When Should I Look into a Nose Job?

Rhinoplasty can be used to correct cosmetic concerns as well as improve your ability to breathe through the nose. Could you be a candidate for this type of procedure? If any of the following apply to you, looking into a nose job is worth your time. At Cosmetic Surgery of DFW, Dustin C. Derrick, MD offers rhinoplasty and Mommy Makeovers in Fort Worth, TX.

You’ve Been in an Accident

If a recent accident did damage to your face — and to your nose in particular — it’s not just about restoring appearance, but also function. A nose job can accomplish both goals and help you get on with your life without a constant reminder of that accident.

You’re Not Breathing as Easily as You Should

Perhaps a minor structural defect has always made it harder to breathe through your nose, causing you to breathe through your mouth more than you’d like. Choosing to have a nose job can correct the physical issue interfering with your breathing. In many cases the procedure takes only a few hours, and once healing is complete you’ll appreciate how much easier it is to breathe.

You’re Not Happy with the Shape or Size of Your Nose

Maybe you’ve simply never liked your nose — you just wish it were shaped a little differently or more in proportion with the rest of your features. The dimensions of your nose can be changed without a lot of difficulty, whether it seems a little too large or too small, so it blends in nicely with the rest of your face.

Whatever your reasons, it’s time to learn more about what a nose job can do for you. After an examination at Cosmetic Surgery of DFW, we’ll discuss what rhinoplasty will and will not do for you so you can decide if it’s a procedure you want to pursue.
