In facial cosmetic surgery, the nose is the most prominent feature. For individuals who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their nose and wish to improve their facial balance, nose reshaping and reconstruction provide solutions.
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose reshaping, can help those who are unsatisfied with their nose and its contours. Nose reshaping can correct minor irregularities of shape, position and indentations of the nose, such as a “bump” or bulbous tip. Other issues such as a wide nose, nasal tip shape and size, asymmetrical nose and internal irregularities can be corrected.
Nose reshaping benefits patients often in combination with other facial plastic surgery, and is usually considered for teenagers after age 16 when most nasal growth has occurred. During a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, issues of nasal “bump” or nasal tip can be addressed. Additional refinements may include the use of cartilage grafts usually taken from inside the nose or occasionally the ear. Nasal breathing problems created by a deviated septum can also be improved during cosmetic Rhinoplasty procedures.
After cancer, the goal of nasal reconstruction is to provide as normal an appearance as possible. In nasal reconstruction, a “direct” closure is often possible by using local skin to fill the gap. However, for larger areas of reconstruction, the use of either skin graft or skin flaps are considered to best provide similar skin repair to what was removed. Sometimes, it may take several procedures to accomplish the finished reconstructive result. The procedures can be performed in the office with only local anesthesia numbing solution. Nasal reconstruction helps patients regain confidence as they return back to their normal lives.
