Hey everyone —
Rhinoplasty is one of the most demanding procedures in facial plastic surgery and around the world. Most people believe that this is a procedure recommended for aesthetic reasons. Beyond the aesthetics, rhinoplasty can provide a variety of benefits. Rhinoplasty can improve breathing, reduce snoring, help with sinus problems, fix a broken nose, and make you feel more confident. Below, Dr. Fabricio Regiani will address the benefits of rhinoplasty.
Improve breathing
Some people are forced to breathe through the mouth because it is hard to breathe through the nose. This difficulty in breathing can be due to a deviated septum or nasal polyps, caused by allergies. Rhinoplasty procedures is often done concurrently with a septoplasty (correction of a deviated septum) and/or a turbinectomy (removal of the inferior nasal turbinate). This procedure can be done to correct any structural problems within the nose and improve the patient’s quality of life as well as breathing.
Improve sleep quality
Were you aware that trouble sleeping during the night can be linked to breathing problems? The inability to maintain deep sleep during the night can be caused by snoring, sleep apnea, or interrupted sleep. This may cause an interference with the body’s natural process of recuperating and resting during sleep. Corrective rhinoplasty can help improve sleep quality, snoring, and respiratory disruptions by providing better airflow and fewer physical obstacles.
Relieve anxiety
Several other diseases can be aggravated due to impaired breathing. If you suffer from a predisposition to a disease, you may experience panic attacks when it is manifested. Corrective rhinoplasty helps regulate breathing, which in turn benefits the individual by controlling symptoms such as hyperventilation. It helps balance the volume of carbon dioxide in the body.
Fix a broken nose
The nose is the facial bone that gets broken the most often. Nose fractures can be caused by sports injuries or accidents. Once the nasal cartilage is damaged, it needs to either be removed or remodeled. Cartilage grafts may be required to reconstruct the nose and restore its functions.
Feel more confident
In addition to happiness, feeling good about your own image and feeling attractive is fundamental. Moreover, in order to fit it and feel successful, there’s an unconscious tendency to conform to society’s standards of beauty.
According to various studies in neuropsychology, it is common to see a boost in self-confidence in patients who undergo rhinoplasty. Patients report to feel more beautiful and confident, which provides an automatic physiological response in boosting their self-esteem.
Enhances facial harmony
And last but not least, rhinoplasty helps patients meet aesthetic goals. It does so by enhancing facial harmony and the proportions of the nose. It can improve cosmetic concerns including:
- Size of the nose in relation to the facial structure as a whole;
- Both the width and the protuberance of the nasal dorsum (called the dorsal hump);
- Nasal profile;
- Nasal tip, which may be droopy, bulbous, or upturned;
- Nostrils that are uneven or oversized;
- Anatomical abnormality (e.g. deviated septum)
