Both men and women frequently seek changes in the appearance of their noses, and rhinoplasty is one of our most commonly performed plastic surgery procedure in Colombias.  With this operation it is ver imporant to work with a plastic surgeon with specialized rhinoplasty experience and training.  This intimate knowledge of the nose and the various modifications possible are critical to achieve a natural appearance while balancing out other facial features.

Our patients choose rhinoplasty for their own personal reasons that often include:
-Enhancing the size or shape of the nose
-Bringing a better proportion to the nose and facial features
-Repairing damage caused by an injury
-Improving or restoring breathing
-Complementing another facial procedures, such as eyelid surgery or face lift.
-Many women and men increase their self-confidence and satisfaction in their facial appearance, or -simply breathe more freely.  For every patient, we do a complete facial analysis and discuss treatment options with the patient, both surgical and nonsurgical.  Together with the patient, we come up with a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan, and can often perform procedures together if more then one is desired.  A consultation with a plastic surgeon is the next best step.

I agree with your assessment of the nose. These features can be improved to give your nose a softer, yet masculine appearance with a rhinoplasty procedure. The goal would be to narrow the upper 2/3 and define (narrow) the tip. Consult with a surgeon that has experience in rhinoplasty.

A rhinoplasty procedure can address narrowing a wide nose. This can be accomplished with osteotomies placed in the nasal bones,a tip plasty to narrow the tip and cartilage grafting techniques to add height to the bridge.
