Rhinoplasty surgery is also called a facial or nose reconstruction surgery. This type of surgery reconstructs a nose, cheeks or other facial features by removing portions of the face and replacing them with prosthetic parts. In the case of cosmetic surgery, such as nose reshaping, the surgeon removes facial features and reconstructs them in various ways. Sometimes it involves using natural materials such as plastic. Other times, the surgeon uses metal or ceramic implants to replace the facial features.
Rhinoplasty procedures include nasal reconstruction, which is usually done to correct birth defects, or to treat snoring, facial deformities, bulging cheeks, excessive fat or facial folds. Other surgeries may be performed to change the size or shape of the nose, lips, cheeks, or forehead.
In order to become licensed, the surgeon must complete an undergraduate degree, master’s degree or doctorate, which requires at least three years of successful completion of an accredited program. He or she must then pass a written exam, and a board certification. examination.
The doctors are qualified by The American Board of Plastic Surgeons (ABPS). In fact, the ABPS has a seal of approval from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Cosmetic surgery has changed dramatically over the last few decades, but patients are still concerned about looking and feeling better than ever before. It has also changed drastically since the days of my grandmother, who did not like to smile.
