“A Guide to Cosmetic and Rhinoplasty.” Available from: Google scholar | page rank: 8. Google has lots of useful things to say about everything, including the fact that it’s easy to do a search. That’s really true for rhinoplasty, although I have seen a bit of bias in articles I’ve read on the subject from various surgeons that I was consulting with before I decided to do my own research.
My own personal experience with rhinoplasty, both as an aesthetic last surgeon and as a patient, lead me to conclude that one of the best things that anyone can do is to educate himself about the subject. Reading articles such as this one, which focuses on aesthetic plast surgically correction, is the first step in doing so. It’s important to find out more about the basic concepts of cosmetic surgery before deciding whether one is a good candidate. Some people are simply better candidates for some procedures than others, and this is where the research comes in.
I also learned that aesthetic last surgery involves three steps: removing the overlying loose skin, manipulating the surrounding muscles to reposition the overlying tissue and sealing the underlying muscle tissue closed. Visit website and the first two steps, dealing with excess skin tightness, are typically done using general anesthesia and the last step, sealing closed the muscle tissue, is usually done using local anesthesia. In my own experience, I did my own cosmetic nose using these three steps. However, I wasn’t an aesthetic rhinoplasty using only these three steps, but rather, I was a patient of a reputable and experienced liposuction surgeon who uses the same three steps. While my experience differs somewhat from his, I thought it was important to convey my thoughts on the process in this article.
I am a firm believer that aesthetic rhinoplasty patients should be pre-screened to make certain that there are no aesthetic deformities that could pose a risk to them later in life, especially with the aging process. One of the things that I found interesting, and this came as a result of my own research, was that aesthetic rhinoplasty surgery typically does not correct persistent, recurrent capsular contracture (RCC). This is a condition that if left untreated, can lead to serious health complications, such as heart disease and pulmonary embolism. What I also learned is that this is not a condition that is caused by a failure of the lymphatic system.
As you can see, whether you were treated as a rhino or as a non-Rhino, both types of cosmetic surgeries can lead to different kinds of health problems down the road. Whether you undergo primary rhinoplasty using a silicone implant, or secondary rhinoplasty using a capsulotomy approach, it’s important to know the risks and complications of your surgery. Above all else, it’s important to choose a doctor with whom you feel comfortable and who communicates clearly with you. If you find that you don’t feel comfortable with your cosmetic surgeon, chances are good that it may be time for a new one.
