So you\ve decided to have a nose job otherwise known as arhinoplasty. Before you decide to go forward there are afew things you need to know about this common cosmeticsurgery procedure.First of all, most nose jobs are considered to be electivesurgery, which means that it is not absolutely necessary.This means that you need to be financially prepared for thecost of the procedure as well as for the three days to twoweeks that you might need to recover from the operation. Insome countries such as Canada or Costa Rica a governmentinsurance program might cover the cost of the operation ifthe surgery is deemed to be necessary medically.There are very few situations under which a rhinoplasty isconsidered to be medically necessarily in order to improvean individual\s quality of life. If you have a seriousaccident that involves a direct blow to the face thatcauses the shattering of nasal bones or the tearing ofnasal cartilage than your nose job will likely beconsidered to be an emergency. This is also true if theinjury affects your ability to breathe in anyway.Other conditions that qualify as medical justifications tohave a nose job are a deviated septum, a birth defect or anasal obstruction. However surgeries to correct theseconditions are also considered elective. This means thatunless you are willing to pay a pretty penny for privatetreatment you might be waiting for months to have yoursurgery done in a hospital. If a doctor can alsodemonstrate that an individual is suffering a serious andprolonged mental or emotional illness (such as depression oa cognitive disorder) as the result of an overly large orasymmetrical nose then your case might be seen to moreurgently. If your operation is for cosmetic reasons, you have toknow well advance what type of nose you would like. It isvery important at this stage not to have any fantasiesabout looking like a contestant on the Swan or like yourfavorite movie star. Be sure to consider everything thatyour plastic surgeon tells you about the limitations andpossibilities that accompany the shaping of your new nose. You may also be given a choice of operations. Oneprocedure is more invasive than another and although it mayproduce dramatic results the recuperative time is muchlonger. Sometimes incisions are made on the outside rims ofthe nostrils only. Other operations involve operating fromthe inside only (therefore not leaving any scars) orsometimes a combination of both techniquesNose jobs are also almost always performed under generalanesthesia and painkillers and anti-inflammatorymedications are also given to patients to reduce pain andswelling. The side effects of general anesthesia, includingsuch symptoms as memory loss, fogginess and fatigue canlast upwards of three months so make sure you have aschedule that can accommodate these physical setback shouldthey occur.If you need surgery to repair a broken nose, it is best toseek medical attention straight away. Otherwise, theswelling of the tissues can delay surgery for around fivedays.*******(c) 2005 Kelly Altodona - All Rights ReservedKelly Altodona is a cosmetic surgery freelance author.http://www.CosmeticSurgeryLinks.com*******
