How a nose surgery can alter your appearance

The nose holds a central position in our face which becomes a natural point of focus for our surroundings, its shape also greatly affects our appearance and the harmony of one’s face. These factors have made nasal surgery one of the most common plastic surgery procedures.

The nose is built mainly around bone, cartilage and dermis/fatty tissue which is draped by skin. Depending on the changes one wishes to obtain a nose job can shape one or several of these tissues.

The possibilities of change through rhinoplasty are countless. A large nose can be made smaller, a wide nose slimmer and a long nose shorter. Nose surgery can also alter the shape of the nose tip or bridge, reduce the distance between the nostrils and change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
