The word Rhinoplasty originates from two Greek words: rhinos and plastikos. Rhinos means nose in Greek and plastikos means ‘to shape’. Rhinoplasty (Nasal surgery) is the most common form of plastic surgery practiced in America today. This type of plastic surgery is implied to improve the look and its function of the nose. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty makes the nose more beautiful and is referred to as reconstructive Rhinoplasty.

It helps to change the overall appearance of the face from the nose to towards the eyes- a more natural, pleasing occurrence. Rhinoplasty surgery, when performed correctly, it improves the harmony of the facial features. According medical history the first known of successful rhinoplasty was in 600 B.C. in India. An Indian surgeon named Sushata Samgita used surgery and skin reconstructions to improve the shape of noses that had been injured or cut off. By surgically reshaping noses and transplanting skin, Sushata Samgita made it possible for convicts to get a fresh start and live a life where they were not stigmatized by their previous conviction.

The cosmetic Rhinoplasty is commonly used today to make adjustment on a concave nose profile or make the overall nose appearance smoother. It helps to make noses smaller, change their shape, lift up the nose tip, and get rid of a humpback nose. However the common reason behind Rhinoplasty is fashion, injuries and birth defects. If the nose has been damaged by physical trauma, the Rhinoplasty surgery may be more intensive than a mere straightening or reduction and may involve an area wider than the nose to fully reconstruct the damage.

Rhinoplasty surgery is both a science and an art because any plastic surgery is a delicate, complex undertaking and does not get in to action without thorough investigation. There is a vivid conversation between a doctor and a patient before doctor is going to accomplish fulfilling patient’s request. More over a plastic surgeon has to be competent and have artistic talent. A successful Rhinoplasty requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the various functions carried out by the human nose. All the different parts of the nose serve specific purposes and a skilled Rhinoplasty surgeon will know how to reshape a nose without harming any of these important functions.

Chiefly to say by experts, Rhinoplasty is different from the other surgical procedure used to repair a deviated septum to improve a patient’s breathing. Repairing one’s nose to improve aesthetic appearance and surgery performed on a deviated septum to improve breathing and air flow into the lungs are completely different procedures. In the case of many rhinoplastic surgeries, the complete operation can be performed without any external incisions. And furthermore, Rhinoplasty can be performed under local anaesthetic, but sedation is also very common. Being sedated for 0.5-2 hours is common during Rhinoplasty and after this you will typically have to spend eight hours in bed.
