Rhinoplasty

It is understandable to want a smaller, more delicate nose, but rhinoplasty is not simply a matter of making the nose as small as possible. The nose has an important structural and functional role, and removing too much cartilage or bone can weaken the nose, distort its shape, and potentially interfere with The goal of a reduction rhinoplasty is to reduce the size or prominence of the nose while maintaining appropriate structural support and creating balance with the rest of the face. A nose that looks attractive on its own may not necessarily look natural or proportional when viewed in relation to your forehead, cheeks, chin, and other facial features. There are also limits imposed by your individual anatomy. The thickness of your skin and soft-tissue envelope, the strength and shape of your cartilage, the width of your nasal bones, and the current structure of your nose all influence how much reduction can safely and aesthetically be achieved. In our practice, we spend significant time evaluating the overall facial proportions and nasal structure before deciding what should—and should not—be changed. The goal isn't to create the smallest possible nose; it is to create a nose that is appropriately sized, balanced, natural-looking, and harmonious with your face while preserving function.
