How a nose looks and how it functions can have a huge impact on one’s daily life. Aesthetically speaking, many people are self-conscious about the appearance of their nose. There is a spectrum of nasal deformities that rhinoplasty can address to help with these problems. Some of the most common issues include smoothing out a hump, making a big nose smaller, and making the nose more refined. Some patients only need small changes while others desire a more dramatic change.
Your nose is the most prominent part of your profile, and it should be highly individualized and in relation to your overall appearance. Noses are not interchangeable. To copy a celebrity nose may not be the right thing for you considering your other facial features. Adding Angelina Jolie’s nose to your face may be less aesthetically pleasing, considering your facial features, than the nose you are trying to alter. This is why a consultation is so important. A great rhinoplasty surgeon isn’t running a parts factory. The true art of rhinoplasty is about establishing harmony. An optimum result is one that enhances and improves what’s out of proportion without changing someone’s total appearance.
Rhinoplasty is widely considered one of the most challenging operations in plastic surgery because every millimeter counts. A surgeon’s judgement, expertise, and experience are paramount.
