Everyone has their own idea of what is an attractive nose. For most, quite simply, it is a nose that fits their face. It is a natural looking nose that achieves a harmonious balance with your other facial features. If you feel that your nose is not a good fit for your face, you may benefit from cosmetic surgery of the nose, also called “Rhinoplasty.” Rhinoplasty can enhance the shape, size and general appearance of your nose. The “hump” on the bridge of the nose can be flattened. The tip can be shaped to be less “boxy” or bulbous. A long appearing nose can be shortened. A nose that is off-center or crooked from injury can be straightened. After surgery your nose will have a straighter bridge, a well defined tip and an improved angle between the nose and upper lip.
Breathing easier
Many people seek improvements in their nose for the outward appearance
but often times the problem is inside the nose as well. Difficulty breathing
through the nose can be a result of trauma or injury, or simply the way
your nose developed naturally. The wall separating the two nasal passages
called the septum can be deviated to one side or the other causing constriction
of air flow. A Septoplasty can remove this bulging or deformed
portion of cartilage and give you a straighter septum with no compromise
in the air passage. In addition, a turbinectomy can also open the nasal
air passages by reducing the turbinates, the internal projections that
warm and moisturize the air that passes through the nose. The end result
is better air flow and less difficulty breathing through your nose at
night or during exercise.
A good balance
When we talk about achieving a balance to your face with rhinoplasty,
sometimes this involves enhancing the chin. Some people who feel their
nose is projecting too far out from their face may have a small or “weak”
chin. When viewed from a profile the nose and chin are out of balance.
Corrective rhinoplasty to enhance the nose may be combined with a chin
augmentation with an implant. The result is a much stronger more balanced
appearing profile.
