Nose surgery, one of the most requested procedures. Cosmetic
surgery can now achieve a variety of permanent improvements.
It can be performed to shorten, narrow or straighten the
nose.It can reduce or eliminate a hump on the bridge, or
change the angle between the nose and upper lip.
The procedure can bring flaring nostrils or the base of the
nose closer together. Sometimes surgery is performed solely
to reshape a tip that is too big, too long, or sagging.
Also possible, though less common, is surgery to lengthen
the nose or to build up the bridge.
Of course, not all nose surgery is cosmetic in nature.
It can be done to improve a physical problem resulting from
injury or a birth defect.
A broken nose or blocked nasal passages, for example, may
require surgery to restore normal function.
Septoplasty (repair of a deviated septum) and turbinectomy
(full or partial removal of nasal passage filters which have
become enlarged and interfere with normal breathing) are two
commonly performed noncosmetic nose operations.
When viewed as medically necessary, this type of surgery may
be covered by health insurance.
Many persons have it performed at the same time as cosmetic
surgery to help reduce their out-of-pocket costs.
