Austin Nose Job Cosmetic Surgery
At Personique we perform a number of Austin nose job procedures each year. The procedure, which is actually called Rhinoplasty surgery, is perhaps one of the most aesthetically rewarding procedures in plastic surgery. It’s remarkable how even the slightest correction of a minor nose imperfection can dramatically enhance the appearance of an individual’s face. As a central feature of the face, the nose can have a profound effect on your overall look and even a nominal defect can throw off the balance of the rest of your features.
The goal of a nose job procedure is not to entirely alter the patient’s nose, but rather to refine the existing nose and diminish the appearance of any noticeable imperfections. Many of our Austin nose job patients report that even their friends and family cannot tell they had the procedure. In most cases, people notice something is different but they can’t quite put their finger on what it is. Most all of our previous Austin nose job patients tell us that post-surgery they’ve received numerous compliments about how great they look, but that their friends often attribute their fresh, new look to things like having lost weight or getting more sleep.
Rhinoplasty is a procedure that is popular among both Austin women and men alike. The procedure can be performed for medical reasons, to help relieve breathing problems, or strictly to improve aesthetic appearance. A nose job procedure can address a variety of cosmetic issues including:
Symmetry – Studies have shown that human beings respond more positively to symmetry, so a nose that is even just slightly off-centered can create an asymmetrical appearance, throwing the entire symmetry of the person’s face out of balance. A nose job can remedy this uneven look and restore a more harmonious balance to the patient’s face.
Shape – A number of our Austin nose job patients come to Personique displeased with the shape of their nose. With rhinoplasty, our plastic surgeons can reshape the nose from the inside by altering underlying bone and cartilage structure, without any external scarring. Each patient has a unique set of needs when it comes to nose shape, for some, the problem may lie in a bulbous tip that they may wish to have reduced or removed. Many patients we see are displeased with an overly prominent nasal hump, which a nose job can easily remove, creating a smoother, straighter profile. In other instances, the tip may need to be lowered or raised.
Size – During a nose job procedure, the plastic surgeon can both reduce or increase the size of the nose (although the latter isn’t as frequently sought after as the former). However, every case is different and depends on the patient’s individual needs. Size reduction is a very common request from patients seeking a nose job. Reduction rhinoplasty can be easily performed by reducing and adjusting the size of the bone and cartilage framework beneath the skin. This is typically achieved by moving the bones closer together to narrow the width of the nose. It is also possible to shorten the nose by removing excess cartilage from the end of the nose as well.
Usually, only a very small change is needed in most nose job procedures to achieve noticeable results. Nasal surgery has become one of the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery today.
