What are the benefits of getting rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedure sought by many. It can not only enhance the look of your nose, but also improve the function of your nose and impact on your well-being. Learn more about what rhinoplasty can do and the various health benefits of getting rhinoplasty.

What can rhinoplasty do?

Simply put, rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that changes the shape of your nose. For some, getting rhinoplasty might purely be for cosmetic reasons. For others however, they might not necessarily be trying to improve their looks, but rather wanting to correct a medical condition or nose injury.

Here’s what rhinoplasty can do:

Contrary to what many might assume, rhinoplasty is not simply all about changing your appearance. In fact, the benefits of getting rhinoplasty extend far beyond cosmetic purposes and can impact on a person’s emotional, mental, and even physical well-bring.

Benefits of getting rhinoplasty

1. Alleviate breathing problems

Structural issues, such as a deviated septum, can lead to breathing issues, including loud breathing, snoring, and difficulty breathing through the nose. A traditional rhinoplasty combined with septoplasty can help correct a deviated septum, straighten curved nasal passages, and create wider nasal passages to improve breathing.

2. Eliminate sinus problems

Sinus problems are very common and occur when your sinuses are infected and full. These blocked nasal passages can result in chronic blocked nose, nasal congestions, and even headaches which can affect your daily life. Sometimes, one side of the nose is so severely blocked that it cause breathing difficulties.

Rhinoplasty can eliminate, if not, improve sinus issues by making changes to your nasal septum to enable your sinuses to drain more easily. Hence, making it easier for you to breathe and not feel sick all the time.

3. Improve your sleep

Snoring happens where your unconscious breathing is interrupted due to airway blockages. This restricted flow of air through your nose can cause you and those around you to experience poor quality sleep. And restless sleep has been linked to variety of health problems such as depression, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Getting rhinoplasty can help with snoring by improving your breathing which can in turn, reduce the likelihood of restless sleep and subsequently also minimize the risk of developing the associated health problems.

4. Repair your broken nose

Broken noses are one of the most common facial fractures that one can easily sustain from sports such as soccer, volleyball and basketball, to name a few. Any trauma or injury to your nose can damage both the appearance and function of your nose. The damage, if not fixed properly, can aggravate, if not, lead to chronic breathing issues, sinus issues, and could even affect your sense of smell.

Rhinoplasty can help those who have suffered an injured or broken nose by fixing the broken nose and ensure that it returns to the appearance it had before the injury, or maybe even make your nose look better than it was before.

5. Improve your mental health

How you feel about yourself affects how you lead and view your life. Constantly feeling unattractive and self-conscious of your appearance can actually have a detrimental effect on how you view yourself, cause you to lose your self-confidence and hurt your self-esteem.

Having a successful nose job can encourage a positive self-image which will boost your emotional health and leads to positive thoughts. Once you start to feel good about the way you look, you will have a positive outlook towards life. This positive attitude drives how others perceive you, and can bring about success in your life and career.

6. Improve your emotional health

Your emotional health involves your ability to manage and express the emotions that arise from what you have learned and experienced. Rhinoplasty can, in a way, fix a part of you that has previously controlled you emotionally. These changes, together with your improved mental health, will lead to a boost in your mental health and self-esteem.

7. Improve your facial aesthetics

Nose reshaping can alter the proportions of your face, changing the way you look and create a more balanced and harmonized facial look. Needless to say, a successful rhinoplasty can alter your outward appearance and enhance your beauty. An improvement in your aesthetics will definitely restore your confidence, and not forgetting, boost your mental and emotional health.

Conclusion

While it may be true, rhinoplasty provides mainly cosmetic benefits. That said however, the positive impacts that it can also have on your physical, mental and emotional health should not be dismissed.
