In today’s day and age, beauty no longer lies in the eye of the beholder. Instead, it emanates from within - a heady cocktail of self-esteem, confidence and the zeal to impress. Aesthetically enhancing one’s beauty, therefore, is a part of one’s personal resolve to amaze.
Take rhinoplasty for example. It is just one among the gamut of cosmetic surgeries available, albeit sought after the world over. Popularly known as a ‘nose job’, the procedure itself dates back to the days of yore. In fact, the term ‘rhinoplasty’ (derived from the Greek words 'rhis', meaning 'nose', and 'plassein' meaning ‘to shape’) came to be associated with the plastic repair of broken noses, as documented in transcripts found in ancient Egypt and India. Today, the procedure is essentially employed to either reconstruct, enhance, or restore the functions of the nose. Rhinoplasty is also widely used to resolve severe nasal injuries or congenital defects.
Its hand in aesthetic enhancement, however, is what has appealed to people from all walks of life. From the galaxy of stars on the silver screen, to the person you might have just crossed paths with down the street, rhinoplasty will most probably have been their choice to tweak their image. While this procedure does not involve the creation of a new nose, it most certainly can straighten a crooked one, widen it, improve its tip, remove a bump in it and even make it facially proportionate.
Rhinoplasty is carried out on the inside of the nose. It involves separating the skin and tissues from the nasal framework, making the required corrections, and then suturing the incisions made. The corrected nose is finally supported by a stent to ensure proper healing after the procedure. Although a marked improvement in facial features is noticed about a week after the surgery, the intended result is gradual, and may take weeks or even months to emerge.
Recovery from the surgery is also fairly quick. Bruising around the eyes, though common in rhinoplasty procedures, usually clears up within a week with the help of medication, by which time you are up and about…ready to resume life as you know it.
Aesthetic enhancement, coupled with quick recovery and pronounced outcomes is what has added to the popularity of rhinoplasty. So, who nose what’s best for you? You most certainly do!
