Rhinoplasty Philadelphia - Nose Reshaping

Rhinoplasty, or more commonly known as nasal surgery or a ‘Nose Job’, is performed to correct physiological as well as aesthetic defects such as a deviated septum and abnormalities as the result of prior injury or genetics.  These abnormalities can obstruct air flow into the lungs and cause breathing problems, snoring or sleep apnea.  Philadelphia Plastic Surgery Patients of Dr. Robert J. Mirabile also seek rhinoplasty to correct aesthetic defects, that when corrected provide balance and harmony to their facial features, thus complimenting their natural beauty.  The results of nasal surgery can be seen almost immediately and patients are able to return to work within days of surgery.

Is it Right for Me?

The decision to undergo rhinoplasty surgery is one that you should carefully consider. As with any cosmetic surgical procedure, be sure that your motivations are centered around fulfilling and enhancing your own sense of innate beauty and self-image.

Nasal surgery may be right for those who:

* Are physically healthy
* Have completed all growth of the face and are 13 years old or older
* Do not smoke
* Have realistic expectations of nasal surgery

What to expect during your consultation

In order to create the best possible results from your nasal surgery, it is important that your surgeon consult with you to discuss your desires and expectations, as well as how rhinoplasty will impact your health, lifestyle and general well-being.

It is a good idea to prepare by considering the following before your consultation:

* General medical history, including any previous surgeries or life-threatening illness
* A detailed account of current prescription medications, supplements (vitamins or others) that you take
* Any use of tobacco or other drugs
* What are your motivations for surgery? What are your expectations?

At the consultation, your surgeon will also:

* Evaluate your current health
* Examine the condition of your pre-operative nose for size, shape and irregularities and photograph your nose from all angles
* Based on the information gathered, your surgeon will discuss your surgical options and recommend a course of treatment
* Disclose the risk of common complications associated with nose surgery and the use of anesthesia
* Cover what to do the day of surgery
* Cover post-operative care and recovery
