How to get perfect nose shape - Rhinoplasty Nose Surgery abroad

It has always been the stuff of schoolgirl comic books, the ugly ducking with the sticking out ears and big nose, who had an operation to make her nose pert and sweet and suddenly gained a new found popularity. Well happy ending stories aside, concern over the shape or size of the nose is a problem that millions of people face all over the world. After all our face is the first thing that people see and we have all heard the jokes and the leg pulling that have to be endured by those with less than perfect noses.

Considering rhinoplasty (nose remodelling) is a big step but one that many people are more than happy to take so that the first thing that people notice when they come into a room is not the shape or size of their nose. In very extreme cases or where accident or disease has caused an anomaly the NHS will usually pick up the tab, but for everyone else they will have to find their own solution although it is always worth asking your GP for his or her recommendation.

If you choose to have your cosmetic surgery abroad, make sure you research the clinic you go to. Bodies Beautiful Clinic in Prague, www.bodiesbeautiful.co.uk for instance, has comprehensive information on all types of procedure. Once you have selected a surgeon, he or she will explain how to prepare yourself for surgery. Your surgeon will examine your nose and take measurements of its shape and size and may take photographs, so that the before and after appearance can be compared.

If you are a smoker you will probably be asked to stop, as smoking increases the risk of chest and wound infection, which can adversely affect recovery. This kind of surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia, with 1 or 2 nights at the clinic.

The time the operation takes will depend on what has to be done but is normally around two hours. If you're having surgery to make your nose smaller, your surgeon will make incisions inside your nostrils so that he can get to the bone and cartilage, some of which will be removed or re-arranged to produce the end result that you and your surgeon have discussed.
The skin over your nose will not be operated on (often referred to as open nose reshaping surgery), and will naturally shrink to take on the new shape of your nose. In some cases the surgeon may need to make a small incision in the alar-facial groove or junction, this is needed for reduction or flaring of the nostril and is carried out to give the face a more balanced and natural look.

A cast will be placed on your nose during surgery, and must be kept in place for 11-15 days. In some cases this is held in place with stitches, and will needs to be removed by a surgeon. These days, in most cases, this cast is exchanged 7 days after the operation by the surgeon for a cast which the client can peel off themselves after the extended recovery period.
There will be some discomfort after the operation and some bruising that will fade in time. Most discomfort is experienced within the first 24/48 hours as tampons are inserted to pack out the nose. Removal of this packing can be uncomfortable but only for a few seconds. Rhinoplasty is a commonly performed operation and is generally safe.

Rhinoplasty can make a real difference to the life of someone who has been self conscious about his or her nose for years.
