Medical Reasons for A Nose Job

Published by Aubrey Sohaney

When Cosmetic Procedures are Medically Necessary

Feeling good about your appearance is extremely important when it comes to maintaining your happiness and self-confidence. A rhinoplasty procedure, also known as a nose job, is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the United States. This isn’t surprising when you consider that your nose sits in the center of your face. However, while many patients opt for rhinoplasty because they want to change the shape of their nose for cosmetic reasons, this procedure can also be used to treat a number of medical issues.

When Can You Get A Nose Job – Candidates for Rhinoplasty

At the Center for Cosmetic & Laser Surgery, we suggest getting a nose job if you are significantly unhappy with the appearance of your natural nose, and minor treatments such as dermal fillers in Naperville can’t fix the issue.

Rhinoplasty procedures are designed to give patients a fully functioning, neatly shaped nose that makes them feel happy and confident. However, it’s important to know that patients can get nose jobs simply to address functional issues, rather than cosmetic.

Patients who have suffered nose injuries or have conditions that impact their ability to breathe usually qualify as good candidates for “medically necessary” nose jobs. Rhinoplasty can reduce or even eliminate nasal congestion, inflammation, blockages, and other medical conditions.

Common Medical Reasons for Rhinoplasty

Some common reasons for medical nose jobs are listed below.

  • Injury or Trauma
  • Cleft Lip or Cleft Palate
  • Deviated Septum
  • Polyps, Masses, or Other Blockages in the Nasal Cavity
  • Inflammation
  • Structural Abnormalities
  • Difficulty Breathing Through the Nose

Getting a nose job for medical purposes can improve a person’s daily life by helping them feel more physically comfortable. This is not much different than a patient who might choose to have a rhinoplasty procedure for cosmetic purposes.

Whether you’re interested in functional rhinoplasty or cosmetic rhinoplasty, our plastic surgeons in Naperville, IL are here to help you through the process. At CCLS, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin.

First time here & I will definitely be back! Allison did my Botox. She was honest when I asked her what areas she thought botox would be best for me & explained the whole process. I have received botox at other cosmetic centers & this was by far the best experience!
