Psychological Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Post Date: 11/5/2022

Being dissatisfied with the shape of the nose and not being able to breathe well enough can cause individuals to feel bad psychologically. Therefore, rhinoplasty surgeries can provide many advantages, both physical and psychological.

Disliking the shape of the nose can adversely affect a person's private life, social life, and even business life, causing body dysmorphia. The comments of people who have achieved the ideal nose shape thanks to rhinoplasty operations reveal the benefits of the aesthetic nose.

Aesthetic perception determines how a person sees himself or herself in front of the mirror. This has an impact on the individual's position in society. More specifically, it can be easily said that the appearance of the nose is a determinant of the behavior of people in daily life. Those who do not like their nose can exhibit some characteristic attitudes:

• Not wanting to be photographed and videotaped,
• Determining the angle where the nose looks best and acting accordingly,
• Not being able to laugh freely because of the thought that the nose looks bad when smiling,
• Avoiding selfies,
• Trying not to give too many facial expressions.
• Avoiding eye contact due to loss of self-confidence.

In summary, it causes the person to not be able to express himself comfortably in behavioral terms. Before talking about the psychological advantages of rhinoplasty, it is useful to briefly talk about the scope of rhinoplasty.

What is Nose Surgery?

Rhinoplasty is a medical field that refers to surgeries that serve the purpose of changing the shape of the nose. It is one of the most preferred surgeries both in Turkey and in the world. Rhinoplasty not only changes and improves the appearance of the nose but also corrects nasal deformities. It also corrects health problems such as breathing difficulties and septum deviation. The deviated nose is corrected, the droopy nasal tip is fixed, nose augmentation and nose reduction are performed, and the nasal tip is reshaped. In addition to these, many other surgical operations are performed.

What are the Psychological Benefits of Rhinoplasty?

1. Rhinoplasty Offers Better Breathing Quality

Not breathing properly or not getting enough oxygen directly reduces the quality of life. Because of this, less oxygen goes to the lungs, the oxygen rate in the blood is low, the nose cannot filter properly, the heart has to exert more effort, headache and sinusitis occur, and snoring can occur.

All these are important problems that can cause mood disorders such as depression and dysthymia. A less physically active lifestyle may be adopted due to getting exhausted easily. When such problems are cured, the person feels more energetic, participates more actively in life, and of course, feels better.

1. Rhinoplasty Boosts Self-Esteem

Self-esteem refers to the value one places on himself. Self-affirmation and affirmation create a sense of appreciation. If the person does not like the appearance of the nose, it can lead them to be crueler to themselves. The person may feel unsuccessful. Aesthetic nose surgery has the power to recover these conditions. This promises to be more successful in all areas of life, from private life to work life.

1. Aesthetic Nose Surgery Increases Self-Confidence

Self-confidence is essential in all areas of life. Expressing oneself better increases self-confidence. However, people who think that they have an unaesthetic nose structure may not be able to express themselves physically. Negative self-evaluations of the individual can lead to a feeling of inadequacy. When these disappear, positive thoughts such as treating yourself better and feeling better emerge.

In summary, being at peace with your own body promises a happier life. The aesthetic nose is also an important part of it. A successful rhinoplasty is advantageous in every respect. It should also be added that the operations performed to correct the nasal shape should not impair the functionality of the nose.

For the sake of obtaining an aesthetic appearance, applications that reduce the function of the nose should not be attempted. If the desired result is not obtained after the first nose surgery or if problems such as breathing difficulties arise, revision rhinoplasty is performed. To explain briefly, revision rhinoplasty surgery defines rhinoplasty performed more than once, that is, two or more times. Revision rhinoplasty procedure should also be performed carefully. Therefore, it is essential to choose a successful surgeon for a problem-free process.
