So you've decided to have a nose job otherwise known as a
rhinoplasty. Before you decide to go forward there are a
few things you need to know about this common cosmetic
surgery procedure.

First of all, most nose jobs are considered to be elective
surgery, which means that it is not absolutely necessary.
This means that you need to be financially prepared for the
cost of the procedure as well as for the three days to two
weeks that you might need to recover from the operation. In
some countries such as Canada or Costa Rica a government
insurance program might cover the cost of the operation if
the surgery is deemed to be necessary medically.

There are very few situations under which a rhinoplasty is
considered to be medically necessarily in order to improve
an individual's quality of life. If you have a serious
accident that involves a direct blow to the face that
causes the shattering of nasal bones or the tearing of
nasal cartilage than your nose job will likely be
considered to be an emergency. This is also true if the
injury affects your ability to breathe in anyway.

Other conditions that

qualify as medical justifications to
have a nose job are a deviated septum, a birth defect or a
nasal obstruction. However surgeries to correct these
conditions are also considered elective. This means that
unless you are willing to pay a pretty penny for private
treatment you might be waiting for months to have your
surgery done in a hospital. If a doctor can also
demonstrate that an individual is suffering a serious and
prolonged mental or emotional illness (such as depression o
a cognitive disorder) as the result of an overly large or
asymmetrical nose then your case might be seen to more
urgently.

If your operation is for cosmetic reasons, you have to
know well advance what type of nose you would like. It is
very important at this stage not to have any fantasies
about looking like a contestant on the Swan or like your
favorite movie star. Be sure to consider everything that
your plastic surgeon tells you about the limitations and
possibilities that accompany the shaping of your new nose.

You may also be given a choice of operations. One
procedure is more invasive than another and although it

may
produce dramatic results the recuperative time is much
longer. Sometimes incisions are made on the outside rims of
the nostrils only. Other operations involve operating from
the inside only (therefore not leaving any scars) or
sometimes a combination of both techniques

Nose jobs are also almost always performed under general
anesthesia and painkillers and anti-inflammatory
medications are also given to patients to reduce pain and
swelling. The side effects of general anesthesia, including
such symptoms as memory loss, fogginess and fatigue can
last upwards of three months so make sure you have a
schedule that can accommodate these physical setback should
they occur.

If you need surgery to repair a broken nose, it is best to
seek medical attention straight away. Otherwise, the
swelling of the tissues can delay surgery for around five
days.
