Laser Rhinoplasty
Lasers are used for a lot of things these days, not just for vaniquishing the bad guys in sci fi movies. Their uses in plastic surgery are many. There are several types and they can be used for skin resurfacing, tattoo removal,varicose vein treatment, and treating a number of skin conditions, but for rhinoplasty?
Yes, they can be used to correct deformities caused by an over growth of thickened skin. Used in conjunction with traditional rhinoplasty,they can be used to eliminate thickened skin that causes a large, bulbous nasal tip. W.C.Fields would have benefited immensely from this treatment had it been available in his day. It is a very non invasive procedure for those who fear the knife. 2 lasers can be used with local anesthesia to treat skin thickening caused by acne rosacea. Acne rosacea is caused by bacteria on the skin. In severe cases, it shows up as very red bumps and can cause thickened skin and a bulbous nose tip. The laser heats the skin, destroying the top layers. There is a sensation of warmth and one patient described the sensation as similar to being popped repeatedly by a rubber band. Ouch! The body sheds the damaged skin and new, healthy skin immerges.
After care is similar to treating a really bad sunburn. You will need to clean with a gentle cleanser and avoid rubbing. Pain is minimal and recovery is quick. Again, think sunburn. Although their uses in rhinoplasty is limited right now, there will probably come a day when you can have a whole new face without being touched by a scalpel.
Certainly bleeding and scarring would be virtually eliminated. It's hard to realize that when we were kids, we marveled at all the movies depicting people sitting in chairs, being bombarded by lasers and miraculously transforming into perfect specimens. The future is now and laser rhinoplasty is just the start of what may be accomplished.
Insurance often will not cover laser treatment. The FDA does not recognize laser therapy as a surgery, but as a medical procedure.Take heart; many plastic surgeons offer payment plans and there are companies that make medical loans at a fairly low interest rate. Plastic surgery on instgallemtn plans, what a concept. It does provide a way for the average person to get what they need without breaking the bank.
