What is Contour Rhinoplasty?
Contour Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that shapes the nose in accordance with the overall facial ratio. While a rhinoplasty alone may improve the appearance of the nose, it can sometimes result in an unnatural and awkward overall impression. Therefore, contour rhinoplasty is necessary to create a nose that harmonizes with the overall facial ratio. Facial contour surgery can also be performed in conjunction with this procedure. However, if bone surgery is a concern, implants, fat grafting or fillers can be used to achieve the effect of facial contour surgery and enhance the shape of the nose.
When is Contour Rhinoplasty Needed?
① When the mouth appears more protruding than the nose
② When the forehead is flat
③ When the overall face lacks three-dimensionality
