Rhinoplasty also referred to as a nose job, or surgery to reshape 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. Nose surgery 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 of Asian or Oriental rhinoplasty the bridge is raised and narrowed and the nasal width at the nose-cheek junction narrowed. These are typically problem areas in the Asian nose. If desired the tip can be changed further to appear more Caucasian if a less ethnic look is desired.

Nose surgery 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.
