Medical Tourism Packages in Mashhad for Cosmetic Surgery
Deciding to change the way you look through cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery takes courage and a lot of consideration. It is your body, so naturally, you will want to place it in the safe hands of someone who is highly respected in the field of plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery.
Rhinoplasty, also called plastic surgery of the nose or a “nose job”, is a very popular procedure that can make profound differences not only in the balance of facial features but also in a person’s self-esteem. The aesthetic improvements that a rhinoplasty surgeon can make include decreasing or increasing the size of the nose, altering the tip or bridge of the nose, and narrowing or changing the shape of the nostrils.
What is Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
Rhinoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery that is performed to reshape the nose. Although rhinoplasty is most often sought for cosmetic reasons, it can also help correct structural defects that may cause breathing problems.
Plastic surgery of the nose begins when the rhinoplasty surgeon makes an incision either inside the nose or across the skin that separates the nostrils (this skin is called the columella). The cartilage and bone that make up the framework of the nose are then exposed and sculpted to create the desired shape and profile. The plastic surgeon then stitches the skin back into place to complete the nose surgery. Rhinoplasty surgery generally lasts one to two hours and is usually an outpatient procedure.
