A nose job (technically called a rhinoplasty) is surgery on the nose to change its shape or improve its function. It can be done for medical reasons, such as to correct breathing problems related to the nose or correct disfigurement resulting from trauma or congenital deformities as cleft lip nose deformity.
The goal of rhinoplasty is to create an aesthetically pleasing nose those functions in harmony with the rest of the face. Rhinoplasty is a challenging procedure, often considered one of the most difficult cosmetic surgeries, requiring in-depth training, years of experience, and a specialized skill set. Anatomically the nose is formed externally by the nasal bones, the upper cartilages, the lower cartilages with the overlying skin and soft tissue. The nose projects from the face as a 3 D central structure. Different portions of the nose should be in harmony to each- others and the whole nose should be in harmony to the whole face.
There are many different rhinoplasty techniques. Over the years, thousands of rhinoplasty techniques have been described in publications, textbooks and meetings lectures.With the endless variability of nasal shapes and forms, variation of skin thickness between patients and differences in the concept of beauty between cultures, the surgeon should have good experience and knowledge about different techniques in hands for achieving the best results in surgery. I’ve been blessed of being mentored by the world’s rhinoplasty experts. Blending their techniques and experiences with my personality. My belief is that beside having the good knowledge about different techniques, It’s also important to know how and when to use the technique. The site of placing an incision, the way we place a suture or adding a graft doesn’t come from just reading the books but it’s the outcome of experience from operating on hundreds or even thousands of patients. I like to think of rhinoplasty as a puzzle game, where every piece must be in its right place in relation to other pieces or otherwise the picture will never be completed.
I totally agree with the old adage ’ Rhinoplasty is easy, it’s just difficult to get good results’. If we will think of rhinoplasty as just a reduction or augmentation of a person’s nose, a bump removal, narrowing the bridge width or even correcting a crooked nose deformity, so yes It’s easy ! The difficulty in rhinoplasty always comes from how to achieve what is termed “Good result’’ .
For me, the term ‘’Good Results’’ has been a vague term, as it could be interested in different ways between people till finally I came out with my own understandings of what a ’Good Result ‘’ could be?
I believe that a ’Good Result in Rhinoplasty’ is : A “natural looking nose’’ that fits in harmony with the whole face, meeting with the patient’s expectations and finally delivering satisfaction and happiness for both the patient and the surgeon.
