The nose is the central portion of the face. Thus, the nasal surgery takes important place in the harmonization of the facial structures.

Currently, there are more sophisticated techniques that were developed to suit the shape of the nose to the individual characteristics of each patient’s face. The aim of the surgery should be facial harmony, since the nose is at the center of the face and it is an important esthetic unit. The nose surgery can be performed from 16/17 years old, depending on the development of facial structures and presented alterations.

It is possible to reduce or increase the size of the nose, to reshape the tip and dorsum, to correct sequelae of trauma, to improve respiratory function, to decrease the size of the nostrils, to improve the relationship between the nose and upper lip and to improve the shape of a nose that has previously been operated. The aim of modern rhinoplasty is to achieve a beautiful and functional nose that fits the face and the ethnicity of the patient.
