Remaining in
the top three
cosmetic
procedures
in Australia,
rhinoplasty is
one of the
most popular
and intricate
procedures
that can
completely
reshape
your face.
The nose is the central feature of your face and plays
a key role in facial symmetry. Any abnormalities will
aff ect the overall aesthetics of the face, and changing
the size or shape of the nose to bring it into harmony and
balance with the rest of the face can be a life-altering event
– both physically and psychologically.
According to the International Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) statistics, rhinoplasty was one of
the top three procedures performed in Australia, along with
eyelid surgery and breast augmentation.
A 2015 study from Realself.com revealed that
rhinoplasties are the second most researched topics in
plastic surgery, accounting for seven percent of all its
Australian traffi c.
WHAT CAN
RHINOPLASTY
DO?
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, improves the appearance
and proportion of the nose, enhancing overall facial
aesthetics and harmony. Surgery of the nose may also be
performed to remove deviations that have been caused
by a birth defect or injury or correct impaired breathing
caused by structural abnormalities in the nose.
Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of the nose,
change the shape of the tip or bridge, narrow the span of
the nostrils or change the angle between the nose and
upper lip.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to balance it with
other facial features. There are two main techniques –
open (incision made at the base of the nose) and closed
(incisions inside nose) – that can change the size of the
nose, remove a hump, narrow the nostrils, change the angle
and/or refi ne the tip.
