Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is one of the most common and popular facial surgeries to be performed, so it’s no surprise that there are several myths floating around about the procedure.
The common theory is that a nose job is purely a cosmetic procedure, however, that’s not the case. rhinoplasty is also highly beneficial for relieving breathing difficulties, leading to improved physical performance and sleep.
Let’s have a look at eight of the most common rhinoplasty myths!
#1 Rhinoplasty is Only for Women
All surgeries, including facial surgeries, are available to all genders. Although cosmetic surgeries are more common in females, new statistics show that 29% of men choose to get rhinoplasty either for aesthetic or medical purposes, while women prefer surgeries to improve other assets, like breast surgeries or liposuction.
#2 The Procedure Is Painful
While you may experience slight pain or discomfort during the healing process, you won’t feel anything during the procedure as you will be under full general aesthetic.
#3 Your Nose Will Look Fake Afterwards
Your nose is one of your most noticeable features, so it’s natural to feel worried about the appearance of your nose being, well, unnatural. However, as long as you choose a surgeon who is passionate about their craft, the end result will look as natural as possible.
Dr Oosthuizen takes into consideration the other proportions and features of your face to ensure a balanced result that appears as natural as possible. He aims to achieve a beautiful nose that blends and fits with the rest of the facial features.
#4 You Will Have Long-Term Breathing Issues
Alongside cosmetic reasons, rhinoplasty can also be performed for medical purposes to relieve breathing difficulties, so there is no reason for the surgery to cause long-term breathing issues. If anything, it’s the opposite: Rhinoplasty can create long-term breathing success!
#5 You Can Get a Celebrity’s Nose
It is nearly impossible to replicate the nose of another person as each person’s nasal and facial structure is different and unique to that person. When performing rhinoplasty, your plastic surgeon aims to ensure your new nose matches the facial features and proportions of your face. If they were to try and replicate someone else’s nose, there is a big chance that it would not blend naturally into the rest of your facial features.
During your consultation, your surgeon will take you through the steps of the procedure and digitally show you how your new nose will look.
#6 Rhinoplasty Needs to Be Repeated at Some Point
Although most facial cosmetic procedures are temporary and require occasional touch ups, rhinoplasty provides permanent results that should last a lifetime. However, a second rhinoplasty may be required if the recovery guidelines were not followed or if for whatever reason the procedure was not performed accurately, however this is extremely rare.
It is also important to understand that rhinoplasty surgery cannot stop the nose from aging naturally.
#7 Your Nose Will Have Visible Scarring
It’s important to understand that with any surgical procedure, there will be noticeable scarring afterwards. However, these scars are not permanently visible.
Immediately after surgery, your scars will already be quite discreet and if necessary, you should be able to easily conceal these with makeup. Once the entire healing process is complete, your scars will be almost invisible.
#8 Rhinoplasty Can Be Done by Any Plastic Surgeon
This myth is technically true, although it is not ideal. Any plastic surgeon has the medical qualifications to perform a rhinoplasty, however, specialist plastic surgeons and ENTs undertake extensive study in facial anatomy and bone structure that make them capable of successfully performing nose reshaping surgery. Rhinoplasty is widely considered to be one of the most technically challenging procedures to perform.
When selecting a surgeon for your rhinoplasty, choose a qualified specialist plastic surgeon or ENT who has plenty of experience performing nose jobs. A fully qualified and certified specialist surgeon in Australia should be a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). Ensure your chosen surgeon has a visual gallery of before and after photos as well as photos throughout the healing process to demonstrate how swelling and scarring will subside over time. Dr Oosthuizen has some before and after images available on his website for perusal, but you can ask to see more during your consultation.
Dr Oosthuizen is committed to improving his patient’s quality of life by prioritising both nasal form and function during his rhinoplasty procedures. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.
