WHY IS A NOSE SURGERY NEEDED?

The nose constitutes the central third of your face. As such, it is the center of attention when others are conversing with you or looking at you. What is an attractive nose?
An attractive nose is one that looks natural and achieves a harmonious balance with your other facial features. Plastic surgery on the nose or rhinoplasty can enhance the shape, size and overall appearance of your nose. Rhinoplasty can be performed on any age group. It is recommended that young people wait until facial growth is complete – about age 13 to 14 for girls and 14 or 15 for boys. If you are a teenager, having the procedure should be your own desire and preference.

TO ENHANCE RESULTS

To enhance results, you may consider improving your facial balance with concurrent procedures. A facial rejuvenation procedure can augment the results of your rhinoplasty. Your chin size and projection have remarkable influence on the appearance of your entire face, especially your nose. You may choose to make your chin more or less prominent. A chin implant can augment your chin to achieve a smaller appearing nose. In contrast, procedures to make an excessively large chin smaller can make your nose more proportional for your face. Please refer to the list of Dr. Sayah’s specialties for other procedures you may benefit from.
