What To Consider Before Getting a Lockdown Nose Job

Cosmetic Surgeon Mr Alex Karidis is one of the UK's most and respected Cosmetic .

Last year, the Zoom Boom phenomenon prompted a surge in demand for , also known as - as people were spending more time than ever scrutinising their faces due to regular attendance on video calls. Virtual conversations differ from in-person meetings, as you can see while you talk, attention can be drawn to your own via reflections that may appear low-quality or unflattering.

As we continue to conduct our professional lives remotely, the interest in rhinoplasties is still on the increase and far from fizzling out. As the new year brings change and many of us are restricted to the confines of our homes, we are still looking for ways we can improve ourselves and our . The fact that we are working from home allows us to do this discreetly.

According to Google search data, there remains an active curiosity for the procedure, which has increased by 75% in the UK year on year, with peaks in searches at their highest over Christmas and in the first week of January.

With rhinoplasties on the rise, I decided to weigh in on the trend and procedure, and to share further insight into the which need to be addressed before submitting to the scalpel for those considering a nose job this year.

Rhinoplasty creates a more pleasing nasal appearance, and is one of the most common surgical procedures. The procedure can also be used to correct breathing impairments and nasal traumas, such as a broken nose.

Performed under general anaesthesia, the procedure itself is usually through small incisions made inside the nostrils. Having lifted the skin from the cartilage and bone, any undesired bumps are removed using a special chisel and the nasal bridge is narrowed.

If breathing difficulties are being corrected, the septum will be adjusted. Also, the shape of the nasal tip is altered using internal stitches or existing cartilage, in order to keep the new profile in proportion.

The reshaping is followed by a placement of dissolvable stitches and nasal packs in the nostrils to control bleeding and aid healing. Finally, a plaster cast is placed over the bridge of the nose in order to protect the area from infection and support recovery.

There are a range of concerns that people might have which could lead them to consider rhinoplasty, a common one being a humped nose that has a bump on the bridge, which can be smoothed out by the procedure.

It is also common to have concerns about a nose that is not positioned straight or centrally on the face, whether it is the result of genetics, an accident, or an illness. In this case, rhinoplasty surgery can correct this by producing a more symmetrical appearance.

Other reasons include noses that look either too large compared to the rest of the facial features, or too small, as well as a misshapen nose tip or overly large nostrils.

The nose is the facial feature that we’re most likely to inherit from our parents, and the central position of the nose means that even slight asymmetry or disproportion can affect the harmony of someone’s profile. With people more elegant and symmetrical features, a can help restore this.

For those who are in overall good health, have taken the time to understand the procedure and manage expectations, and have a legitimate concern about the aesthetics of their nose, there shouldn’t be much preventing them from having .

However, it is important to bear in mind that there are situations in which risks do the when it comes to rhinoplasty. These include:

The procedure can take anywhere between around 1½-3 hours. The exact timing depends on whether there are only minimal being carried out, or more extensive changes. Different surgeons may operate in slightly different ways, and timing can also be impacted by the efficiency of their team of nurses and anesthesiologists.

It is recommended that patients take at least 2 weeks off work following the procedure, in order to allow for recovery time. Going on walks can help reduce and the chance of blood clots, and avoidance of using makeup on your incisions as well as applying antibiotic ointment can contribute to a smooth recovery process.

You can expect to see the initial results within 3 weeks once swelling and bruising have minimized. After this, the of your nose will continue to improve within 6 months. However, full healing can take up to one year, when the final results of a rhinoplasty come into .

There are numerous ways to conduct rhinoplasty surgery, and the surgeon will decide which one is best for the patient depending on many factors, such as their shape and their desired outcome.

The least invasive type is a
