Rhinoplasty (Nasal Surgery)

Rhinoplasty can reshape your nose in a number of ways to improve its appearance and proportion in relation to your other facial features. People most often elect surgery to alter the size and shape of the bridge and tip of the nose. One or more adjustments may be made as necessary.

The earliest recommended age for rhinoplasty is the mid-teens, a time when the nose is near full development. There is no upper age limit for rhinoplasty. For older individuals, health is the primary consideration.

Reshaping is generally done through incisions inside the nose. There may also be an incision passing across the central portion of the nose between the nostrils. It is sometimes necessary to narrow the base of the nose or reduce the size of the nostrils. This entails removing small wedges of skin at the base of the nostrils. The resulting scars usually fade and ultimately should be barely noticeable.
