Nasal Assessment
It is my strong belief that the result from Rhinoplasty depends on the pre operative nasal assessment. To create controlled change it is absolutely essential to have a detailed plan that is followed during the surgery.
Traditional rhinoplasty techniques are appropriate in 23% of nasal cases That in truth means that the other 77% are in danger of a less than satisfactory result.
A surgical plan is essential and follows careful nasal assessment Ultimately the plan describes the ideal nasal dimensions based on facial proportions. It also identifies any matters of concern.
A good analysis not only determines the ideal nasal tip projection, but also identifies problem noses that are at risk for a poor result.
Examples include noses that have :
- Low radix/Low bridge
- Narrow (weak) middle vault
- Inadequate tip projection
- Alar cartilage malposition
If you are seeking nasal change and desire a result that is in balance and hormony with the face there are answers to your questions available here Rhinoplasty “Making the right choices.”
