The Impact of Rhinoplasty on Quality of Life

If you’re considering rhinoplasty and live in Metairie, New Orleans, Mandeville, or a surrounding area of Louisiana, Dr. Sean Weiss can advise you on its other practical benefits in addition to simply improving your physical appearance. Many patients that go see Dr. Weiss experience an improved quality of life due to these benefits—here are a few that you might want to consider:

Life-changing Benefits of Rhinoplasty

Increased Confidence

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that may alleviate long-standing self-esteem issues and enhance a patient’s overall sense of well-being. With more confidence, it is possible that you will feel more at ease to behave like yourself, finding it easier to communicate at social functions, meet new people, and expand your professional and personal horizons.

Improve Sleep Quality

If your snoring often interrupts your sleep, it could be a major indicator that you may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, which is a condition that occurs when the soft tissue at the back of your throat blocks your airway. People who are overweight are at a higher risk for sleep apnea, although restricted airflow in the nasal passages may also play a role. While rhinoplasty may not completely eliminate sleep apnea, it can make it much more manageable and reduce its effects.

Reduce Sinus Issues

Because rhinoplasty may change both the shape of the nasal passages and the external appearance of the nose, it can provide relief from several physiological issues. Changing the shape of your nose and improving your nostrils may greatly enhance your breathing capacity. Moreover, enhancing your airways also lessens the likelihood of sinus infections and nasal congestion.
