Who Nose?

Not everyone is blessed with a nose he or she can be happy with. Symmetry demands that noses be normal-sized (not too big, not too small), nopt too pointed or rounded, and do not call attention to its shape, size, or the nostrils.

Until plastic surgery became a full-fledged medical field, (with doctors specializing in specific body parts) people were stuck with the features that they were born with, whether they were features which were personally pleasing to them or not. If plastic surgery had been around when Cyrano de Bergerac was, then he wouldnt have had to be stuck with his appearance until the day he died.

Today, people can have the nose that they desire and they can look like anyone they want to look like, thanks to plastic surgery.

The word plastic in plastic surgery doesnt refer to the material used for making cups and straws. Rather, it came from the Latin word plasticus relating to molding, and the Greek word plastikos, from the word plassein, which means to form.

A lot of people want to know more about the consequences of a nose job. Los Angeles has numerous doctors who perform rhinoplasty, it being a city known for putting a high premium on looks, especially in Hollywood. A Forbes magazine research conducted a few years ago states that there are 4.1 plastic surgeons for every 100,000 people in the city, or a total of 384 plastic surgeons. The total number of plastic surgeons may have risen today, but the plastic surgeon-to-population ratio remains the same today.

A nose job (Los Angeles) needs to be carefully considered. One must scrutinize the credentials of the rhinoplasty surgeon. One must also consider the cost of the procedure in monetary and other terms, including psychological costs. One must consider the benefits and compare them with the costs. One must take the healing time into account. A rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure and is a serious one.

Facial reconstruction for health purposes present reasons for considering a nose job. Los Angeles doctors say that people born with chronic breathing problems due to having tiny nostrils must look into the possibility of rhinoplasty relieving them of the difficulties related to their condition.
