Nose job, rhinoplasty and nose surgery in Las Vegas gives you a nose that is shaped as you desired and functions as it was designed. Not all nose jobs are done for cosmetic reasons, and in fact, for some cases of reconstruction health insurance may cover the cost of the surgery. If you consider your nose to be unsightly or you have difficulty breathing rhinoplasty may be the answer. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will give you a good idea as to the results you can expect and the possible risks and complications associated with this surgery.
What To Expect During Nose Surgery
Most times nose surgery in Las Vegas is performed on an outpatient basis in a surgical clinic. The patient together with their surgeon can determine if a general anesthesia or a local anesthesia with sedation is the best choice. In rare cases, surgeons will require a stay overnight after the surgery. During the procedure the surgeon will make incision in the skin to access the cartilage and bones in the nose. Depending on the results desired, some bone may be removed, or conversely tissue may be added. The nose will be crafted and reshaped guided by the expert hands of a board certified plastic surgeon.
What To Expect During Recovery
Most patients experience some pain, swelling, and general discomfort after rhinoplasty. This is perfectly normal. Two to three days after surgery, the surgical packing materials placed inside your nose during the procedure will be removed. A few days after that, typically one week after the surgery, the bandages and splint will be removed. For the discomfort, your surgeon may prescribe pain medications and recommend cold compresses to help reduce pain and ease the swelling. You will have some bruising, swelling, and pain for one to two weeks. Before you know it, your nose will be perfectly shaped and functioning as it was intended.
When To Choose Nose Surgery
A nose job can be for cosmetic reasons, to correct structural problems, or a combination of the two. After a traumatic accident or injury, a deviated septum can cause chronic congestion and significant breathing problems. In this case, nose surgery in Las Vegas can help you breathe, sleep and overall, function better. If instead you do not care for the size, angle, or shape of your nose, rhinoplasty can correct faults such as nostril size, humps or bumps, or change the angle of the tip of the nose.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures conducted today. More and more teenagers are having this procedure at younger ages to help them with breathing problems or because they have a deformity in their nose due to hereditary or injury.
Regardless of the reason, a nose job is a safe and effective medical procedure that will reshape your appearance. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon for your nose surgery in Las Vegas.
