Benefits of Refinement Rhinoplasty
The nose is one of the most noticeable facial features. People who have a well-proportioned nose may not pay much attention to how it influences their overall appearance. But for those who think their nose is too large, has noticeably irregular features such as a large hump or bulbous tip – their nose can often become the focus of their face and detract away from their other attractive facial features.
Refinement rhinoplasty patients will usually see the best result through a carefully selected combination of these changes to their nose:
- hump reduction – to reduce the size and shape of dorsal hump or bump on the nose
- tip rotation – to create a more attractive angle between the tip of the nose and the upper lip
- augmentation or projection – to create a more prominent bridge or project/define the tip area, often but not always in Asian patients
- tip refinement – to make a bulbous or bulky tip look more refined and sophisticated
- alar base reduction – to narrow the nostrils
