Any rhinoplasty expert will tell you for a fact the procedure is special in so many ways. This has a lot to do with the fact that it combines art with surgical technique. It is therefore a technically demanding exercise that calls for both skill and precision. There is simply no room for errors. There is also the fact that the improvements and changes are always on display. This alone, always goes a long way to boost a person’s esteem. But like you are about to find out, rhinoplasty always calls for a tailored approach. It is hardly ever a one size fits all procedure. Read on to learn more.
Rhinoplasty Trends
Historically, the main objective of patients who wanted a nose job emphasized on correcting the so called ‘imperfections’ and ‘flaws’ in a bid to have a nose that and surpassed a Eurocentric standard of beauty. The standard back then considered narrower noses to be more appealing. Strangely though, people are now veering from these kinds of ‘one size fits’ all demands. They are now requesting plastic surgeons to avoid making their noses appear too perfect. In simple words, today’s rhinoplasty patients look for what will make them stand out as opposed to what will make them fit in.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can sometimes take away some uniqueness. It therefore does not come as a surprise that there are now patients who want to reclaim and restore some of the uniqueness that the procedure took away from them. This alone is one of the main reasons why you should make sure the plastic surgeon you choose in the first place is skilled enough to ensure you won’t ever need revision rhinoplasty. As most plastic surgeons put it, revision rhinoplasty is more complex than a first time nose job. Some plastic surgeons actually consider it the most challenging and complicated plastic surgery procedure. Your best bet here is to choose a surgeon who is not just experienced but one who specializes in rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery.
Liquid Nose Jobs
You must have come across articles and journals that feature non-surgical nose jobs. Aptly referred to as liquid nose jobs, they are procedures that involve using injectable fillers to come up with temporary changes to the shape, size and contours of the nose. The trend is quickly becoming popular especially among young people. But as much as it is a good solution to people who are keen on subtle changes, non-surgical rhinoplasty results are not permanent. They offer temporary relief.
Other Factors
People are different. Men and women for instance, seem to always go for different things when it comes to rhinoplasty. The only common thing between men and women as far as rhinoplasty is concerned is how both want their noses to retain some character. This leaves the plastic surgeon with no choice but to be versatile and creative. Race is yet another factor that makes nose job procedures call for a tailored approach. Nose contours differ with different races yet sometimes clients refer to a public figure of a different race in a bid to explain to a surgeon what they want their nose to look like.
