If you’re dissatisfied with the shape, size, or proportions of your nose, rhinoplasty—commonly known as a nose job—may be the ideal solution. This surgical procedure corrects nasal imperfections by reshaping the internal structure of the nose to create a more harmonious, balanced appearance that enhances your facial features.
Rhinoplasty addresses a variety of aesthetic and structural concerns. Scheduling a consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon is the best way to determine if rhinoplasty is right for you. Below, we highlight the most common nasal shapes and irregularities that this surgery can effectively correct.
Nose Shapes Commonly Treated with Rhinoplasty
1. Humped Nose
A humped nose, identified by a visible bump along the nasal bridge, often results from genetics or a previous injury. Rhinoplasty can remove excess bone and cartilage, smoothing the bridge and achieving a straighter, more refined profile.
2. Boxy Tip
A wide, thick, or “boxy” nasal tip can detract from the overall appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty reshapes and refines this area by removing or adjusting cartilage, creating a balanced, natural-looking tip.
3. Bulbous Tip
A bulbous tip is marked by a round, wide appearance that lacks definition. Through rhinoplasty, the tip can be reshaped to achieve a more elegant and structured look.
4. Pinched Nose
A pinched nose appears overly narrow at the tip, often creating a “pinched” or constricted look. Typically, a congenital issue, this condition can be corrected through rhinoplasty techniques that widen and balance the nasal tip.
5. Broad Nose
A broad or flat nose can give the face a less symmetrical appearance. Rhinoplasty can refine the nasal bridge, narrowing and reshaping the nose for a proportional and balanced aesthetic.
6. Crooked Nose
A crooked nose, caused by genetics or trauma, disrupts facial symmetry. Rhinoplasty can straighten the nose by correcting its underlying structure, enhancing both appearance and functionality.
7. Plunging Nasal Tip
A plunging nasal tip hangs downward and can be especially noticeable when smiling. Rhinoplasty lifts and repositions the tip, providing a natural and confident look.
