rhinoplasty
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a term used to describe a number of operations designed to re-shape the nose.
The nose may be straightened,
or a hump reduced in size. The tip
of the nose may be altered.
Dips and depressions on the bridge of the nose may be corrected. Abnormalities inside the nose
causing twisting or blockage may
be corrected.
Aims of surgery
To improve the nose cosmetically and to maintain or improve function.
– To produce a nose that is in
harmony with the face.
– To produce a result that has a
natural, non-operated
appearance.
These aims are achieved through
a careful pre-operative assessment of the individual to ensure that the surgical plan is tailored for each patient.
Limitations
It is not possible to choose a new nose. The existing abnormalities dictate what can be achieved. Age, ethnic origins and skin type
influence the possible final result. The effects of healing cannot always be predicted.
