Every
year, half a million people who are interested in improving
the appearance of their noses seek consultation with
facial plastic surgeons. Some are unhappy with the noses
they were born with and some with the way aging has changed
their nose. For others, an injury may have distorted
the nose, or the goal may be improved breathing. But
one thing is
clear . . . Nothing has a greater impact on how a person looks than the
size and shape of the nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic
of the face, a slight alteration can greatly improve one’s appearance.
If you have wondered how nose surgery,
or rhinoplasty, could improve your looks, health or
perhaps even your self confidence, you need to know
how rhinoplasty is performed and what you can expect.
