How many aspects of the nose can be changed in one Rhinoplasty? (e.g. Length, width, tip, bridge, nostril size) Are there limits as to how many aspects can be changed in one single Rhinoplasty?
Answer: A rhinoplasty can address several areas in one procedure In general, a rhinoplasty can address all of the areas you described in one procedure, and in fact, it is usually the best way to get the nicest result. The limits of the procedure are determined by the patient's anatomy and the degree to which any one area can be altered-- in other words, for example, we can narrow the nose, but only to a point, otherwise it will look too unnatural or will cause you breathing problems. Good luck and hope that helps, Dr. S

Answer: Comprehensive Rhinoplasty Addresses All Problem Areas of the Nose The best rhinoplasty is one that produces a nose that is proportional and in balance and harmony with the other facial features. This can involve addressing all areas of the nose including: the dorsum (bridge), the boney vault, the tip, and the alar (nostril) base. Not all rhinoplasty patient need to have adjustment to each and every part of the nose -- this is something that needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Ideally, rhinoplasty is a one time operation -- patient's should not need a second surgery or a touch up if the first one is performed correctly. [ The exception to this is complex secondary (revision) rhinoplasty or nasal reconstruction in which the procedure is planned in several stages. These are unusual cases and doesnt apply to the vast majority of primary (first-time) nose jobs. There are, however, limitations to what rhinoplasty can accomplish. For instance, very large noses or noses with very thick skin can be made somewhat smaller; but in order for the nose to have any shape, the skin must fit tighly around the newly constructed framework. The converse is true for small noses -- the nose can be made larger, but only to the extent that the skin will accomodate the framework.

Answer: Types of Changes Possible in Rhinoplasty All kinds of changes can be achieved in a single rhinoplasty as long as it is a primary (first time) rhinoplasty. The shape, the length, the width, the tip's projection, etc. One thing that cannot be done at the same time is any treatment of the nasal skin. It has to be done at a different time otherwise the compromise of blood supply can cause poor healing of the skin. Regards.

Answer: Rhinoplasty With rhinoplasty, several aspects of your nose can be modified within reason. If you post a picture, we may be able to give you more specific advice. However, rhinoplasty classically can be used to change the length, width, tip shape and nostril size all in one setting. Good luck.

Answer: Limits to Rhinoplasty All the aspects you mentioned can be changed in single rhinoplasty operation, and is done frequently. There is, of course, a limit to how much each part is done, no matter how many aspects you change.
