Orange County Nose and Sinus Center

There is little argument that the nose is one of the defining features of your face and can often be a source of dissatisfaction. In addition to functional problems that arise with a crooked or misshapen nose, a face that presents asymmetries can cause chronic self-esteem problems. For this reason, an aesthetic nose job can have a positive impact, dramatically increasing the patient’s self confidence.

Aside from the proven and self-evident psychological benefits of plastic surgery, a successful rhinoplasty can also have several functional benefits as well. A nose job has helped people correct breathing problems and cleared up other respiratory complications caused by structural nasal abnormalities. Nose jobs performed to improve functionality seek to open constricted nasal passages and can even help with sinus headaches.

Of course, a primary goal of an Orange County rhinoplasty is to restore facial symmetry. Most people really want a perfectly shaped nose and the physical benefits of a nose job are sometimes secondary in the decision process. As much as it is a science, it is also every bit an art and aims to bring out the patient’s natural beauty by improving facial shape and proportion.

Whether art or science, the physical benefits of a successful nose job procedure include the following:

• Improvement of size and contour: the lines and size of the patient's nose are enhanced to a symmetrical proportion with the face as a whole, leading to a more pleasing aesthetic profile
• Enhanced respiratory function: clearing of nasal passages improves airflow
• Alteration of the nose’s dimensions: nasal aberrations can be corrected at the bridge and tip by removing dorsal humps or depressions
• Alleviation of snoring: a structural correction of a deviated septum can mitigate chronic and severe snoring problems

While many people know about the pleasing visual presentation of the face after a successful nose job, the physical benefits can often be more pronounced!

Regarding cosmetic surgery, there are a lot of ways to look younger. Most people will consider a facelift or even liposuction in a search for a more youthful appearance. However, a new study has revealed that an Orange County rhinoplasty can also make patients look younger.

According to a recent cosmetic surgical study, nose jobs can indeed improve the look of aging on a patient’s face. During the contouring and reshaping process, natural symmetries are achieved between the nose, eyes and even forehead; even when there is no surgery performed on areas other than the nose.

Many people suffer from a stuffy nose and the causes are wide and varied. Some people suffer from seasonal rhinitis, also known as hay fever, and others may simply have swollen mucus membranes. However, most people do not think that the effects of aging may be to blame for a chronic stuffy nose. When, in fact, aging is a fairly common cause of nasal stuffiness caused by an obstruction. As the parts of the face start to age, cartilage structures in the nose begin to weaken and droop. Basically, gravity causes the internal walls of the nose to collapse inward, which results in obstructing normal air flow.

Nowhere is the degree of attractiveness more important than in Southern California’s famed Orange County. A-Listers flock to the Beach Communities in order to have the best in rhinoplasty procedures. It has long been held that nose jobs can make people look more attractive. Now, there is hard data to back those claims up.
