RHINOPLASTY :

"I don't like my nose!!!!"

How many times have we heard that statement by people around us?

"My nose is too big/small!!"

"Because of my nose deformity I feel that I'm not able to perform well at work...!!!"

"People make fun of me, because of my nose!!!"

These are a few of the remarks with which patients come to us. If we ask 100 people 95 % will say that they are not satisfied with their noses. But not everyone is so dissatisfied that they come seeking correction.

For the ones who come for correction a few things we have to think about. Are they really so dissatisfied with their noses?? Will a correction help them?? Will they be satisfied with the new nose?? Will it be acceptable??

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common operations performed by cosmetic surgeons today. This procedure is designed to improve the appearance of the nose & involves any or all of the following procedures:

· Reduction of forward projection of the nose
· Removal of humps
· Correction of deviation of the nose and the septum
· Narrowing of the bridge of the nose
· Narrowing the tip
· Reduction of nostril size
· Correction of depressed nose

Rhinoplasty in most cases involves modifying the underlying skeleton (bones and cartilage) to produce the necessary changes. The aim is to bring the nose in balance with the rest of the face. The nose has to be seen as part of the face rather than as a single entity alone.
