Dallas, TX- The nose is the most prominent feature on the human face. While there are many people who were blessed with a perfectly proportioned nose, there are many others who are less than happy with the nose they were born with. Perhaps your nose is too large for your face, or its crooked. Maybe you have a bump which gives you a less than flattering profile, or you have a bulbous nose tip. Luckily, those who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose they can correct it with rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job.

There are numerous aesthetic and health benefits to rhinoplasty, making it the second most requested plastic surgery procedure in the U.S., according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In addition to improving your facial appearance, rhinoplasty can make you look younger.

One of the most common complaints of patients seeking a nose job is having a hump or bump on the nose. This has often been referred to as a Roman nose, but this hump can be easily removed by a skilled facial plastic surgeon, giving the nose a straighter line and improved facial profile.

Other rhinoplasty patients are unhappy with the shape of their nostrils, complain that their nose is too large or have a bulbous, drooping, or an oversized nasal tip. Just one of these issues can make a person feel unattractive, but they can be easily corrected through nose surgery, restoring balance and symmetry to the face.

A skilled aesthetic face doctor will correct any flaws so that your nose looks in proportion to your eyes and mouth. Although, people may not be conscientiously aware of it, we evaluate an individuals beauty based on the symmetry and proportion of their facial features. A person can have stunning eyes, cheekbones or mouth, but a too large nose can take away the appeal of these features.

Along with making your face more attractive, a nose job can also make you look younger. A recent study conducted by the University of Toronto found that a nose job can make a person look an average of 1.5 years younger. Those who had humps removed saw the greatest anti-aging effect from a nose job, looking 1.6 years younger after surgery. Patients who didnt have a hump prior to surgery looked 1.1 years younger.

Rhinoplasty can also correct a deviated septum which can lead to breathing problems, sinus infections and nosebleeds. The nasal passages are straightened so that they are symmetrical and your airflow is no longer restricted.

But the most beneficial aspect of a nose job will be felt in the way you feel about yourself. People excel in their personal and working lives when they have confidence in the way they look, this radiates outward and forms peoples impression of us. Insecurity can hold you back in your career along and personal relationships, so restoring self-confidence through a nose job can help you flourish in all aspects of life.
