On the other hand if you ask what a nose job is, almost every single person would know. Nose jobs are all too popular amongst those who have had accidents in the past or would like to change their physical appearance. Getting a rhinoplasty has become a routine practice, making it a very low-risk surgery with great results with no drawbacks.
Rhinoplasty for cosmetic purposes is the second most performed procedure in the US trailing Breast Augmentation by 28%, ahead of Liposuction by 11%. All surgeries, no matter how invasive or minimally invasive, carry risks. Rhinoplasty has small risks and even those risks are very minor in comparison with the risks associated with not undergoing a procedure designed to treat sleep apnea. If you find yourself considering whether to consult a doctor or continue to cope with sleep apnea, make the first step to approach your doctor to eliminate those side effects.
Rhinoplasty is also used to remedy breathing problems, though this is what it is seldom used for. When this is the case, the culprit is usually a constricted nasal passage, inflamed nasal skin or scar tissue within the nasal passage from previous injuries to the nose. Primary Rhinoplasty is not always the solution to these problems and secondary Rhinoplasty is not uncommon. Sometimes secondary Rhinoplasty may be required when your doctor notices that the shape of the nose is not quite what’s expected or breathing is not fully restored.
When Rhinoplasty is performed, a small incision is made between the nostrils. Different methods of operation will be discussed with you depending on your medical history. You can discuss these methods with your Ears, Nose and Throat Doctor before the surgery. The doctor will then reshape the nasal bone or cartilage and could possibly take bones or cartilage from other parts of your body such as ribs. The doctor may also use plastic surgical implants to obtain the correct shape that the nose should hold.
Another popular reason that people will undergo Rhinoplasty is for sleep apnea and snoring problems. Although Rhinoplasty is not always the primary solution, your Dallas Ears, Nose and Throat doctor will recommend Rhinoplasty when other options to treat sleep apnea are less effective. Due to the severity of the problem, Rhinoplasty can either be a minor or major treatment to treat sleep apnea. Snoring on the other hand is much less of a concern. If you experience problems with snoring, you will have more time and choice with what solution you will select to treat your chronic snoring.
