    Rhinoplasty focuses on both main factors: correcting structural errors and enhancing facial aesthetics and balance, along with symmetry. In some cases, both main factors can be reasons for having rhinoplasty, but generally, it is made for facial aesthetics. But, does it help to enhance them?

    Yes, rhinoplasty can enhance and change them. Different methods can be applied to enhance facial aesthetics and increase its balance with other facial structures such as lips, nostrils, cheeks, eyes, chin, and even eyebrows. 

    In this article, we will talk about the shape and size of the nose, and start with understanding its relation with other facial structures. Then, we will switch to understanding desired goals and expectations for rhinoplasty and more.

    Understanding the Role of the Nose in Facial Aesthetics

    The nose plays an essential role in facial aesthetics since it is in the center of the face. It helps to adjust facial symmetry and the golden ratio of the face. We can call it “center and completed piece”. 

    Therefore, the nose size, bridge, and shape are effective in facial aesthetics.

    Identifying the Desired Changes in Nose Shape and Size

    Identifying and explaining the desired changes in nose shape and size is important during the consultation with your surgeon. To achieve the best outcome, you need to explain yourself in full detail.

    During the consultation, your doctor will examine your nose and facial structure. They may use the computer and imagining systems to show before and after results.

    Customizing the Rhinoplasty Procedure to Meet Your Goals

    According to your goals and facial aesthetics, your surgeon can customize the rhinoplasty process. There are some rhinoplasty procedures exist such as:

    • Open and Closed Rhinoplasty
    • Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
    • Functional Rhinoplasty
    • Ethnical Rhinoplasty, and more. 

    The factors such as your facial and nasal structure, skin thickness, and goals affect the customizing process.

    Achieving Facial Harmony and Proportion

    To achieve facial harmony and proportion, some corrections need to be done with the help of rhinoplasty. Generally, they are:

    • Reducing the size of the nose, generally along with reshaping.
    • Changing the size and adjusting the angle to achieve a golden ratio.
    • Reshape the tip.
    • Correcting the nostrils, adjusting them to the overall nose size.

    Creating a Natural-looking Nose

    Creating a natural-looking nose is one of the most important factors in the rhinoplasty process because nobody would want to get the surgery and a plastically shaped looking nose. 

    For example, using the computer and imagining systems would be helpful to achieve a natural-looking nose. Because you and your surgeon can see the results before the operation, most clearly. We will discuss them in a separate title.

    Balancing the Nose with Other Facial Features

    Balancing the nose with other facial features will help you to achieve a symmetrical and harmonious look. The shape, size, and position affect this balance. But mainly, it consists of:

    • The forehead: It creates the upper side of the face, you can think of it as the roof of the home. 
    • The chin: It creates the lower side, drawing a path through the neck.

    Since the nose takes place between these two features, changes in the nose will affect these two. The cheeks and lips are around the nose, and you need to talk about them with your surgeon too.

    Addressing Functional Issues While Enhancing Aesthetics

    While enhancing facial aesthetics, addressing the functional issues, and balancing them would be good, it is up to the whole process and you & your surgeon’s decision. The rhinoplasty also includes combining operations. Following these steps may help you:

    • Developing a plan: After addressing functional issues such as breathing, snoring, sinusitis, etc., planning for enhancing aesthetics starts.

    Choosing the Right Surgeon for Your Rhinoplasty

    Considering Digital Imaging and Simulation

    However, please note that you need to have realistic expectations. Even though the imagining system can give you the perfect results, there is no guarantee that you would achieve the perfect results that the computer suggests.
