When we think of surgery, we often cringe at the thought and we get sliced up. Sometimes we exaggerate to all the gory details and look at other possible options. For those who are still young, specifically teenagers, surgical interventions are often put off until later on in their twenties. Somehow non-surgical nose reshaping options are a good back up while you wait for the right time. One of the easiest and creative ways for you to shape your nose is done by using make-up techniques. The magic that make up has is limitless, and it only takes a simple shading and contouring in order to get that slimmer nasal structure. You can do this by using a darker shade of foundation than your skin tone at the side of your nose. For better application, I suggest that you use a slim brush and then you run it starting from the brow down to your nostril. And then with a lighter shade of foundation you use it for the bridge of your nose. You start it at the area between the eyebrows and then down to the tip of the nose. Make sure that you blend these colors well to create an overall natural effect. Another trick that will allow you to give better form to your nose is a nose splint. Originally these are used in order to maintain that form and shape of the nose immediately after rhinoplasty surgery. But today they can also be used as an alternative to the usual invasive procedure. By simply in inserting this flexible nose splint, it can immediately elongate the nose and give it better angulation. They come in various sizes that will fit the different nose shapes while at the same time providing better comfort to the wearer.

Is Laser Rhinoplasty Worth It? When it comes to innovation, we are stunned by all the improvements that are brought to the table, particularly when it comes to cosmetic surgery. Who would have thought that laser energy could also be used in with rhinoplasty? If this is something new to you, here are some interesting facts about laser rhinoplasty. Maybe you could find this appropriate for your case. Laser rhinoplasty is a non-surgical procedure that makes use of CO2 lasers to remove the excess thickness of the nasal skin and other deformities. It doesn’t necessarily re-shape the nose like the traditional rhinoplasty but rather it treats problems such as skin conditions affecting the area, skin discoloration due to acne, and in removing nasal scars. You might think that this isn’t really a real rhinoplasty when it actually doesn’t even require ay mechanical methods to change the shape and size of the nose. But did you know that there is a condition such as rhinophyma where the nose develops excess skin which can create a deformity? To effectively eliminate the excess skin without all the incisions and blood involved, a laser rhinoplasty is most helpful.
But even if the risks are significantly lesser compared to surgical rhinoplasty, there are also factors that need to be considered to determine your candidacy. You should be generally of good health, has realistic expectations about the procedure and you should be free from any vices, such as smoking, which could complicate the outcome. Laser rhinoplasty is also not advised on patients who are diabetic or those who have clotting disorders. Those who had just gotten their tan are also advised to wait a couple of weeks before going into this procedure. The CO2 laser works by creating superficial damage to the nasal skin as the beam is focused on the target area. With the introduction of a local anesthesia, you will only be able to feel warm and tingly sensation. The type of damaged that happens here is very minimal focusing only on the superficial layers. It will just be enough to create a more facially appropriate nasal form. As the nose heals for the next few days, the damaged skin will soon start to shed off revealing a smoother skin underneath. And during this sensitive period of healing, it is important that you avoid sun exposure if you don’t want to risk your nose from getting discolored. Generally, the healing time is much lesser and a postoperative care regimen isn’t even necessary. But to ensure that your nose is much protected as it heals, it is just like taking care of a sunburned skin. Avoid unnecessary touching and do not rub or scrub if you observe it to be peeling off. The usual cost of laser rhinoplasty is around $2,000 to $3,000, and because FDA (Food and Drug Administration) classified this to be a cosmetic surgery and not something for medical purposes. This is the reason why it is not covered by insurance providers. Laser rhinoplasty can also be done together with surgical rhinoplasty to create better results. But a thorough discussion with your surgeon can help to determine what steps can give you the best results.

Nose Job One particular cosmetic procedure that has been gaining a lot of buzz is the 15minute nose job. It is created to provide a quicker way to improve the nose without having to make an inch of incision. Usually a nose job or what is also known as rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that requires manipulation of either/both of the nasal structures. This is done to improve the appearance of the nose or to correct deformities. Rhinoplasty has been the common procedure that has been performed in the United States along with breast implants, liposuction and tummy tucks. In fact it remains to be one of the usual enhancements done and often denied by most celebrities. The popularity of this procedure steadily increases since the nose is one of the prominent features of the face and surprisingly so many finds it not proportionate to their features. This is the reason why studies and techniques have been created to deliver the best natural-looking results.
Despite its constant success, the drawback to this surgical procedure is that the invasiveness requires a significant length of downtime to fully recuperate. This is why recent developments lead to create measures that are less prone to disturbing skin integrity. Hence the 15-minute nose job. Some might probably raise eyebrows at the name knowing that it takes more than just minutes to really get the right nasal shape. Surgeons have to do numerous procedures and trainings to earn the skill and that level of expertise, so how is it that all of a sudden here is something that can replace all that? But the name is simply just to attract attention. The 15-minute nose job, is not really a replacement for nose surgery because, first of all it is not a surgical process. It improves the shape and size of the nose by using injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Botox or Artefill. There are no incisions, bone reshaping, or sutures, all it takes is a simple injection to give your nose the shape and definition that it needs. In just a matter of minutes the entire procedure can be done without any downtime. In fact you will be fully awake for the entire process and can even view it in a mirror that will also be provided for you. The 15-minute nose job cannot be a permanent solution compared to surgical nose jobs. Since fillers eventually dissolve, they need to be retouched time and again. But just as rhinoplasty needs the careful manipulation and expert skills of the surgeon, 15-minute nose jobs also require the good aesthetic judgment of the surgeon. The right amount and proper placement is very important. These 15-minute nose jobs are not so bad; in fact it is cheaper compared to nose job cost. But they just need to be redone to maintain the results. They are perfect for individuals who only needs minor repair and not those who require structural changes to repair difficulty in breathing. These cases would need a more invasive reconstruction through rhinoplasty.
