Rhinoplasty Facts – An Introduction

Ensure a good rhinoplasty result with solid research beforehand.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to change, refine or modify the shape or function of the human nose.  It’s also commonly referred to as –

• Cosmetic rhinoplasty
• A nose refinement
• A nose enhancement
• Cosmetic nose or nasal surgery
• A cosmetic nose procedure
• A nose job
• Plastic nose or nasal surgery
• Functional rhinoplasty
• Functional nose surgery
• Functional nasal surgery
• Functional nose surgery also covers another procedure, septoplasty (to correct septal deviations or repair a hole in the septum).
• Functional surgery can sometimes refer to nasal turbinate surgery to ‘trim’ enlarged turbinates – the nasal ‘air conditioner’.

Cosmetic surgeons are not all equally trained or skilled. Yet, for successful and pleasing results, only the best trained and most experienced surgeons can be depended on to perform this kind of complex surgery. The information presented here is an international benchmark for rhinoplasty procedures and processes.  Read it to ensure that you get the best surgery possible.

The nose has 240 anatomical variants.  Intellectually and technically, that makes rhinoplasty the most demanding of all forms of plastic surgery. The margin of error, at the most, is a mere 1 millimetre.

Rhinoplasty is luxury surgery. You’re entitled to the best possible result.

Unlike most other cosmetic surgery, rhinoplasty produces a permanent, visible result on your face. A local change to the nose has a global effect on the face.

Rhinoplasty is three-dimensional visio-spatial art. Not only does your surgeon need advanced specialist qualifications, skills and experience, but artistic talent as well.
