NOSE SURGERY

Do you happen to be unhappy with the shape or size of your nose? Unfortunately, this is a very common dilemma that many people share nowadays. And this distress is certainly no laughing matter: people tend to feel a great deal of apprehension and a tremendous lack of self-confidence when the central organ of their face is not to their liking. Luckily, there are some effective plastic surgery techniques that can change the way your nose looks.

WHAT IS A NOSE CORRECTION SURGERY?

A nose correction procedure (which is also known as a rhinoplasty) is a cosmetic operation that is designed to adjust the size and shape of a nose. Rhinoplasties are most effective when the nose has already finished growing and the prospective patient is not only in good health but has realistic expectations of what their nose can transform into. Some of the most common issues that a nose correction surgery is used to address include:

  • Imperfections of the nasal tip
  • Crookedness
  • A large dorsal hump
  • An elongated or excessively wide nose
  • Obstructed breathing caused by a deviated septum or other impeding nasal structure

During rhinoplasties, surgical incisions are typically made in areas of the nose that lead to minimal scarring that can be barely detected by the naked eye. Through these incisions, key areas of nasal tissue are accessed and removed. There are two types of nose correction surgeries as well. A closed rhinoplasty describes a nasal surgery that only uses incisions made inside the nose; this procedure is perfect for mild corrections. Open rhinoplasty is used in more extensive cases and incorporates a small incision across the columella.
