Rhinoplasty
also referred to as a nose job, or surgery to reshape the nose, plastic surgery on the nose is one
of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. It can reduce or
increase the size of your nose, remove a hump or bump from the bridge,
change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils,
or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. Plastic surgery on the nose
may also correct a birth defect or injury, straighten a broken or crooked
nose or help relieve some breathing problems or difficulty. A septoplasty
is performed to correct a deviated septum. For a rhinoplasty to look right
for your face you need a careful clinical examination. The nose should
fit the aesthetic proportions of your face and permit the delivery of
air to the lungs without nasal airway obstruction.
In this case a C-shaped
deviation of the nasal bridge - deviated septum - has been corrected with
upward rotation of the nasal tip, reduction of columellar (strip of skin
between the nostrils) show and correction of a ski slope depression of
the bridge after 2 prior operations elsewhere.
Plastic surgery on the nose - rhinoplasty
can enhance your appearance and your self confidence. Realistic expectations
are important to be happy with any surgery. As each patient is an individual,
different results can be expected in each patient.
