Am I A Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
If you’re not happy with the way your nose looks, it can have an immense effect on the way you feel about your overall appearance. The nose is an incredibly prominent feature and something that can’t really be concealed. The good news is that rhinoplasty surgery, commonly referred to as a “nose job”, is a safe and proven solution for anyone trying to achieve the new nose that they desire. Our surgeons are able to perform rhinoplasty to alter the size, shape, and contour of the nose to better fit the preferences of each individual patient when appropriate.
Rhinoplasty is a bit unique relative to other plastic surgery procedures, in that it can help a wider variety of patients than most. In addition to being popular among both men and women, rhinoplasty surgery can help people from a broad range of age brackets, including teenagers in some cases. Still, just because its appeal is this wide does not mean that rhinoplasty surgery is necessarily right for everyone. To help guide potential patients in the right direction, our board-certified plastic surgeons thought it would be helpful to lay out the following guidelines to help determine who might be a good candidate for rhinoplasty.
In order to be considered a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery, candidates should:
- Have a desire to change the size, width, shape, or contour of your nose
- Be of the age where the face has finished maturing
- Be in good overall physical and emotional health
- Maintain a positive outlook and realistic expectations about the results that can be achieved through rhinoplasty
- Not be a smoker, as nicotine can lead to complications during surgery and recovery
