Face Transformation: Nose
Hi Everyone!
Thinking about getting your nose done? Then you should know what kind of nose you currently have and what kinds of changes you can make to it. Today I'll be going through some common types of rhinoplasty, hopefully, this will help you get a better sense of how you would like your nose to be!
1. Aquiline Nose
What is it
You most likely have an aquiline nose if you have a high nose bridge. An aquiline nose is defined by a prominent nose bridge, making it look curved or slightly bent. Due to the high nose bridge, the nose tip can also look droopy.
Correction Method
First and foremost, we will need to shave down the nose bridge, making it less prominent. Once the bridge has been shaved down, cartilage will be added to both the nose bridge and nose tip to give a natural look and to fix the droopy nose tip. In the case that the nasal bridge is too low, a nasal bridge implant will be inserted.
2. Bulbous Nose
What is it
If you feel like your nose is too blunt and round with a wide nasal tip that lacks shape and definition, you probably have a bulbous nose. Some people with this kind of nose describe having a 'ball' at the end of their nose, instead of a more proportionate triangular shape. This type of nose is usually caused by the widespread of cartilage on both sides of your nose tip, as well as poor cartilage strength or excess soft tissue within your nose tip.
Correction Method
In the case of a large nasal cartilage, the cartilage will be shaven down to reduce its size. If the cause of the bulbous nose is excess soft tissue, a small incision will be made to remove the appropriate amount of tissue at the nose tip. The cartilage within your nose tip will then be brought toward the center, heightening the tip.
3. Short Nose
What is it
A short nose is when the dimensions of your nose are not proportionate with your other features. Your nose may look shorter, and your nose tip lifted, causing your nostrils to be exposed. The most common cause of this is the lack of nose tissues, though the size of your nasal cartilage can also be a cause.
Correction Method
Because of the lack of tissue, it is a rather difficult surgery to perform, however, it can definitely still be done. If the nose cartilage is too large, it will be trimmed down to reduce its size. A nasal septum extension graft will then be inserted in the nose bridge, elongating the nose. The nose cartilage will then be raised to accommodate the new nose length.
4. Deviated Nose
What is it
Also known as a deviated septum, the cartilage between your nostrils (your septum) has shifted away from the midline. This, in turn, will cause your nose tip to look downturned. You may also notice that if your nose is more than a third of your face, you may have a deviated nose.
Correction Method
The nostril alar cartilage can be raised using nasal support or nasal septal lengthening. This then brings up the nose tip, correcting the deviation on your nose and giving it a sharp angle.
5. Wide Nasal Bridge
What is it
If you notice that your nose bridge is on the thicker side, making your nose look like it's spreading across your face, you might have a wide nasal bridge. It can commonly occur due to an excess width or thickness of the nasal bones or when your nasal dorsum (the space above your nose bridge) is too low.
Correction Method
The nose bridge will be trimmed vertically along the sides of your nose, giving it a more narrow and smaller appearance. The nasal bone is then adjusted towards the center of the nose to bring up the nose tip.
Hopefully, this will help you better understand what sort of procedures you will need if you are looking to correct your nose. Further consultations can still be made with us in case you would like further clarification on your nose. Until next time!
