Is Rhinoplasty right for me?

A crooked nose, a distorted nasal tip, and broad nostrils can make people feel self-conscious about their looks. Rhinoplasty is a surgical operation that alters the shape and visual appearance of your nose. Rhinoplasty may be performed to enhance breathing, change the look of the nose, or both.

The upper part of the nose consists of bone, while the lower part is cartilage (a firm tissue). Rhinoplasty can restructure bone, cartilage, skin, or all three at the same time. Consult a professional to see if Rhinoplasty is right for you and how it can help you.

Your surgeon will evaluate your other facial characteristics, the skin on your nose, and what you want to change while considering Rhinoplasty. If you're a surgical candidate, your surgeon will create a unique treatment plan for you.


Why opt for Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is performed to repair the nose following an injury, cure breathing problems or a congenital deformity, or improve the nose's appearance. Your surgeon might be able to make the following alterations to your nose through Rhinoplasty:


  • A shift in size
  • A shift in angle
  • Levelling the bridge
  • Shaping the tip
  • Reducing the nostrils


If you want to get Rhinoplasty done just to improve your appearance, then it is advised that you should not proceed until your nasal bone is fully matured. This is around the age of 15 for girls.

Boys may continue to develop until they are a little older. On the other hand, Rhinoplasty can be done at a younger age if you're having surgery for a breathing problem.
