Rhinoplasty/Nose Job 　

Rhinoplasty is generally an outpatient procedure that can be performed in a hospital, ambulatory surgical facility or an in-office surgical suite. It requires either local anesthesia with IV sedation or general anesthesia. An overnight stay in the hospital or a special recovery facility may be recommended. You can request either option if it will make you feel more comfortable.

Pre-operation	Post-operation

Each year in America, more than two hundred thousand Americans decide to change the shape of their noses, and in the near future this number could double. In China,more and more people would like to do the same thing.

The rhinoplasty or "nose job" is the most commonly done cosmetic procedure. While there is little risk for the patient, it demands a high degree of surgical skill for two very important reasons.

First, the nose is easily the most prominent feature on the human face. Regardless of which direction we are viewed from-above, below, head-on, or profile--it's always the center of attention. So any change will affect the appearance of the entire face.

Second, the operative technique is extremely demanding, and it's difficult to do well. Inside, the nose is supported by a delicate framework of small bones and resilient cartilage. Even a tiny miscalculation on the part of the surgeon can lead to unsatisfactory results.

In fact, some doctors never learn to do it properly, as evidenced by the unhappy patients whose noses have obviously been "done". Some people think that they can recognize every nose job, but in reality, they can only tell the ones that are bad. With surgery it is certainly possible to create a beautiful and normal nose.

A top plastic surgeon must be able to do more than one kind of nose. He has to be proficient at changing a nose to fit the individual face. If you can look at someone and know which doctor did his nose, be wary that a particular type of nose might be attractive on one face, but not necessarily on yours.The surgeon have to design a particular nose according to your feature of face.

It takes a great deal of experience to effect good nose changes. Even a surgeon with extraordinary skill has to know what you want before he can comply, so be sure to discuss your expectations in the consultation.
