There are plenty of reasons people consider rhinoplasty. Some want to soften a bump, refine the tip, or create balance between their nose and the rest of their face. Others may have breathing problems caused by a deviated septum or past injury. For many, it’s a mix of both.
At Luxurgery on Fifth Avenue in New York City, Dr. Sachin M. Shridharani will help you figure out if nose surgery makes sense for your needs. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience performing aesthetic and reconstructive facial procedures.
Ideal Candidates for Rhinoplasty
Whatever the reason for considering a nose job, it often comes down to wanting to feel more at ease with how you look or feel on a daily basis.
If that resonates with you, here’s what typically makes someone a good match for rhinoplasty:
- You’re in good health
- Your facial features are fully developed (typically 18 or older)
- You don’t smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery
- You understand what rhinoplasty can and cannot accomplish
- You have realistic expectations about results and recovery
- You’re emotionally prepared for the process
- You’re choosing the procedure for your own goals, not to meet someone else’s expectations
- You have a clear idea of what you’d like to improve about your nose
You don’t need to have it all figured out right now. A lot of people come into this process knowing what they want to change, but unsure of how it will all come together. That’s completely normal. The important thing is that the decision comes from you and that it feels right for where you are in your life.
The Value of a One-on-One Consultation
No two noses are the same, and the best way to know if you’re a candidate is to meet with Dr. Shridharani. During your one-on-one consultation, you’ll have the space to talk through any concerns.
The goal of rhinoplasty isn’t to change your face to the point of being unrecognizable. We just want to refine what’s already there in a way that still feels like you. Call 212-508-0000 to schedule your visit to Luxurgery in NYC and begin the process.
