Perhaps because the nose is the face's most prominent feature, it often is a subject of angst for many patients. But with a skilled hand, an experienced facial plastic surgeon can help address both the functional and aesthetic issues of the nose and craft a beautiful, natural new look. Formally known as rhinoplasty, an expertly performed nose job can effectively address any of the most common patient complaints:

* A nose that appears too large for the face;
* A bump on the nasal bridge when viewed in profile;
* A nose that seems too wide when viewed from the front;
* A nasal tip that droops or plunges;
* A thickened or enlarged tip;
* Excessively flared nostrils;
* An off-center or crooked nose;
* An asymmetrical shape of the nose caused by a previous injury.

As with any facial plastic surgery, the key to a successful procedure lies primarily with the patient and his or her expectations. Many patients have unrealistic expectations of how their face will look post-nose job and how it will improve their lives. This sometimes can be a sign of something more serious. A recent ...
... study suggests that as many as a third of rhinoplasty patients may also have symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder, an excessive concern about appearance that can interfere with daily life. So, it's important that patients are well-grounded in their expectations and that plastic surgeons clearly communicate what is and is not possible with a nose job.

"Rhinoplasty won't make you look like someone else - and that should never be a patient's goal anyway," says Dr. Roberto Garcia of Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery near Jacksonville, Fla. "But a well-done nose job can greatly improve a patient's look and boost confidence when the expectations are reasonable."
