When it comes to facial plastic surgery, there are a lot of myths floating around out there. You might have heard that nose jobs can melt. Or perhaps you've heard Botox injections will leave you expressionless for life. We're here to break down whats fact and whats fiction when it comes to rhinoplasty!

Fact or Fiction: Can rhinoplasty affect your sense of smell?
This is a fact! However, loss of smell is only temporary following this procedure. It should be back to normal within 3-6 weeks.

Fact or Fiction: Can rhinoplasty affect my voice?
This is fact, as well. Although the changes are almost undetectable, it still can change.

Fact or Fiction: My nose will look different right away.
This is fiction. The nose you desire will not appear the way you envision it for up to a year following surgery.

Fact or Fiction: You have to reach skeletal maturity to receive rhinoplasty.
This is a fact. Skeletal maturity means that your bones are fully developed. This usually doesn't happen for females until about age 14-15 and age 15 at minimum for males.
