The Shape of rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty, or nasal surgery, is popular among men and women who are dissatisfied with the size and/or shape of their nose. Being such a prominent feature, the size and shape of the nose may be the most defining characteristic of one's face. He performs rhinoplasty for both cosmetic and functional (breathing) indications. Rhinoplasty surgery frequently involves the external appearance, as well as the internal structure and breathing apparatus.
Conditions requiring rhinoplasty may be a result of natural causes, birth defects or traumatic deformities. Frequently, patients who desire rhinoplasty are concerned that their nose appears too large or out of proportion to the face. The nose and chin are important balancing features of the profile, and can often affect one's appearance. A small, flattened or receding chin may also be a contributing factor to a patient's complaint of an "unattractive profile." For these reasons, chin enlargement or augmentation or a chin implant may be considered and discussed at the time of the nasal surgery consultation as this procedure is frequently performed at the same time as rhinoplasty to improve and balance the facial proportions.
