| Rhinoplasty |
Surgery to reshape the
nose is a very common plastic surgery procedure and it can both increase
or decrease the size of nose. The shape of the tip, the bridge and also
the nostrils can be changed as can the angle between the nose and the
upper lip. Sometimes breathing difficulties can be corrected at the same
time.
The nose is the central feature of the face, many people are
self-conscious of shape which they may regard as too big, too small or
have some other feature which they dislike.
The characteristics of the
nose are inherited from parents and develop during adolescent years. It
continues until the age of 16, when the nose stops growing. It is,
therefore, unwise to operate before this age. |
