The nose is a very important part of the face. For people who are not happy with some aspect of their nose, it can create a very real issue of low self-confidence. Through nasal reconstruction, it is possible to change the look of the nose slightly or more significantly to create the profile and the front view of the nose that makes you feel good about yourself.
In some cases, people want to have nasal reconstruction due to an accident or injury. Noses can easily be broken, resulting in large bumps, twists or even a bend in the nose. Additionally, there are medical issues such as surgeries or congenital conditions that can cause disfigurement of the nose and the surrounding tissue.
Through rhinoplasty or nose reconstruction, an experienced plastic surgeon can create a balanced look to the nose that perfectly matches the other features of your face. This procedure may include modifying the bone and the cartilage in the nose, or it may only involve the soft tissue.
Choosing the Right Look
If you are considering nasal reconstruction surgery, take the time to find an experienced cosmetic surgeon. Review past before and after pictures and look closely at how the after picture presents the nose in conjunction with the patient’s other features.
Rhinoplasty should not stand out as an obvious surgical procedure. In fact, an experienced and professional cosmetic surgeon will not perform a procedure that is going to dramatically change the patient’s looks unless he or she is satisfied the patient is making the decision for the right reasons and is fully informed of all aspects of the choice.
New technology allows the doctor and the patient to look at virtual images of changes to the nose. This assists the patient in having a full understanding of what he or she can expect after the procedure.
