Rhinoplasty and Recovery

A Case of Successful Rhinoplasty and Recovery

Are you afraid of having rhinoplasty?  Do reports of rhinoplasty gone wrong preventing you from finally achieving your dream of enhancing your looks by improving the shape of your nose?  Whether you want to reduce the size of your nose or repair a hump or re-shape your nose, you don’t need to be scared about this simple cosmetic procedure.  There are hundreds of thousands of people who underwent it and became finally happy with their looks.

My roommate Anna didn’t like her nose.  She had a very flat nose typical of many Asian women.  She wanted to increase the height of the bridge of her nose slightly.  She didn’t want to look Caucasian but she wasn’t happy with her nose.  When she was in high school, her very flat nose was always the butt of jokes among her classmates.  Now that she has a good paying job, she wanted to erase that bad memory behind.

Anna asked me to accompany her for her pre-consultation.  She found a good doctor her officemate recommended.  The plastic surgeon said that he uses open technique which means that Anna has to be operated in the operating room of the hospital.  The doctor explained that he feels more confident with the technique because he can see the whole structure of the nose.  There is a low chance that the silicon that will be attached to the nose bridge will get askew.

Find the Right Surgeon and Get Fast Rhinoplasty Recovery

The doc tor said that there are two types of material that is used in improving the height of the nose bridge.  Doctors use either a cartilage from the ear lobes or commercially available silicon manufactured specifically for rhinoplasty.  Anna’s surgeon told her that he uses silicon.  He feels that getting cartilage from the ear lobe increases the patient’s chance of getting infection.

After agreeing on the price, my friend decided to push through with the surgery.  She felt confident that the surgeon has explained everything well.  She felt excited because finally her dream of having an improved nose will come true.  She took a 2 week leave of absence and scheduled the operation the first week her leave will take effect.

The operation took only 2 hours.  Anna noticed that at the end of the first week, the swelling wasn’t noticeable already.  She also noticed that the suture has completely healed.  It has been 2 years since Anna had the operation and she’s now enjoying her beautiful Asian appearance with a slightly taller nose bridge.  She didn’t regret getting the rhinoplasty. Anna’s rhinoplasty and recovery were very fast and successful.
