They Aren’t That Popular
Rhinoplasties are among some of the most popular surgeries performed worldwide. In fact, over 200,000 procedures were performed in the United States alone in 2018, with data suggesting that number to increase.
Rhinoplasty Is Only a Cosmetic Procedure
Did you know that rhinoplasties have tremendous functional applications as well? They can correct defects from injuries, such as misshapen noses. A rhinoplasty can also affect issues with breathing due to narrow or collapsed nasal passages.
Often, individuals can find significant relief for those suffering from severe issues such as deviated septums. To determine if you can benefit from a rhinoplasty for your nasal problems, speak to your doctor.
The Procedure Is Never Covered by Insurance
As rhinoplasties can potentially address urgent physical impairments, there are instances in which your insurance provider can cover them. Make sure you speak with your insurance and a doctor to understand what benefit you may receive after undergoing a rhinoplasty.
You Can Get One at Any Age
According to some researchers, your nose continues to grow until you are 12 for females and 15 for males.. Waiting for a rhinoplasty until your facial growth ceases is generally recommended. Undergoing a rhinoplasty while growth is still occurring can alter your results.
Work with a trained specialist to know if you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty.
