Here, we’ve listed 5 of the most common nose shape concerns that we see in our practice:
Wide Nose and Bridge
Rhinoplasty can narrow a wide nose, which helps create more balanced facial proportions. It is common for those with Asian or African ancestry to have a wide-set nostril base and bridge.
Subtle adjustments that respect the natural heritage and character of the face can improve nose proportions without eliminating a person’s apparent ethnicity.
Meticulous, precise adjustments remove a minimal amount of tissue for elegant contours and a beautiful result.
Bulbous Tip
Many people who choose rhinoplasty in Austin, Tx, want a more refined nasal tip. The end of their nose may look rounded or “bulbous” due to lower lateral cartilage. If the nose appears overgrown or swollen, a reductive rhinoplasty or tiplasty can help.
A Long Nose
Feeling that one’s nose is too big or too long has to do with size and projection. If the nose “sticks out” from the face significantly, it can make the patient feel self-conscious and even cause them to hide their face.
Sometimes the combination of nasal projection with an underdeveloped chin amplifies the protruding effect. Rhinoplasty can reduce a long nose and help restore facial balance.
Crooked Nose
Crooked noses are common and may be the result of genetics or the result of nasal trauma. The septum, which is the thin wall between your nasal passages, can be displaced to one side, making breathing more difficult.
To improve your nasal asymmetry, you may require a cosmetic rhinoplasty. You may also combine it with septoplasty, which is called a septorhinoplasty.
A Nasal Hump
Though a bump or hump on the nasal bridge is quite a common feature, many people are bothered by theirs and dream of having a straight, smooth bridge with no bump. Shaving down a hump on the nose is one of the most effective nasal surgeries and impactful improvements are made using minor adjustments.
