Rhinoplasty - What To Expect During Surgery
Rhinoplasty is not a "one size fits all" surgery-it's a surgery which is custom tailored to your situation. There are different reasons to get Rhinoplasty: To correct birth defects, injuries, breathing problems, or for cosmetic reasons. Every person is different, and that means that both the starting point and ending point for Rhinoplasty are unique to each person, so you'll need to meet your surgeon for a Rhinoplasty consultation.
During your consultation, the surgeon will discuss your goals with you, and the look you want for your nose. The surgeon will also offer his own opinions based on the structure of your face and the type of skin you have. The characteristics which you start with can influence the end result, so it's important for you to learn the details before you commit to Rhinoplasty.
This is also the point where you should communicate details of your medical history to your surgeon, including whether you've had past surgeries or injuries to your nose, and whether you have allergies, breathing defects, or a history of drug use or smoking. If you are on any medications or are taking any herbal supplements, you should tell your surgeon at this time. This is also a good point for you to ask questions if you have them, and also to discuss anesthesia options with your surgeon.
Check to see if your insurance covers your procedure before you commit. If you need Rhinoplasty for breathing problems or other practical concerns, there's a good chance you'll be covered. If it's for cosmetic purposes though, you probably won't be. In this case, one way to save money on Rhinoplasty is to consider the option of medical tourism for treatment. Traveling through medical tourism to get Rhinoplasty or other procedures can save you as much as 90% or more of your surgery bill.
At first I was concerned about having a rhinoplasty procedure through medical tourism, but the service was top notch and I'd recommend it to anyone.
