Nose Surgery - Things to Consider

Nose Surgery Considerations

Balancing Form & Function

Things to consider when you are thinking about nose surgery

When considering nose surgery, you and your plastic surgeon must consider both the appearance and function of the nose.

If the size of your nose is reduced to improve its appearance, the function of your nose may also be changed. The size of the breathing passages is sometimes reduced when the size of the nose is altered.

Each case must be considered independently based upon the internal structure of the patient's nose. An experienced plastic surgeon will know this and will help guide you toward achieving a proper balance.
