Commonly referred to as a “nose job,” rhinoplasty can be a great option for many women and men seeking to improve the appearance and/or function of their nose. Based on the unique needs and goals of the individual, this procedure can be customized to help:
- Decrease the overall dimensions of the nose
- Smooth out a nasal hump on the bridge
- Straighten a crooked nose
- Resize/reduce and/or improve the symmetry of the nostrils
- Reshape/refine the tip of the nose
- Reposition the nasal bones to decrease the width of the nose
- Reduce the projection of the nose
- Elevate (or lower) the nasal tip make it slightly upturned (or downturned)
- Repair a deviated septum
If you are interested in rhinoplasty, it’s helpful to have a good idea of what you’d specifically like to improve about your nose prior to meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon. My advice is to create a list of specific issues that bother you as well as what you wish to have changed, then schedule a consultation. Following a thorough evaluation, an individualized treatment plan can be developed based on your particular desires and your surgeon’s professional opinion.
