Your purchase of this book is the first step in having a confident
and clear understanding of the cosmetic surgery you may be
considering. The questions, expectations and recommendations
contained in this book will be vital to your outcome. This book
will give insight into the realities of cosmetic surgery, reasons
you may or may not choose to have surgery at all and secrets for a
successful recovery. The decision to have cosmetic surgery is a
serious one and should not be made hastily. Review this book a
number of times. Highlight sections or dog-ear pages and take this
along to your consultation so you can remember all the questions
you want to ask your surgeon. Remember, the more information you
have, the more prepared both you and your surgeon will be prior to
surgery. Every year, half a million people who are interested in
improving the appearance of their noses seek consultation with
facial plastic surgeons. Some are unhappy with the noses they were
born with, and some with the way aging has changed their nose. For
others, an injury may have distorted the nose, or the goal may be
improved breathing. But one fact is clear: Nothing has a greater
impact on how a person looks than the size and shape of the nose.
Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face,
even a slight alteration can greatly improve one's appearance. The
definition of rhinoplasty is, literally, reshaping the nose. The
etymology of the English word of rhinoplasty is derived from the
greek prefix rhino meaning nose, and plasty defined as a surgical
procedure for the repair or restoration of a body part. If you have
wondered how nose surgery, or rhinoplasty, could improve your
looks, self-confidence, or health, you need to know how rhinoplasty
is performed and what you can expect. No book can allay all your
concerns, but this one can provide answers for many of the
questions you may have. Successful facial plastic surgery is a
result of good rapport between patient and surgeon. Trust, based on
realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise, develops in
the consulting stages before surgery. Your surgeon can answer, and
should be willing to, specific questions about your unique needs.
