What is my main goal for rhinoplasty?
“In short, my goal is to achieve not only a beautiful but also a functional nose.”
Let's start with functionality... If there is nasal congestion, it should be resolved, and a nose capable of healthy breathing should be obtained. This seemingly simple goal requires the selection and successful application of various surgical techniques based on the patient's anatomy. A nose that has symmetric and sufficient air passages, conchae not touching to septum or the side walls, and an undamaged mucosal covering will likely be functionally satisfying. Beauty, on the other hand, is a much more subjective matter... The desired result is a symmetric, aesthetically pleasing nose that is in harmony with the patient's face and preferences. Of course, to achieve an aesthetic result while preserving function, a selection from numerous surgical techniques must be made according to the needs, and improvisations should be applied successfully. In a successful rhinoplasty, those who know the patient should notice the change immediately, but someone unfamiliar should simply see a person with a beautiful nose...
