Rhinoplasty is a word used to describe many cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. The two most popular types of procedures are rhinoplasties and nose jobs. Each one is designed to improve one or more of the patient’s features, usually his or her nose, but sometimes it’s the entire face that’s changed. However, no matter what part of the face is changed, the results are always the same: the patient is satisfied with how he or she looks and is happy with his or her new appearance. This article will briefly discuss how long does nose reshaping last, how much does nose reshaping cost, and what you should expect from your doctor before and after your operation.

• The first question that every prospective patient asks is how long does nose reshaping last? Usually, the entire procedure is only a few weeks in length. In some cases, the surgeon may ask for an additional week or two to do any specific procedures. Your doctor will determine how long your procedure will take based on how much change you want to see and how large your nasal bones are. The outcome will vary based on how well your facial plastic surgeon does his or her job, but a nose job should feel permanent because the new shape stays the same for the duration of your recovery.
• How much does nose reshaping cost? The exact cost of a nose job will vary depending on how long your plastic surgeon has you stay overnight, how many nose jobs are done, how many different surgeries you require, how complex the surgery is, and how long you’re going to need to recuperate. Many insurance companies will not cover rhinoplasties or certain facial plastic surgeries, so you will likely have to pay all your medical bills. On average, rhinoplasties are usually covered by most insurance plans. However, there are a few policies that will cover the costs completely, so make sure to check with your insurance company before scheduling your procedure. Some insurance companies also offer financing options for rhinoplasties or other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, so be sure to look into that option as well.
• What can I expect during my nose job? Most procedures take less than three hours in total, and you will be able to return home the same day. You will be able to drive yourself home after surgery, and you should be able to use your nose right away. Since most nose jobs involve small incisions, you should have no lasting pain or scarring after your surgery.

• How can I tell if I’m a good candidate for endoscopic surgery? There are several criteria that your surgeon will use to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for this type of procedure. He will first ask for photos of your nasal fractures, then he’ll want to perform some additional tests to ensure that you have no structural nasal fractures. If your doctor is not positive that you are a good candidate, he will refer you to another surgeon who is. You will also probably need to get one or two tests done before the surgery to make sure your sinuses are clear, and that your nose is not too wide or too long.
• When will I receive the anesthesia? The exact amount of anesthesia needed will depend on many factors, including how large your nose is, how much swelling you have, how much facial bruising you have, how large your nostrils are, and how much pain you are in. Talk with your cosmetic surgeon to find out exactly how much local anesthesia you will need, how long it will take before you feel any pain, and what your recovery time will be like. While local anesthesia is generally the safest, it can cause some significant side effects.
• How will I look after the nose surgery? Most patients can go home the same day as their rhinoplasty surgery. They may be given an ice pack to apply to the affected area, but swelling usually goes down within a few days. A nasal cast will need to be placed on your nose for about a week to help the cast support your nasal cavities, as well as to help heal the incisions and bruising.
• How do I pay for my otoplasty? Most insurance plans cover some or all of the costs of cosmetic surgeries like rhinoplastic septum reshaping, although most policies don’t cover the full cost of this type of surgery. There are Medicare and private insurance plans available to cover all or part of your surgery costs. Your plastic surgeon will discuss these options with you and determine which plan will best meet your needs.
