Narrowing Your Nose
How many times have you looked in the mirror and thought you would really like to have a narrower nose to improve your appearance? If you’re in Manhattan, Dr. Bellin’s nose surgery clinic, CosMedica, is the place for you to visit when you want to enhance your overall appearance.
Are you a good candidate?
When you visit it, be prepared to have a thorough consultation with Dr. Bellin. In order for your nose job to be a success, you must communicate thoroughly with him, and he will want to discuss your reasons for wanting rhinoplasty and what your expectations are.
You will also be asked questions concerning your overall health and frame of mind, to be sure the procedure will be safe and effective. Detailed information on any relevant issues and concerns you have will help him determine whether or not you are a good candidate for a nose job. Be sure to ask as many questions as you can think of so you are well informed prior to your surgery date. If you think of additional questions after your consultation, do not hesitate to contact Dr. Bellin. An informed patient is usually a satisfied and happy patient.
Preparation
In preparation for your surgery, Dr. Bellin will give you instructions as to eating and drinking habits. You may be able to continue with some, but others will have to be avoided prior, during and for a time after your nose surgery. Some over-the-counter medications, such as aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs, thin the blood. So you will need to avoid taking them for a period of time. Pay close attention to his preparation guidelines. They are for your safety and well-being.
You will also be given post-surgery instructions that you must follow closely to facility your healing. Remember that your nasal surgery is an operation like any other. Your after-care is a key factor in the recovery process.
The procedure
The procedure to narrow your nose consists of re-shaping the bridge. This area is made up of bone rather than cartilage, and narrowing requires the cutting and placement of the bones in a closer position to one another. The cut must be made very close to the cheek in order to avoid a malformation on the side of the nose. The bones must then be positioned evenly or the nose will appear misshapen or crooked.
During your procedure, Dr. Bellin may also remove excess cartilage and bone that would otherwise prevent him from bringing the nasal bones to their proper positioning. He may also find it necessary to perform other corrective techniques in order to achieve the overall appearance you desire in your facial features.
Are there any risks?
As with all surgery, there are some risks, such as:
- Reaction to the anesthesia
- Infection
- Nosebleeds
However, the techniques and advances in the field of rhinoplasty have made nose surgeries safe and nearly risk free. And the beneficial outcome of a successful nose job far outweighs the risks. Good doctor-patient communication and your adherence to all of the guidelines Dr. Bellin gives you will ensure that your goal of a narrower nose will be realized without undue risk.
