A nose job, medically known as rhinoplasty, is one of the most difficult of all cosmetic surgery procedures because it is usually performed from the inside.  It also can also have some of the most unpredictable results because so many aspects have to work well together—the nose must remain functional (after all, you have to breathe!) and the bone, cartilage, tissue and skin must all heal well together to produce the desired shape.  Due to these factors, one in five patients do end up having some type of revision or follow-up surgery to the initial nose job.

In 2006, more than 141,912 people had their noses reshaped.

A nose job was the first cosmetic surgery I ever had done at age 22, and I have never regretted it! I started out with a wide, flat nose that really did not flatter the rest of my face. When I began working as a model, my agent recommended I have the procedure, and I began the research that would eventually launch my consulting career.  From experience, one thing I want to caution all patients to remember is that it takes quite a while (up to 18 months) to see the final results and have your new nose revealed—but believe me, it’s worth being patient!

Always remember, any surgical procedure carries risks, so be an informed patient!
