subject: Rhinoplasty - Gaining Self-confidence [print this page] Being self-confident is difficult for some people. They find it hard to look past what may be considered a shortcoming. Cosmetic surgery can change how many of these people view themselves and give them the self-confidence they need. Probably the most popular form of cosmetic surgery in the United States today is rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty is when you have your nose altered in such a way that it looks more proportional to your face. For many people their biggest hang up about the way they look is their nose. It makes sense when you think about what one of the most noticed aspects of your body is your nose. If it is an odd shape, crooked or just way too big for the size and shape of your face it can be embarrassing for some people. It's hard to be confident about yourself if everyone is always staring at your nose.
Like most cosmetic surgeries this type of procedure is not usually covered by your insurance. So if you decide to have rhinoplasty you can look to foot the bill yourself. The costs will vary depending on the certification level and experience of your doctor but between what you'll pay for the doctor, the anesthesiologist, and the hospital you can look at paying anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000. This is a cost that you need to be aware of. For many though, they feel that it is well worth the cost.
Like with all cosmetic surgeries you should be sure this is something you want to do for you. You shouldn't have a rhinoplasty because someone else tells you, you need one. That is aside from medical reasons, of course. You will not be able to appreciate the new complement if you feel that you were forced into it.
If, however, your nose is a problem for you then you might want to consider this procedure. Nothing can be more unnerving that to have someone stare at you nose. You become self-conscious and worry that no one is paying attention to you, just your proboscis. Reducing the size or having it reshaped to fit your face might be the best option. Once that is done, then you won't have to worry about people staring at just your nose, they'll be seeing all of you.
Rhinoplasty can give you something you may never have had before. You will be able to gain that self-confidence that you wouldn't be able to get on your own.
