Nose Surgery: Your Nose is Unique
Facts, Methods and Terminology Patients Should Understand Before Undergoing Nose Surgery
Rhinoplasty surgery is a challenging operation, primarily due to the unique structure of each patients nose. The anatomy of the nose is rather typical: a combination of Skin, Cartilage and Bone. However, the size, shape and configuration of each of these components will be different in each person. It is agreed that an aesthetically attractive nose is typically balanced, relatively symmetric and naturally fitting of the persons overall facial features. And while this terminology has long been established, the proposed changes during a rhinoplasty should be tailored to the individual patient, and take into account the existing nose structure.
