Nose surgery improves the appearance and proportion of your nose, enhances facial harmony, and boosts self-confidence. Surgery of the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural abnormalities in the nose. The shape of your nose is usually the result of heredity. However, the appearance may have been altered in an injury or during prior surgery.
Nose surgery can provide positive benefits by changing the size of the nose in relation to the other facial structures; by changing the width of the nose at the bridge. Nose surgery can improve your profile by addressing humps or depressions on the bridge, or by correcting the tip of the nose that may be large, drooping, or too upturned. Nose surgery can help with nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned. |
