Structural Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is used to reshape the nose. It can be done to improve breathing, reduce the appearance of a hump on the nose, or change the shape of the nose.

Structural rhinoplasty is a train of thought in rhinoplasty where a solid foundation to the cartilages of the nose is constructed with cartilage grafts.

Nothing is cut out and thrown away. Therefore, nose parameters such as tip position and rotation vary little over time under the weight of scarring.

The nose is a delicate combination of dips and bumps. A good rhinoplasty only subtly harmonizes them. The central position of the nose makes it a prominent feature and even small adjustments may provoke radical changes in facial aesthetics.

There are as many rhinoplasties as there are people. No two noses are identical. The main part of the job is to ensure the ideals aesthetics for each face are respected and/or enhanced.
