Being centrally
located, the nose should blend harmoniously with the other facial features
and not draw attention to itself. To this end, people seeking a rhinoplasty
do so for several reasons. They may feel that it is too large or too small
for their face, crooked, misshapen or, perhaps, fine except for just one
minimal problem (bump, depression, angulation, ,etc.). Furthermore,
with aging and gravity, the cartilages in the tip start drooping and produce
an apparent lengthening of the nose with a slight hump. Finally, some
people have breathing difficulties, headaches or sinus problems due to
deformities within the nose. Many times these internal deformities will
express themselves externally as well, as with a very deviated septum.
The operation
consists of removing excess bone or cartilage and then rearranging and
reshaping the remaining nasal structures. In all but a very few cases,
the incisions are made entirely within the nose. Generally, bone and cartilage
over the upper two-thirds of the nose is reduced in height and is also
narrowed. Occasionally, augmentation rather than reduction is necessary
if too much has been removed from some prior surgery or if it has been
depressed from previous trauma. Augmentation is also used many times for
the Westernization of certain Asian noses. Finally, the tip
cartilages are made more delicate and aesthetic by means of selective
resection, rotation and reshaping.
