Rhinoplasty offers a number of benefits in addition to aesthetic improvements: from correcting breathing problems to increasing self-confidence
Rhinoplasty is popularly known for slimming the features of the nose. However, its responsibilities go beyond aesthetics, as the surgery can also bring a number of additional benefits to the patient’s health and well-being.
Rhinoplasty surgery can solve functional and even psychological problems, underlines Edson Freitas, researcher in facial plastic surgery at USP (University of São Paulo).
The specialist highlights the main advantages of rhinoplasty, which go far beyond aesthetics. Watch:
1. Improve breathing and correct problems
Many people who require rhinoplasty suffer from breathing problems, such as deviated septum, turbinectomies and nasal obstruction. These conditions not only affect the patient’s quality of life, but can also contribute to sleep disturbances, snoring and even sleep apnea.
“During rhinoplasty, the surgeon can correct these structural irregularities, promoting better breathing and facilitating the passage of air through the nasal passages. We must address these functional problems during rhinoplasty, aiming not only for aesthetics, but also for respiratory health of the patient,” says Edson.
2. Correction of traumatic injuries and reconstruction
Rhinoplasty is also often performed to correct traumatic injuries to the nose, such as fractures resulting from accidents or sporting activities. These lesions not only affect the appearance of the nose, but can also cause difficulty breathing and discomfort. “Surgical intervention can restore the function and shape of the nose, providing physical and emotional relief to the patient,” says the specialist
3. Increased self-confidence and well-being
While there is no direct physical benefit, the psychological impact of rhinoplasty is significant. “Many people who undergo surgery report an increase in self-confidence and self-esteem, which can positively influence several aspects of their personal and professional lives. We must consider not only the aesthetics, but also the emotional impact on the patient”, concludes the professional.
It is also worth highlighting that rhinoplasty surgery can have a long-lasting positive impact on patients’ health and well-being when performed by a qualified surgeon with recognized expertise in facial plastic surgery.
