What is it?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure in which the shape or size of the nose is changed to give facial harmony and a symmetrical appearance to the patient’s face.
It can also be performed for people with breathing difficulties due to a structural defect of the nose.
Candidates
The 80% of the candidates for Rhinoplasty are people who want to change their facial features and have a more proportionate nose that gives a better appearance to the face. The other 20% are people who want to undergo surgery because they have suffered injuries that prevent them from breathing normally or suffer from respiratory problems related to the nose exclusively.
You are a viable candidate for nose surgery if:
- Your facial growth is complete
- You are physically healthy
- You do not smoke
- You have a healthy expectation and realistic goals in improving your appearance
