People get rhinoplasties, also known as nose jobs, for a variety of reasons. For example, you might feel your nose is too large or out of balance with the rest of your face, or maybe you had an injury that did not heal well. Rhinoplasty can help correct those issues, among many others, to help you feel confident in your own skin.
Surgical correction can also improve your breathing and reduce the risk of chronic sinus infections. If you are unsure whether a nose job can address your concerns, schedule an initial consultation for a rhinoplasty in Tampa. Our board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kailash Narasimhan can explain more about rhinoplasty, the process involved, and what to expect during recovery.
At the beginning of the rhinoplasty consultation in Tampa, Dr. Narasimhan asks you about your aesthetic and functional goals for the procedure. Rhinoplasty can correct malformation or imbalances in nasal structure, or a deviated septum to improve your breathing and reduce your risk of chronic sinus infections.
The next step is a thorough medical history. During this discussion, Dr. Narasimhan asks about your past surgeries, medical conditions, and medications or supplements that you are taking. This helps to identify potential risks or contraindications for the procedure.
Our plastic surgeon also examines your nose and facial structures to assess cartilage strength, skin thickness, and overall facial symmetry. One of our other staff members will also take photographs from different angles to help plan the surgery and which will be used for before and after comparisons.
Based on the information from the exam and photos, Dr. Narasimhan creates a customized treatment plan, including the surgical approach and associated risks and benefits. He will then review the plan with you so you understand the improvements that surgery offers and the potential complications.
It is important to note that results vary, and perfection is not guaranteed. You can also ask questions about the procedure, recovery, and outcome to make an informed decision.
You should arrive at the consultation in Tampa prepared with questions about your concerns, what will happen during rhinoplasty surgery, and the recovery process. The following are some common questions we are asked about different aspects of the procedure.
Our surgeon can answer any and all questions in your consultation.
Rhinoplasty is a major cosmetic procedure that corrects a structural aspect your nose. This can address a variety of cosmetic and functional concerns, such as the overall size and width of the nose, correct any visible humps or depressions on the bridge of the nose, or refine the nasal tip if it is drooping or upturned.
This procedure may also correct a deviated septum, large turbinates, or nasal polyps that block the nasal passages. This helps improve airflow and breathing. Someone in Tampa may also book a rhinoplasty consultation because the surgery can help correct a congenital structural defect that they may have had since birth. Finally, some patients may consider a revision rhinoplasty, which fixes issues that resulted from past nose surgery.
You should decide on whether to have a rhinoplasty after you have all the information you need to understand the procedure, how it is done, the risks, and what to expect during recovery. We encourage you to call our office today and schedule your initial consultation for rhinoplasty in Tampa, so you get the information you need to make an informed decision.
