What is the age range for cosmetic surgery?
Fifteen (15) years old is the minimum required age for rhinoplasty / nose
surgery. In females, it is younger, 13 years old. This is so because male body
organs mature longer and never stop until they are older. As we have noticed,

beauty / physical appearance is bit shallow and sensitive, than that of the
matured people. That’s why a thorough evaluation and surgical assessment must

earners. The cost is more or less $4000
up to $7000, depending on the package you availed if it includes the
anesthesia, hospital accommodation and other facilities. This is so because
most nose jobs are not covered by health insurance. Variation on the cost of the procedure
depends on many factors such as but not limited to: the complexity of the
surgery, the status of the surgeons (services of famous medical professions may
command higher price), location (more practitioners’ means competitive prices).
How Rhinoplasty Procedure is done?
Either a General anesthesia or a local anesthesia is given to patient for
Rhinoplasty. If sometimes differs depending on the patient’s preference and the
complexity of the surgery itself.
The types of Rhinoplasty are:
- Open Technique =
this involves making incision across the skin between the nostrils. The
internal structures of the nose can easily be worked on this technique.
The swelling after the surgery will take a bit of time to subside.
- Close Technique =
this doesn’t require an incision on the outer tissues of the nose. The
healing on this technique is quicker because the tissues are less
disrupted.
Rhinoplasty aim to minimize scaring from the incisions done outside the nose
that is why often times the cut is made inside the rim of the nostrils, the
soft tissue are separated from the underlying structure. The cartilage and bone
of the nose are then reshaped to get the visualized cosmetic results. The
nostrils can be widened or narrowed according to need.
Operation Time for Rhinoplasty
The procedure is usually performed
on an out-patient basis. The surgery is done on span of time of one up to two
hours.
Post Operative Care for Rhinoplasty

Discomfort may arise but it is controllable by mild analgesics. If there is
external incision done, the nostrils stitches shall be removed between 3-5
days.
The swelling will gradually subside after several weeks. The swelling around
the eyes can be reduced through cold compress. Recovery and healing depends on
the individual ability of the patient but usually the nose will be healed
within a few weeks. Numbness can be felt especially on the extensive surgeries.
The nose will be sensitive so it is recommended to us sunscreen. The patient
can go back to light work after a couple of days depending on the appearance.

Unexpected health problems may
arise after the operation especially on general anesthetic. It may be serious or benign. Some of the
manifestations are: infection, scarring, numbness and unhappiness for
unsatisfactory final result.
