. The result is a boost in self-confidence and overall mood.

Experiencing Your Own Blepharoplasty ResultsBlepharoplasty is a beneficial procedure that can help both men and women at any age. You can see an improvement in both the way you look and the way that you feel by having excess skin removed from the eyelids. From younger-looking eyes to easier makeup application, there are numerous great reasons to seek blepharoplasty surgery.

How Will Rhinoplasty Help Me Be Less Self-Conscious?

Feeling self-conscious about the size or shape of your nose can inhibit you from enjoying life to the fullest. A rhinoplasty, also called a “nose job,” can help restore your confidence. The surgery may not make all of your self-doubts disappear, but it is a highly effective procedure that can help you meet your aesthetic goals.

What Can Rhinoplasty Do?

Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries. Some people get rhinoplasty to correct breathing issues, and others opt to have surgery to change their looks.

There are limits to how much rhinoplasty can change your nose, and a skilled surgeon understands those limits. The final result of rhinoplasty surgery depends on several factors, including the condition of your skin, the size of your nose, and your age.

In many cases, rhinoplasty can:

Straighten the septum (the interior part of the nose that separates the nostrils)
Alter the shape of the tip of the nose
Alter the shape of the nostrils
Increase or reduce overall nose size
Change the bridge of the nose

Whether you are unhappy with the look of your nose because of an injury or because you find its natural appearance unappealing in some way, rhinoplasty may offer the solutions you are looking for.

Can Rhinoplasty Improve Confidence?

Unfortunately, the pressure to look a certain way has never been more intense. Learning that self-confidence is not based on physical looks is an important lesson everyone could benefit from. However, it is completely possible to feel confident on the inside and still be unhappy with the way your nose looks.

If a person is aware of the limits of rhinoplasty and is realistic about possible changes, rhinoplasty can help them feel less self-conscious. A study by the American Psychological Association found that cosmetic surgery patients with reasonable expectations for their rhinoplasties felt less anxious, were healthier, and had more self-esteem post-surgery.

Getting elective cosmetic surgery of any kind is a personal decision. Some patients have a history of being bullied for their looks, while others simply don’t feel the size or shape of their nose fits their face well.

A positive outcome begins with an in-depth consultation with an experienced cosmetic surgeon. Any surgeon who promises miracles, drastic changes, or “bargain” surgeries should probably be avoided.

Is Rhinoplasty Right for You?

Rhinoplasty can level the playing field for some people, especially those on career paths where “good looks” are considered to be a priority. The surgery won’t address underlying emotional difficulties, but if your self-consciousness stems from your nose’s appearance alone, a rhinoplasty could help you feel more confident.

The best rhinoplasty results are those that look natural and barely noticeable. You will notice that the unwanted hump on your nose is smaller or a long nose tip is now shorter, but most people will only notice that your nose looks natural and in proportion to your face. Not being noticed for your nose may be the biggest confidence booster of all.

Top 5 Milestones of Healing that Typically Occur After Rhinoplasty

If you have ever wanted to change the way your nose looks, you’re not alone. Many people want to alter the shape, size, or structure of their nose to enhance their appearance. The nose tends to be the focal point of the face, and if there are certain imperfections in the nasal structure, they can distract from your other facial features.

While contouring with cosmetics can give the illusion of a different nose shape, rhinoplasty is the only way to change the way your nose looks permanently. For this reason, rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgical procedures in the world.

The procedure works by removing or repositioning the bones and cartilage in your nose to change the way it looks.

When seeking a rhinoplasty procedure, most patients are concerned about the recovery process. Find out what it’s like to heal from rhinoplasty by reading about the 5 milestones that occur during the recovery process.

1. Returning Home After Surgery

The first milestone in your rhinoplasty aftercare journey is returning home after surgery. Most rhinoplasty procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, which means that you can return home the same day as your procedure.

You will be monitored for several hours in an aftercare area before being discharged to return home. This is to ensure that you wake up fully from anesthesia and feel well after surgery.
In some cases, you may need to stay overnight for monitoring after your rhinoplasty. This is rare and typically applies to patients who are getting extensive procedures or have extenuating circumstances.

2. Removal of Sutures and Dressing

Once you’ve returned home after your rhinoplasty, the next milestone in your recovery will be having your dressings removed.

You will have sutures, bandaging, and potentially a small splint in place when you go home from your surgery. These provide added support to the vulnerable skin, cartilage, and bones of your nose during the first few days of recovery.

About one week after your treatment, your sutures and bandaging can come off. If you have a splint in place, it may need to remain for another week for additional support.

3. Reduced Swelling and Bruising

After a rhinoplasty procedure, it is normal to have some swelling and bruising around your nose. The swelling and bruising are due to the manipulation of your nasal tissues during the surgical process.

These typically last for one to two weeks after your procedure. When the swelling and bruising begin to subside, you will know that you’re reaching the next milestone in your healing process.

4. Returning to Exercise and Other Activities

The cartilage, bones, and other tissues in your nose are delicate. When your rhinoplasty is complete, these tissues will be especially vulnerable for several weeks. For about four to six weeks after your rhinoplasty, you will need to avoid strenuous activities that could cause stress or trauma to the nasal tissues.

Strenuous activities include exercise, contact sports, heavy lifting, and other similar tasks. About one month after your procedure, your surgeon will evaluate your healing process to determine whether you can resume your normal activities again. If you are cleared for exercise, you have reached another milestone in your healing journey.

5. Seeing Your Final Results

The last milestone of your rhinoplasty journey will be seeing your final results. It takes several weeks for swelling and bruising to completely subside and for your nasal tissues to settle into their new placement.

For most patients, final results are visible in six to eight weeks. Once you have reached this point, you have completed all of the milestones in your rhinoplasty recovery.

Will Rhinoplasty Help Me Get More Rest at Night?

Struggles with nasal breathing are a clear contributor to insomnia and sleep disturbances. Those with a deviated septum, nasal obstruction, or other structural abnormalities in the nose may not be able to breathe easily, which could affect their ability to eat, sleep, and exercise normally.

Rhinoplasty offers the opportunity to resolve nasal obstructions and other concerns that may affect your quality of life.

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Often referred to as a nose job, rhinoplasty changes the shape and structure of the patient’s nose.

While cosmetic rhinoplasty is an aesthetic operation that aims to restore balance to the face and improve the overall shape of the nose, functional rhinoplasty focuses on shaping the interior nasal passages and improving breathing.

What Medical Concerns Does Functional Rhinoplasty Fix?

Those seeking functional rhinoplasty often have nasal passages that may be too narrow, crooked, or misaligned. While some patients suffer from these concerns from birth onward, others develop misalignment or narrowing of their septum due to trauma.

When patients undergo a functional rhinoplasty solely to straighten the septum, the procedure is also called septoplasty.

Another form of functional rhinoplasty is a turbinate reduction. Those with chronic allergies and sinus infections may experience swelling and enlargement of their turbinates. Enlarged turbinates can restrict airflow in the nasal passages, making it difficult to breathe through the nose.

Functional Rhinoplasty and Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs as a result of restricted airways during sleep and causes snoring, fatigue, and breathing pauses. Those with chronic nasal congestion are much more likely to develop obstructive sleep apnea due to narrow nasal passages.

While the most common treatment for sleep apnea is using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine while sleeping, sleep apnea rhinoplasty is an effective solution for patients with nasal structural abnormalities. For the right candidate, sleep apnea rhinoplasty is more effective than a CPAP for reducing sleep apnea.

Can Rhinoplasty Improve My Sleep if I Don’t Have Sleep Apnea?

If you commonly experience nighttime nasal congestion, sinus infections, sinus pressure headaches, and snoring, clearing your nasal passages through rhinoplasty can alleviate your symptoms and prevent them from progressing into sleep apnea.

Snoring is a common symptom of poor breathing while you sleep, so those who snore regularly and loudly should seek the advice of a healthcare professional to determine whether they have a nasal obstruction.

While there are numerous causes of nighttime breathing issues, a functional rhinoplasty offers an effective solution for people who experience poor sleep because of nasal obstruction.

Can Functional Rhinoplasty Change the Shape of My Nose?

Every rhinoplasty is customized to the individual needs of the patient. A surgeon can tailor functional rhinoplasty to address your specific obstruction type and ultimate aesthetic goals.

Many patients choose to enhance their nose’s function and form in one procedure. A qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon can improve your facial balance and enhance your appearance by combining cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty into one surgery.

The benefits of rhinoplasty extend beyond aesthetics. For those suffering from decreased nasal airflow, functional rhinoplasty can improve their quality of life.

4 Reasons for You to Schedule Blepharoplasty in 2023

Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is among the most widely performed cosmetic procedures in the world, offering dramatic changes in your appearance with limited downtime. Blepharoplasty comes with both medical and aesthetic benefits, including better vision and a more youthful appearance.

If you’ve considered eyelid surgery, there’s no time like the present. Scheduling blepharoplasty in the new year is a great way to start fresh and enjoy the benefits of this impactful procedure. See the 4 best reasons to consider getting blepharoplasty below.

1.Restore Your Vision

As the delicate skin of your eyelids droops over time, it can obstruct your peripheral vision, causing more difficulty when driving or reading.

Eyelid surgery removes excess skin over the eyes and tightens the underlying muscle that contributes to sagging eyelids. As a result, the procedure can restore your vision clarity while offering a long-term solution to drooping skin.

2.Rejuvenate Your Bright, Youthful Appearance

The eyes are where you connect with others. They’re one of the first places you look when meeting someone new or interacting with friends and loved ones. Unfortunately, as the skin around your eyes is thinner and more fragile, the eyes are also one of the first areas to show signs of aging.

Over time, the skin around your eyes begins to lose its elasticity, and the muscle supporting your eyelids begins to weaken. As a result, your eyes look older, more tired, and less engaged.

Upper eyelid surgery tightens eyelid muscles while removing excess fat and skin in the eyelids to restore your youthful appearance with brighter, more open, alert eyes. Lower eyelid surgery can correct and smooth the skin to reduce lines, puffiness, and sagging, diminishing undereye bags and hollows.

3.Rebalance Asymmetry in Your Eyes

As the skin around your eyes begins to sag and fold, it rarely happens evenly and causes the eyes to develop an asymmetry that affects the balance of your entire face.

Restoring symmetry in the eyes is one of the most common reasons patients choose blepharoplasty. Whether your eyes are naturally asymmetrical or develop an unevenness with age, restoring balance enhances your overall appearance.

A skilled plastic surgeon who understands the golden ratio can ultimately and subtly enhance your appearance through a minimally invasive procedure like eyelid surgery.

4.Look and Feel Your Best

When your drooping eyelids are the first thing you notice when you look in the mirror, it affects how you feel about yourself. Eyelid surgery is a relatively inexpensive, fast procedure with a limited recovery time that offers impressive results.

Performed as an outpatient procedure that doesn’t require general anesthesia or an extended hospital stay, blepharoplasty reduces sagging eyelids, lines, wrinkles, and eye asymmetry.

Most patients return to their normal activities in 10 to 14 days with brighter, more youthful eyes and improved confidence.

Aging is a natural part of life. However, when the signs of aging affect how your eyes function and feel, eyelid surgery offers a dramatic improvement with few, if any, drawbacks.
