The Health Benefits of Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty is a popular facial plastic surgery that is also commonly known as a “nose job.” A rhinoplasty can increase or decrease the size of a nose, change the tip or bridge of the nose, or adjust the shape of the nose or nostrils. While many think plastic surgeries just change one’s appearance, there are many ways this procedure can treat common ENT disorders. Continue reading to learn more about the health benefits of rhinoplasty and find out if you might benefit from this surgery with some of the examples listed below.

Improve Sleep

A common reason why people opt for rhinoplasty surgery is due to sleeping issues. Because rhinoplasty can improve breathing, many people experience a better night’s sleep after getting this surgery. Rhinoplasty can also help with snoring and is often used as a treatment for sleep apnea as well.

Increase Exercise

Exercise is one of the best ways to stay healthy, but it can be difficult if you have trouble breathing. With rhinoplasty surgery, exercise can become much easier because it can remove any nasal obstructions that may cause breathing issues.

Reduce Sinus Issues

Individuals can also relieve certain sinus issues such as headaches, nasal congestion, and more by getting rhinoplasty surgery. This is because sinus problems often arise from blocked nasal passages. Rhinoplasty surgery can reshape the nose to help remedy these issues.

Repair a Broken Nose

Rhinoplasty can also help individuals who have recently suffered a broken nose. By getting a rhinoplasty, you can ensure your broken nose will return to the appearance it had before the injury. In many cases, rhinoplasty surgery also reduces the pain that comes with a broken nose.

Boost Self-Esteem

The health benefits of rhinoplasty also stretch beyond physical side-effects and can help improve an individual’s mental health as well. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, rhinoplasty can alter your outward appearance, in turn boosting your self-esteem.

If you are interested in undergoing a rhinoplasty surgery because of nasal obstruction, sinus problems, sleep apnea, or another ENT disorder, consult with an ear, nose, and throat doctor in Houston, TX, at one of Allergy and ENT Associates many locations.
