GOLDEN, CO, March 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) If you are frustrated with the appearance of your nose, or feel that it simply doesn't fit your face, rhinoplasty can be a valuable solution. Rhinoplasty is a type of plastic surgery that is performed to alter the shape and structure of your nose. People seek out rhinoplasty for both cosmetic and functional reasons.
Cosmetic Problems With the Nose
Many different factors can affect the look of your nose. Some people are born with certain problems, while others suffered noise deformities after an accident or an injury. Some common cosmetic problems people have with their nose include:
- "Hook-nose"
- Bump on the nose
- Drooping nasal tip
- Crooked nose
- Overly large nose
Even slight changes in the nose's appearance can make a dramatic impact on the overall look of your face. All the same, rhinoplasty is a serious procedure that should be considered carefully if your concerns are purely cosmetic. Be sure to seek out an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and ask plenty of questions during your initial consultation to get a better idea of what to expect from the procedure, and how much a rhinoplasty can accomplish in your unique situation.
Functional Problems With the Nose
Not everyone looks to rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons alone. Some people have a deviated septum that compromises their breathing. If this is the case, your insurance may cover all or part of the cost of your rhinoplasty procedure.
A good plastic surgeon will thoroughly review your medical history to make sure you are a qualified candidate for rhinoplasty. If you smoke, quitting before surgery is incredibly important. Smoking interferes with your healing process, as it blocks proper blood flow to your skin. This can drastically affect your results.
The Rhinoplasty Procedure
Rhinoplasty is generally performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with IV sedation. Revision rhinoplasty may require general anesthesia, since it tends to be a more complex operation. Depending on the type of rhinoplasty that is being performed, the surgery itself takes anywhere from 1 to 3 hours to complete.
During a closed rhinoplasty procedure, your incision will be hidden inside of your nostrils. An open nose procedure requires an incision made in the small vertical strip of skin that separates your nostrils, called the columella. Your rhinoplasty surgeon will then raise up the soft tissues covering your nose in order to access the underlying structures and reshape them.
Rhinoplasty Recovery
After surgery, your surgeon will place a small splint on your nose to protect it and keep it stable. After at least five to eight days, this splint will be removed. You may also be given nasal packing inside of your nostrils to help minimize bleeding and swelling. This can be removed the morning after surgery.
Most patients are able to stop taking oral pain medication within two days of their rhinoplasty procedure. In the following weeks and months ahead, the swelling will gradually subside, and your final results will slowly become apparent as your nose assumes its new shape.

Patient Dumping
2012-03-22
Patient dumping occurs when a medically unstable patient is discharged due to financial reasons. Not only is patient dumping illegal, it is a form of medical negligence that can result in significant compensation for its victims.
In 1986, Congress passed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) requiring that every patient, regardless of their financial state, be provided with emergency care. EMTALA further states that no patient can be discharged until they have received full treatment within the scope of a hospital's abilities. Violations of EMTALA ...

What is a Brow Lift?
2012-03-22
As you age, gravity, genetics, and lifestyle choices can cause your brow to droop. The end result can be a constant look of tiredness, sternness, or anger. In addition, a drooping brow can make your eyebrows drop over your eyes, making your eyes look small, even mean at times. Because these unintentional facial expressions often do not match the personality of those they affect, many people as young as 30 have begun looking to plastic surgery for solutions.
The most common solution for a droopy forehead is a brow lift. A brow lift is exactly what it sounds like: a surgical ...
Correction of Breast Asymmetry
2012-03-22
Very few women are blessed with perfectly symmetrical breasts. In fact, breast asymmetry is more common than you might think. Approximately 10% of women have one breast that is significantly different in size or shape from the other. And as you age, this asymmetry may become more pronounced as the smaller breast remains relatively flat while the larger one grows in size due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Ultimately, this can increase sagging issues in the larger breast, further accentuating the asymmetry you experience.
If you are self conscious or embarrassed ...
Truckers Challenge Rule Designed to Ensure They Get Enough Rest
2012-03-22
Highway safety is important for everyone, and trucker alertness is a key component of highway safety. That's why for decades, the federal government has required truckers to keep track of the hours that they drive. These laws, governing Hours of Service (HOS) are designed to ensure truck drivers have sufficient time to sleep and therefore prevent driver fatigue, which is a significant cause of highway accidents.
The latest revisions to the HOS rules, however, have some truckers and trucking companies concerned, because they feel the rules keep drivers off the road too ...
In NY Capital, Property Owners, Residents Must Clear Sidewalks of Snow
2012-03-22
Though this winter has been the third least snowiest in upstate New York since 1884, Albany residents should not neglect their responsibility to clear sidewalks of snow and ice, especially after late-season freezes or snowfalls like the one that dumped almost nine inches over the city in early March. Failing to clear sidewalks after a storm puts pedestrians at risk and property owners vulnerable to personal injury lawsuits.
In Albany, property owners or residents must clear the snow and ice from all sidewalks adjacent to their properties within 24 hours after the end ...
Sentencing Realignment to Affect Prison Population
2012-03-22
Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor made his feelings known about Dr. Conrad Murray during his recent sentencing hearing. He appeared ready to send Dr. Murray to state prison for his actions surrounding the death of pop icon Michael Jackson. However, a new law prevented Pastor from handing down a prison sentence. Instead, Dr. Murray would spend the maximum time allowed under law in county jail.
The California legislature recently imposed new rules for sentencing non-violent, non-serious and non-sex-related offenses. Essentially, those convicted of such felonies would ...
Too Many Passengers and Teenage Car Accident Risk
2012-03-22
Birds of a similar feather do indeed tend to flock together. The old proverb can apply in many different contexts, but the basic meaning remains the same: people like to associate with other people who are like themselves. This can be a major problem when the "birds" in question are teenage drivers who are inclined to ignore rules about safe driving. Such drivers are the cause of many Chicago car accidents.
This article will discuss recent research findings that peer pressure is a main cause of accidents for teen drivers. Knowing more about why and how this ...
