Rhinoplasty

Abstract

AbstractThe nose occupies the centre of the face and receives enormous attention as a key aesthetic element. It is also an important organ contributing to vital functions of breathing and olfaction. A nose with ideal proportions creates a harmonious balance of aesthetic and psychological wellness. Whilst a rhinoplasty can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, there may be associated complications and undesirable outcomes. It is imperative that the surgeon desiring to practise the art and science of rhinoplasty should be familiar with the essential basics before embarking on this journey.
