Nose surgery, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures.
Nose reshaping can
reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip
or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle
between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth
defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
Nose reshaping can
be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes (to
correct birth defects or breathing problems). The scars are usually all
internal and therefore not visible. If the nostrils are to be reduced,
there will be minimal scarring which is well hidden in the nostril
crease.
The bone structure of the nose can be related to that of a
frame tent. If you wish to reduce the height of the “ridge”, then the
sides must be also reduced and brought together to create a new ridge.
This will not affect the skin surface which will shrink back on the new
frame very well.
