High nose on the sides and flat nose on the front

If you feel that your nose is very high from the side but appears sunken when viewed from the front when looking in the mirror, this is generally caused by psychological reasons or the shape of the nose. You can ask your family or friends to help observe further. If this is indeed the case and you are particularly dissatisfied with it, you can seek the help of a plastic surgeon and improve it through some plastic surgery methods.

High nose on the sides and flat nose on the front

The nose consists of three parts: the external nose, the nasal cavity, and the paranasal sinuses. The external nose is located in the center of the face. The nasal cavity is a cavity located between the two sides of the skull. It is surrounded by paired paranasal sinuses on the top, back and sides. The external nose is supported by bones and cartilage and covered with soft tissue. The nasal bones are paired on the left and right, connected at the midline, connected to the nasal process of the frontal bone above, and connected to the frontal process of the maxilla on both sides. This condition is related to vision and is not a structural problem with the nose itself.

Plastic surgery overview

Rhinoplasty should fully consider the overall coordination and coordination with surrounding structures. If an immature teenager undergoes nose surgery, it may hinder his development or even cause deformation. Therefore, rhinoplasty for cosmetic purposes should be performed after the age of 17 to 18. Rhinoplasty is a combination of separate surgeries that target various parts of the nose. The surgical method used will vary depending on individual characteristics.

Suitable for

Rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of the nose and increase the self-confidence of the patient, but not everyone is suitable for rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is suitable for people who:

1. Mentally and physically healthy people

The best candidates for rhinoplasty are those who want to improve their appearance without seeking perfection. If you are physically healthy, mentally healthy, and your expectations are realistic, then you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty.

2. Age should be above 18 years old

Age is another factor that doctors consider when deciding whether to perform rhinoplasty. Plastic surgeons generally do not perform rhinoplasty on adolescents (14-15 year old girls and 16-17 year old boys) until their development is more stable.

3. Secondary rhinoplasty

If the rhinoplasty is performed with an incision inside the nostrils, there will be no visible scar after the surgery; if a nostril reduction surgery is performed, a not very obvious scar will be left at the base of the nose after the surgery. Almost 1 in 10 rhinoplasty patients will need a second rhinoplasty to correct minor imperfections, and even the most experienced plastic surgeons can have unexpected problems. The second rhinoplasty is usually a minor operation, but it should not be performed in a cosmetic surgery institution that does not have medical plastic surgery qualifications.
