Rhinoplasty Before & After Photos
A nose that doesn’t fit your face throws everything out of proportion. A bump on the bridge or a bulbous tip can make you self-conscious about your whole appearance. If all you see is your nose when you look in the mirror, maybe it’s time for a change.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the shape, size, structure, or function of the nose. It may be performed for cosmetic concerns, breathing concerns, or both.
During rhinoplasty, Dr. Miller may refine the nasal bridge, reshape the tip, reduce a dorsal hump, narrow the nostrils, straighten the nose, or improve internal nasal structures that affect airflow. The goal is not simply to make the nose smaller. The procedure is planned around the proportions of the face, the support of the nose, and the changes that can be achieved safely.
Many patients considering rhinoplasty in New York want a result that appears subtle and individualized. A successful procedure can improve nasal definition and balance while preserving the patient’s recognizable appearance.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance, proportion, and function of the nose. Depending on your anatomy and goals, rhinoplasty may help:
- Reduce or increase the size of the nose
- Refine a bulbous, drooping, wide, or poorly defined nasal tip
- Reduce a dorsal hump or bridge prominence
- Straighten a crooked nose
- Narrow a wide nose or nostrils
- Improve facial proportions from the front, side, and three-quarter views
- Improve the nasal profile by reshaping the bridge or tip
- Address visible nasal asymmetry
- Correct changes caused by injury or trauma
- Improve breathing when structural concerns are present
- Correct a deviated septum when combined with septoplasty
- Improve confidence while maintaining a natural appearance
The best rhinoplasty results are based on the individual patient. Dr. Miller evaluates the nose in relation to the chin, cheeks, lips, forehead, and overall facial structure so the final result looks refined rather than overdone.
