It’s All About the Nose for Younger Patients

August 12th, 2015

Young men and women are taking advantage of the opportunity to feel better about their looks, with the shape of their nose being an important part of that. For cosmetic surgery patients under age 35, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery) was the most popular procedure they chose last year.

As one plastic surgeon said, “Even a minor correction to the nose can make a huge improvement in facial harmony.”

Rhinoplasty can fix: nose size in relation to facial balance; nose width at the bridge or in the size and position of the nostrils; nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge; nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked; nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned; and nasal asymmetry.

Beyond just altering the proportions of your nose, rhinoplasty can also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose, such as a deviated septum. Your surgeon will adjust the nasal structure to produce better alignment.

Patients often request their new nose resemble that of a favorite celebrity. The most popular noses? For men, it’s George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. And, for women, Nicole Kidman, Kate Middleton and Halle Berry.

For rhinoplasty in Madison, Wisconsin, you can trust the experience of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Clifford King.
