My family has pretty big noses, but the difference is for them, it works with there facial features. I'm 17 and my nose isn't bumpy, it's straight. The problem is it's very WIDE at the bottom and I don't think it goes with my features. My lips are small, my eyes are small, and im not a large kid. I don't understand why my nose is so unproportional. I want to be a actor someday and I don't think ill get to if my nose looks so bad. I feel if my nose was smaller i'd look good. Help? :(
I do not feel your nose looks extremely large for the rest of your facial features, except at the nasal base. From your photogrphs it appears that you have thick skin and this is responsible for the wide apperance of your nasal base. It is possible to narrow the base of your nose slightly, but the surgery must be done with caution as an overly narrowed nasal base looks ridiculous and is very difficult to correct. Make sure you see a plastic surgeon who is very experienced in rhinoplasty surgery.
What are average rhinoplasty cost? Does the price of a nose job vary by state like some other plastic surgeries?
The fees for rhinoplasty vary depending on the complexity of the case. Rhinoplasty is the one of the most complex operations performed by plastic surgeons and with the increased complexity of the rhinoplasty comes the cost variation. A primary rhinoplasty will be less expensive than a revision rhinoplasty, and a septorhinoplasty to correct breathing difficulties will also be more costly. This in part is due to the increase in operating room time and subsequent increase OR and anesthesia fees. The average surgeons fee for a primary rhinoplasty in the DC area is around $6500 to $8000, this does not include the operating room or anesthesia fees. If you have a deviated septum with breathing difficulties your insurance may cover a portion of the procedure.
Most importantly make sure your surgeons is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Otolaryngology and performs rhinoplastys frequently.
I just has a septoplasty and rhinoplasty yesterday and have had to cough a lot. In addition, I'm feeling lots of congestion and have been fighting off sneezes. What can I do to minimize coughing and sneezing? What happens if I do?
Coughing, sneezing, or congestion is common after rhinoplasty, especially right after surgery. Most plastic surgeons don't want their patients to blow their nose too hard and try to minimize coughing and sneezing. Severe coughing or nose-blowing may cause more bleeding or bruising, for example. An over-the-counter antihistamine, cough suppressant, or mucous thinner may possibly help alleviate the symptoms. However, you should speak with your rhinoplasty surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you.
