Rhinoplasty, also known as dorsum reshaping or nose lift, is a common type of surgery in modern plastic surgery. It aims to improve the height, shape and overall facial coordination of the nose. With the improvement of people's aesthetic concepts and the development of medical cosmetic technology, more and more people are paying attention to the morphology of the nose. This article will discuss the types of people suitable for rhinoplasty, related surgical methods, indications and preoperative and postoperative precautions, aiming to provide reference information for medical practitioners and the majority of people seeking beauty.
1. Basic Concepts of Nose Reshaping
Rhinoplasty mainly involves sculpting the back of the nose through surgical procedures to improve a low, flat or crooked nose. Surgical methods include prosthesis implantation, autologous cartilage transplantation, hyaluronic acid injection, etc. The purpose is to achieve overall harmony of the facial features. Based on the nasal anatomy and aesthetic needs of different individuals, the doctor will design a personalized plastic surgery plan.
2. People who are suitable for nose plastic surgery
1. People with low or flat nose bridge
This is the most common group of people who are suitable for rhinoplasty . Due to genetic factors, some people have underdeveloped nasal dorsum and a flat nose. When viewed from the side, the nose is unclear and lacks three-dimensionality, which affects the overall coordination of the face.
2. People with crooked nose
A deviated nose bridge caused by congenital or traumatic factors not only affects the appearance but may also cause nasal ventilation obstruction. Plastic surgery can correct the direction of the nose bridge and restore facial symmetry.
3. People with wide or uneven noses
Some individuals have a wide nose bridge, which makes the facial contour appear unclear. Rhinoplasty can make the nose contour more refined and three-dimensional by narrowing the nose bridge and sculpting the lines.
4. People with unbalanced facial proportions
The nose is located in the center of the face and is an important structure that affects the overall harmony of the face. If the bridge of the nose is low, it often causes the forehead and chin to appear prominent, affecting the "golden ratio" of the face. Such people can use plastic surgery to lift the bridge of the nose and improve the overall proportion.
5. Those who have undergone nose surgery and were dissatisfied with the results
This group of people are candidates for reconstructive surgery. If the previous surgery caused the bridge of the nose to be unnatural, too high, or the prosthesis to shift, a secondary plastic surgery is required to adjust the height and shape of the nasal bridge.
6. People with pathological abnormalities in nose bridge development
For example, patients who undergo cleft lip and palate surgery often have nasal deformities. The bridge of the nose of these patients may appear collapsed or deviated, requiring a combination of functional and aesthetic restoration.
3. Surgical method and material selection
The main types of nose reshaping surgeries include:
1. Prosthesis implantation
The advantages of using artificial materials such as silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene to carve and implant them into the back of the nose are strong support and simple operation; the disadvantage is the risk of rejection.
2. Autologous cartilage transplantation
Including ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage or rib cartilage. Because the materials come from one's own body, they have high biocompatibility , but the sampling process is more complicated and requires high operating skills.
3. Injection filling
It mainly uses hyaluronic acid or collagen injections and is suitable for those with a slightly low nose bridge. It is a minimally invasive plastic surgery method, but its maintenance time is limited and it needs to be supplemented regularly.
Different materials and surgical methods require a comprehensive evaluation based on the patient's individual anatomical conditions, financial status and expected results.
IV. Preoperative evaluation and postoperative management
1. Preoperative evaluation
A comprehensive physical examination and imaging data analysis are required before the operation to determine the thickness of the nasal bones, soft tissues, the status of the nasal septum, etc., and to evaluate the feasibility of the operation. In addition, the purpose, method and possible risks of the operation should be fully communicated with the patient.
2. Postoperative Care
After the operation, you need to avoid strenuous exercise and external force on the nose, have regular follow-up visits, and observe the stability of the prosthesis and the recovery of soft tissue. Swelling and congestion may occur in the early stages, and scientific care is needed to promote recovery.
3. Prevention of complications
Problems such as infection, prosthesis rejection, cartilage absorption, and unsatisfactory morphology are all possible problems that may occur after surgery. The doctor's operating experience and the quality of postoperative management directly affect the postoperative effect.
5. Psychological Factors and Social Support
People who undergo rhinoplasty need to have rational cognition and a healthy psychological state. Excessive pursuit of an ideal nose shape, frequent surgeries, or aesthetic deviations formed by the influence of social media may lead to psychological gap or body cognitive disorders after surgery. Doctors should fully evaluate their psychological expectations before surgery to avoid irrational plastic surgery behaviors.
Social support is equally important. The understanding and companionship of family and friends can help with postoperative recovery and emotional stability. Medical institutions should strengthen preoperative psychological counseling and postoperative follow-up systems to improve the overall satisfaction of patients seeking beauty.

Beauty Encyclopedia Tips:
Nose plastic surgery is a medical cosmetic surgery with high personalization and technical requirements. It is suitable for adults who want to improve the appearance of their nose and enhance the overall coordination of their face. Those seeking beauty should consult a professional doctor in detail before choosing the surgery, and choose a suitable plan based on their facial structure and individual needs, to avoid blindly following the trend or accepting unauthorized illegal surgical operations. At the same time, postoperative care and psychological adjustment are equally important and are key components to achieving good plastic surgery results. Choosing a regular medical institution and a licensed practitioner to perform the surgery is a prerequisite for ensuring safety and effectiveness.
