What To Consider Before Having A Nose Job

Written by Kelly Altodona

So you've decided to have a nose job otherwise known as a rhinoplasty. Before you decide to go forward there are a few things you need to know about this common cosmetic surgery procedure.

First of all, most nose jobs are considered to be elective surgery, which means that it is not absolutely necessary. This means that you need to be financially prepared for repparttar cost of repparttar 137707 procedure as well as for repparttar 137708 three days to two weeks that you might need to recover from repparttar 137709 operation. In some countries such as Canada or Costa Rica a government insurance program might cover repparttar 137710 cost of repparttar 137711 operation if repparttar 137712 surgery is deemed to be necessary medically.

There are very few situations under which a rhinoplasty is considered to be medically necessarily in order to improve an individual's quality of life. If you have a serious accident that involves a direct blow to repparttar 137713 face that causes repparttar 137714 shattering of nasal bones or repparttar 137715 tearing of nasal cartilage than your nose job will likely be considered to be an emergency. This is also true if repparttar 137716 injury affects your ability to breathe in anyway.

Other conditions that qualify as medical justifications to have a nose job are a deviated septum, a birth defect or a nasal obstruction. However surgeries to correct these conditions are also considered elective. This means that unless you are willing to pay a pretty penny for private treatment you might be waiting for months to have your surgery done in a hospital. If a doctor can also demonstrate that an individual is suffering a serious and prolonged mental or emotional illness (such as depression o a cognitive disorder) as repparttar 137717 result of an overly large or asymmetrical nose then your case might be seen to more urgently.

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty medically falls under repparttar

category of major invasive surgery so repparttar 137706

first thing you need to consider before you have repparttar 137707

operation is whether or not you are willing to take repparttar 137708

risk. The best candidates for this operation are non-smokers who are in good health with no history of any kind of immune compromising disorder.

The intention of a tummy tuck is to remove and then tighten lose flesh that may be repparttar 137709 result of rapid weight loss or pregnancy. It is not to be confused with liposuction, which is an entirely different procedure that involves repparttar 137710 vacuuming of fat from between repparttar 137711 skin and repparttar 137712 abdominal wall.

If you are a woman that is planning at some time to have more children there is absolutely no point in getting a tummy tuck until you feel your child bearing years are over.

Many plastic surgeons simply will not operate on a smoker as repparttar 137715 habit is thought to seriously undermine repparttar 137716 healing of bruises and stitches. If you are smoking be prepared to quit your habit at least a couple of weeks before repparttar 137717 commencement of repparttar 137718 surgery and don't plan on smoking at all during your recovery period. Smoking can cause a potential fatal skin condition called necrosis.
