Do You Need A Nose Job? 3 Surprising Reasons Why Rhinoplasty Might Be In Your Future

Julio Carr

If you love the look of your nose -- the angle, shape, slope and profile -- you may think that rhinoplasty is not for you. However, in addition to cosmetic reasons, there are several reasons why a nose job might be medically necessary. While you may not want to change your look, getting a medically-necessary nose job may actually change your life. If you have difficulty breathing or if you suffer from chronic sinus infections and/or migraines, you may need a nose job to improve the quality of your life. Following are three surprising reasons why rhinoplasty might be in your future. 

Difficulty Breathing

Some people are born with a deformity of the cartilage in the nose called a deviated septum. A deviated septum may also be caused by some sort of traumatic injury to the face and nose. Basically, having a deviated septum means that the cartilage in your nose is uneven or misaligned. This can cause a host of problems, but the most common problem associated with this type of deformity is difficulty breathing. This is due to the fact that one nostril is smaller than the other because of the misalignment. In severe cases, one nostril might be closed off completely.

Chronic Infections

If you have a deviated septum or other structural abnormality of the nose, your sinuses might not be able to drain properly, which can lead to recurrent sinus infections and pain. If you have chronic sinus infections, it's a good idea to see an ear, nose and throat doctor to check for any physical malformations that might be causing your issues. These issues can often be fixed quite simply with an out-patient rhinoplasty procedure that removes any obstructions found in the nose and nasal passages.

Chronic Migraines

Scar tissue, a deviated septum, blockages and other nasal issues can cause intense, chronic headaches and migraines. If you suffer from headaches and tenderness around the nose and eyes, you may have a deformity in your nose that's causing your frequent pain. If you can find no other cause for your headaches, you may wish to see an otolaryngologist to see if a nose job could alleviate your pain. 

There are many non-cosmetic reasons why you might want to consider getting a nose job. If you suffer from any of these chronic nasal problems or if you are a heavy snorer, you might want to talk to your doctor to see if rhinoplasty is for you.

As an elderly care worker, I have witnessed the deaths of many individuals. I have seen family members become angry, sad, and completely silent at the end. I have also seen individuals refuse to see family members out of denial. People deal with death in different ways, and the strong emotions are often unfamiliar and scary. If you have a parent or grandparent who is elderly, then I want to share with you what I know about end of life care and dying process. We are a society that does not talk about death, and this can cause great pain when a family member dies. Learn about the process and find out how to deal with your own emotions and how to love your family members at the end. If there is only a small amount of time left, then I want you to cherish the final moments.
