Rhinoplasty Before and After Photos
Welcome to our photo gallery showcasing before and after pictures of rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that involves reshaping the nose to improve its appearance and function. This procedure can address various issues such as a crooked or humped nose, a wide or narrow bridge, or a bulbous or droopy tip. Many people who undergo rhinoplasty report increased self-confidence and improved quality of life. In this gallery, we have compiled a collection of real-life examples of the transformations that can be achieved with rhinoplasty surgery. We hope that these images of actual patients will help you understand the potential benefits of this procedure and inspire you to explore the possibilities of rhinoplasty for yourself.

Rhinoplasty Temecula
Our nose sits right in the center of the face for all to see. No other part of our face seems to define us , to say who we are and even lend a sense of ancestry to our facial form. Patients who come for rhinoplasty consultation often feel that their nose doesn’t “go” with the rest of their face. And often, their nose is stealing the show by calling attention to itself whether because of size or something about its shape. In these patients the nose detracts from letting us see the other beautiful parts of their face. So in one sense, rhinoplasty surgery diminishes the effect that the nose has on the face by making it smaller or by making other changes to nose.
Patients often also tend to focus on one part of the nose that bothers them the most but rhinoplasty surgeons immediately respond with the notion that the nose must be sculpted so that all of the parts work together to create beauty and so all of the parts must be treated, even if minimally to get the nose to its ideal shape.
What is considered the ideal nasal form has changed dramatically over the years. When rhinoplasty was in its infancy in the early 1900’s, patients were only men with very large noses. As surgery became more advanced, women, with naturally smaller noses began to have rhinoplasty but the style continued with making the nose very small and essentially to remove all of the “bump”. This style of rhinoplasty, left what we now call a “ski slope” and even the tip of the nose was diminished so that it lost its shape. Many patients even had this rhinoplasty into the ’80’s.
The current focus on rhinoplasty is to enhance the shape and make all the parts of the nose go together. This is achieved with a respect for the shape of each of the parts of the nose. The “bump” on the nose is reduced when it is too large for the rest of the nose and face but rather than being reduced completely is modified so that the bridge of the nose is straight or slightly bowed in. How much “bump” is taken off is discussed thoroughly with the patient including how shape can affect their ethnic appearance and also relate to the other parts of the face. Should the tip of the nose be too prominent, the tip is reduced but care is taken to retain its character and shape and bring it into alignment with the bridge so that all of the parts work together to create harmony. Looking at the rhinoplasty before and after photos demonstrates these shape ideas and how we help the nose to look great but also retain and even bring out the patient’s natural beauty.
