If you’re dissatisfied with the size or shape of your nose, you are not alone. According to recent statistics, rhinoplasty surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries. Before your surgical consultation, look below to learn interesting facts about this procedure.
Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, was among the top five cosmetic surgical procedures in 2010, according to the latest statistics reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In fact, plastic surgeons performed more than 250,000 rhinoplasty surgeries in the United States in 2010.
1. Rhinoplasty Is Incredibly Customizable
Before your cosmetic surgeon begins your rhinoplasty surgery, his staff will clean and sterilize your face to prevent infection. Then, your plastic surgeon will make the necessary incisions in your nasal cavity in order to alter the size and shape of the nose to your preferred specifications. The surgeon will excise nasal bone to create a svelte look or remove nasal tissue to reduce the width or length of your nose. In some cases, the surgeon may add tissue or medical-grade materials to build a nasal bridge.
There are two main rhinoplasty techniques—open and closed rhinoplasty. These approaches use different incision methods and have varying advantages in terms of site visibility, maneuverability of the tissues, precision, and scarring. Your surgeon will choose which method to use based on the extent of work to be performed.
2. Rhinoplasty Was First Performed Over 100 Years Ago
Dr. Jacques Joseph is credited as the father of facial plastic surgery. In 1898, Joseph performed his second facial plastic procedure on a 28-year-old man who was incredibly self-conscious about his large nose and wished to reduce its size. Joseph reported his achievement to the Berlin Medical Society and continued to campaign for the psychological importance of aesthetic surgery. Over the following decades, rhinoplasty methods have continued to advance and improve the lives of many patients.

The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reports that an average of 1,000 facial cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures were performed per plastic surgeon in 2011. The most popular cosmetic surgical procedures among these included rhinoplasty, facelift, forehead lift, and eyelid surgery.
If you would like to join the thousands of men and women who are already scheduled for facial rejuvenation surgeries in 2012, take a look below to see if the following procedures are right for you.
1. Eyelid Surgery
For many men and women, the area surrounding the eyes is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Consequently, many patients undergo eyelid surgery to remove excess skin and fat that can make them appear tired or much older. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can typically be performed in just a few short hours under light anesthesia, using only small incisions. Patients usually report minimal, if any, scarring.
2. Facelift
The facelift procedure was designed to tighten sagging skin and smooth out wrinkles in order to improve signs of facial aging. During the procedure, a plastic surgeon creates an inconspicuous incision above the hairline and in the natural fold in front of the ear so that any scarring is hidden. The surgeon then loosens the facial skin from the underlying fat and muscle so that he can manipulate and re-drape the skin, creating a smoother appearance.
3. Forehead Lift
The forehead lift procedure was designed for patients who have deep forehead furrows but don’t want to undergo a traditional facelift. This outpatient procedure is less invasive than other cosmetic facial surgeries and can create a soft, smooth, and rejuvenated look. Most patients who opt for the forehead lift procedure should expect to experience some temporary numbness, bruising, inflammation, and itching. However, most can resume normal activities in just one to two weeks.
