Among the benefits of plastic surgery is giving second chances to restore or promote your natural beauty to even a better self. Besides enhancing your beauty, plastic surgery procedures can help correct different body defects by birth or due to injuries. Plastic surgery may involve different parts of your body, facial plastic surgery in Newport Beach being the most common. Suppose you are looking to have a facial plastic surgery procedure; here is what you should know.
What is facial plastic surgery?
It involves treatments to enhance and reconstruct facial features, including the neck, nose, head, ears, lips, or chin. Most facial appearance issues occur due to aging from the continued use of facial expressions making permanent changes. The other reason you might want facial plastic surgery is to correct the abnormal facial features that occur during birth, such as a birthmark or cleft lip.
Where to start?
If you have a mark from an injury or birth that you might want to correct, you may consider facial plastic surgery. But before any step, it is critical to consult with a certified plastic surgeon to discuss if you are eligible for the procedure. You might also want to consider the pros and cons of the treatment.
Meeting with your provider also helps tailor your treatment plan by identifying your treatment goals. In addition, your provider gives directions on what to expect during and after the procedure.
What are the different facial surgery procedures available?
Dr. Furze, an otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon, offers various procedures to help reshape your facial appearance, including:
Rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty procedure is among the top-rated plastic surgeries in the US. It involves the reconstruction of your nose to complement your facial appearance. The nose usually contributes to a significant part of your appearance.
A rhinoplasty helps improve your nose appearance by addressing the following issues:
· Crooked nose
· Uneven nostrils
· Too large or too small nose
· Wide nose base
· A droopy or large nose tip
· Bump on the nose ridge
Usually, your provider will work with you to study your nose and develop a specific treatment plan.
Septoplasty
It is a procedure to correct a deviated septum. Most Americans have a deviated septum, where their nostrils are in different sizes due to a crooked septum. Usually, the problem may not cause notable changes, but a deviated septum causes the following in severe cases.
· Headaches
· Difficulty breathing
· Postnasal drip
· Snoring
· Recurrent or chronic sinusitis
· Nosebleeds
· Facial pain
The severity depends on the degree of the condition.
The surgical procedure occurs under anesthesia and involves repositioning and straightening the nasal septum.
Like most surgical procedures, it is critical to follow the after-procedure instruction to enhance quick recovery.
· Taking medications as prescribed
· Avoiding blowing your nose for not less than a week
· Staying away from strenuous activities
· Applying cold compresses
· Placing your head in a higher position while sleeping
Recovery is different for everyone; however, you should see some improvements after a few months.
