Rhinoplasty or the “nose job” has been one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries for many decades. For those with damaged or misshapen noses, changing the elements of the nose can help improve balance of the facial features. While each nose job is unique, there are common corrections that are requested by the hundreds of thousands of men and women which receive a rhinoplasty each year. Here are five of the top nose corrections that rhinoplasty can accomplish.
- Hump or bump on the bridge. One of the most common issues corrected through a nose job is the removal of a hump or noticeable bump in the bridge. Straightening a crooked bridge is also common.
- Wide or flat nose bridge. Often referred to as an Asian nose-job, creating a narrower or higher bridge through rhinoplasty for those with genetically flat or wide bridges is a common procedure.
- Reducing a bulbous tip. A round tip of the nose is undesirable by some. Thinning a round or wide tip of the nose is a main concern for many pursuing a nose job.
- Hooked, upturned or pointy tip. A nose tip that hooks or droops downward, or a pointy or turned up tip, can be corrected with rhinoplasty, creating a more pleasing shape for the nose.
- Reduce overall size of the nose. Reducing a wide, long or large nose is often the goal of rhinoplasty.
Choosing to have a nose job performed is an important, personal decision. But for many, it can be a decision that can positively impact their appearance and self-confidence. If you are considering rhinoplasty, it is critical to find an experienced facial plastic surgeon that specializes in rhinoplasty to ensure you get the best results to correct the shape of your nose.
