Benefits of Rhinoplasty
The nose is the central feature of the face and can heavily influence first impressions, facial balance, and self-confidence. Rhinoplasty can offer plenty of benefits to patients who feel their nose is out of proportion with the rest of their face:
Nose Reshaping and Resizing
Rhinoplasty is a popular surgical procedure for those looking to alter the size or shape of their nose and create a more balanced appearance. Whether you feel your nose is too large, too small, or simply not proportional to the rest of your facial features, this surgery can offer a solution. An expert plastic surgeon like Dr. Al Aly can:
- Reduce a prominent bump or hump on the bridge
- Correct a crooked or bent nose
- Make the nose narrower or wider
- Reshape a bulbous, drooping, or upturned nasal tip
- Adjust the size and shape of the nostrils
Straightening a Deviated Septum
Besides the cosmetic change, nose surgery can also improve your breathing. The septum (the wall of cartilage and bone that separates the nose into two nasal passages) may have an irregularity that causes breathing problems for some people. It can cause snoring or sleep apnea, or even recurrent sinus infections. Septoplasty can be performed alongside rhinoplasty to straighten the septum and open your airways.
Creating Facial Harmony
A well-proportioned nose is a significant part of the face and can dramatically change how you appear to others entirely. It’s important to consider your aesthetic goals when deciding on a rhinoplasty surgeon, as some providers specialize in different techniques and approaches.
Dr. Aly specializes in routine or regular population rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty. Whomever a rhinoplasty is performed on requires attention to detail, a nuanced approach, skill, and extensive experience. Routine rhinoplasty is traditionally performed on Caucasians, most often to reduce the size of the nose. Ethnic rhinoplasty improves facial harmony while preserving a patient’s cultural background and unique facial features. Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary procedure that can correct results from a previous, unsatisfactory nose job. For all patients, Dr. Aly takes the time to design a personalized treatment plan to ensure your new nose fits well with your other facial features, including your chin projection, eyes, and cheeks.
Choosing a Rhinoplasty Surgeon
Rhinoplasty is a complex surgery that requires a surgeon with extensive experience. When choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon, research their credentials, areas of expertise, and previous work to make sure their qualifications align with your goals and expectations.
The best way to gauge if a plastic surgeon is the right fit is to schedule a rhinoplasty consultation. During your consultation, you should:
- Ask to see before and after photos of their previous work
- Explain your aesthetic goals clearly
- Ask about their experience with cases similar to yours (i.e., revision or ethnic rhinoplasty)
- Confirm that the surgery will be performed in an accredited facility
