A surgery that alters the shape of a person’s nose, rhinoplasty is conducted for those that want to enhance breathing, or simply help change how their nose looks. The lower section of a person’s nose is cartilage, while the upper part is bone. The rhinoplasty procedure can change the skin of the nose, cartilage, bone, or all three of these, depending on what needs to be achieved. It can change the proportions, shape, or size of a person’s nose, too; ultimately helping to improve breathing issues, repair damage from injuries, or correct a birth defect.
For those planning on undergoing rhinoplasty, a surgeon will consider a patient’s facial features, as well as the skin on their nose, and what needs to be changed. If you are a successful candidate for the procedure, a customized plan will be developed by your surgeon to ensure success.
