Nose Reshaping - Results

A rhinoplasty can beautify the exterior appearance of the nose as well as the improve or restore nasal air flow by correcting the nasal dividing wall. In the case of an aesthetic nasal correction, the size and shape can be changed according to your desires. The goal is to bring the nose into harmonious proportion with existing facial features. Specifically, bumps on the nose and disproportionately large nostrils can be reduced, crooked noses can be straightened, and noses that are too wide can be narrowed. Additionally, indentations in the bridge of the nose can be filled; the nose can also be enlarged. The nose is best suited for shaping when the existing bone and cartilage material is solid and the mucosa are intact. For a rhinoplasty, the operations and injuries preceding this procedure should be considered carefully in order to achieve the best possible results. The formation of a fine nasal tip can be impaired by porous, fatty skin. Likewise, very fine skin gives the contours of the cartilage and bone framework a more pronounced appearance.

As long as you have realistic and operable desires for the results of the operation, these can be achieved in most cases with correct execution. For most patients, an aesthetically shaped nose is closely associated with a gain in satisfaction and self-confidence.
