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. 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 the
point of impact was on the left side causing an indentation in the bone
at that point and splintering the bone creating a bump on the bridge.
The bump was removed, the indent camouflaged and the brige brought back
5mm to match facial proportions and give the patient an unoperated or
natural look.
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.
