Well unlike some cosmetic procedures Rhinoplasty is a permanent change. (Barring accident or injury of course.) There are a few keys to getting the best results though. Some of it depends on your specific genes and body composition as those certainly play a role in the speed of your healing.
Outside of the gene pool, your personal outlook has a huge effect on your expectations and your happiness with the results of the surgery. Having realistic expectations for how your body will heal and look after healing will greatly contribute to your overall happiness with the procedure. That being said the Rhinoplasty procedures that are being performed today are more accurate, predictable and effective than any other time in history. If it’s something you’ve been considering, it’s worth it to make the call, to hear about your options.
