2008_top_cosmetic_proceduresFor the last few years, the number of plastic surgery performed has seen a dramatic increase.  The overwhelming amount of cosmetic surgeries performed since 1997 has increased by 300%.  In fact rhinoplasty has because one of the most sought after cosmetic surgical procedures in the last 10 years.  Why?  The rise in demand for rhinoplasty is due in part to the availability of media and the attention given to celebrities and their latest procedure.  Although once viewed as a luxury only available to the extremely wealthy several factors have combined to make rhinoplasty available to the masses. However surprising the 3 times increase in total cosmetic surgeries may be, it really should come as no surprise because of the common desire in all of us to want to look our best.  Don’t we all want to look younger, healthier, and more attractive?  With medical and technological breakthroughs, these rhinoplastic procedures are much safer, less invasive and less expensive than they once were.  This has the overall effect of making this form of cosmetic surgery available to the average person.  We all have parts of our body we are insecure about, however, in today’s world as opposed to times past, we can actually do something about it.

Rhinoplasty specifically has seen a rise in their demand as it offers a fast recovery and the ability to go back to work or school in about a week. The results are dramatic as the nose is the most prominent feature on anyone’s face. The cost for Rhinoplasty is reasonable since there is not usually a hospital stay required.  The costs are further reduced because general or local anesthetics are required.

It is commonly agreed upon by surgeons that rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult forms of plastic surgery.  Because the nose is central to all other facial features, it is important that the plastic surgeon get the procedure right so as to harmonize with all the other features.  Plastic surgeons will tell you that to accomplish this perfect harmony is both a science and an art.   Once achieved, it is difficult for others to put a finger on what exactly has changed, they just know you look great!
