Do you know why rhinoplasty is one of the most frequent surgeries? It is because the nose is one of the central structures of the face, this makes it one of the most important features of your face. Its relationship with the eyes, cheeks and mouth results in the overall appearance of your face, and that is why the nose is of great aesthetic importance. Some people are not comfortable with a nose that disharmonizes their face, and therefore their facial appearance. These people may feel insecure in their relationships with others.
Rhinoplasty is a highly individualized operation, i.e., there is a great deal of difference between people in terms of face shape, nose structure, skin type, etc. Thus, each patient will have different needs and, therefore, a different type of nose surgery will be necessary.
Through this nose reshaping surgery, the external aspect of the nose can be improved in all its parts, whether it is an excessive hump on the dorsum (or bridge) of the nose, an excessive width of the nasal bones or deformities in the tip. In addition, this surgery can correct the deviation of the nasal septum causing breathing difficulties, surgery known as septoplasty or nasal septum operation. For all these reasons, rhinoplasty must be individualized for each patient.
