Austin Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty may not be a term you are familiar with, but it is the medical term used for a nose job procedure. This is a very popular cosmetic surgery that can make a world of difference in balancing out an individual's facial features and bringing the face into a more harmonious balance. There are many differing factors that can affect the look of a person's nose.

Symmetry - It has been shown that humans respond more positively to symmetry, particularly facial symmetry. Even a slightly off-centered nose can make a pronounced difference in a person's appearance, throwing the entire symmetry of the individual's face out of balance. A nose job can remedy this, restoring a symmetrical balance to the face.

Shape - Many patients come visit plastic surgeons who are unsatisfied with the shape of their nose. For example, in cases where patients are unhappy with the bulbous tip of their nose, they may wish to have the tip reduced or narrowed. Another common task involved with Rhinoplasty is the removal of a prominent hump along the bridge of the nose.

Size - Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of the nose (although the latter is far less often sought) this is done by removing or adding tissue. Usually only a very small change is required to produce noticeable results.

Nose surgery has become one of the more common facial procedures requested in the plastic surgeon's office, and as plastic surgery becomes more and more accepted in society, we see more and more women and men seeking to refine the appearance of this feature in order to achieve a more symmetrical, proportionate look from both front and side profiles.
