Improvements In Rhinoplasty Procedures Mean More Patients Are Receiving The Procedure

Online, October 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Rhinoplasty, the procedure frequently referred to as a "nose job", harkens back to ancient India, but has gained modern fame and popularity thanks to our most beloved film and music stars. Most rhinoplasty procedures usually involve the surgical reshaping the structures of the skin, bones, cartilage and nasal passages of the nose.

Modern rhinoplasty procedures have also gained an increase in popularity for a variety of reasons outside of the aesthetic. The procedure has become so common that over 130,000 people reportedly undergo a rhinoplasty procedure every year. With amazing results and short recovery times, people have less issues with going under the knife to have the nose they've always wanted. That number continues to grow as the technologies and practice behind rhinoplasty continue to improve.

New research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania indicates that the modern techniques that are used in rhinoplasty surgeries are showing major improvements to patients' quality of life when compare to the older techniques that were once used.

Older procedures were generally focused on sculpting noses and ignored the functional needs of the patient. The patient was left with poor cosmetic outcomes and degrading functionalities over time.

Newer rhinoplasty techniques mean significant cosmetic improvements for patients and improved breathing postoperatively. These newer techniques can continue to help the improvement of future rhinoplasty procedures without having to compromise one outcome for another.
