Rhinoplasty: Choosing the ideal nose shape

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, involves a detailed and personalised process to create natural-looking results that enhance the facial profile.

Mr Giovanni Ferrando, an experienced consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon, begins with a thorough consultation where he listens carefully to the patient's concerns and aesthetic goals.

How is the ideal nose shape chosen?

During this consultation, the ideal shape of the nose is decided through an analysis of the patient’s facial structure, their desired outcome, and any functional concerns such as breathing issues.

In deciding the nose shape, Mr Ferrando utilises advanced imaging techniques to show the patient a potential post-surgery look. This approach helps ensure the final result aligns with the patient’s expectations. Factors such as facial symmetry, the proportion of the nose in relation to other facial features, and the natural contours of the patient's face are all considered to achieve a harmonious and balanced look.

The rhinoplasty procedure

Once the nose shape is agreed upon, the rhinoplasty surgery is scheduled. The procedure typically takes a few hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. During the operation, Mr Ferrando uses refined surgical techniques to reshape the bone and cartilage. This may involve reducing the size of the nasal hump, narrowing the nasal tip, or correcting any structural issues affecting the patient’s breathing.

Mr Ferrando is renowned for his expertise in both open and closed rhinoplasty, selecting the most appropriate method based on each patient’s unique needs. He focuses on achieving results that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. The ultimate goal is to create a nose that looks natural and fits seamlessly with the rest of the patient’s features.

Proven success

Mr Ferrando’s extensive experience and his commitment to patient satisfaction are evident in the numerous successful rhinoplasty cases he has handled. Many patients have praised the dramatic yet natural improvements in their appearance, with enhanced facial harmony and improved self-confidence.
