Known as a nose job, rhinoplasty is the manipulation of the nose bone and cartilage to reshape the nose, and many women around the world have benefitted by having rhinoplasty. If you are thinking of joining them, a Google search will help you to contact an established plastic surgeon and you can discuss the many options with a specialist.
Bangkok: A Global Hub for Plastic Surgery
Bangkok is a hub for top class plastic surgery clinics and many European and American women choose to have the treatment carried out in a Bangkok clinic, as prices are very reasonable, plus you can combine the treatment with an unforgettable holiday in amazing Thailand. There are state of the art plastic surgery clinics in Bangkok that offer natural nose augmentation (called เสริมจมูกแบบธรรมชาติ in Thai), with the very best treatment at prices that are affordable, especially when compared to European and American clinics.
Range of Treatments
There are many reasons why a person might want to alter their nose, which include the following:
- Increase the bridge of the nose – Many Asian women would like to have a more prominent bridge on their nose, which is one of the most popular nose augmentation procedures.
- Crooked nose – This might be a natural defect or the result of a personal injury and by carrying out surgery, this can be straightened. There are two types of rhinoplasty; open or closed rhinoplasty and the surgeon would decide which to use. Open rhinoplasty involves making incisions on the columella, which is the soft tissue between the nostrils, while closed rhinoplasty means the incisions are made on the insides of the nostrils, making any scarring invisible. The specialist would listen you your requirements and after an examination, he would suggest the best treatment, based on the information he has.
- Hooked nose – If your nose has a hook shape at the tip, rhinoplasty can remove this and when you make an initial appointment with the plastic surgeon, he would show you some before and after images, while also answering any questions that you might have regarding the procedure.
Downtime
The recovery period with rhinoplasty surgery very much depends on the scope of the procedure, and it could be as much as two weeks, or as little as a few days. The specialist would attach a splint directly after the surgery is completed and this would remain in place for at least a few days, along with padding and bandages.
Post-Op Instructions
This is a critical component to a successful operation and the surgeon would give you a list of do’s and don’ts to follow, which should ensure that you get optimum results. When issues do develop, it is usually because the patient did not follow the post-op instructions, especially regarding rest and downtime.
Of course, there are many plastic surgeons out there and some are better than others. Price should never be your main consideration when looking to have rhinoplasty, as it is better to pay a little more for a perfect job, rather than skimping and being less than happy with the outcome. Always check to see that the plastic surgeon is registered with the Medical Council and therefore approved to carry out plastic surgery and you should be more than happy with the results, which should be a lifelong thing.
