What Can A Nose Enlargement Do?

Apart from the obvious, enlarging the size of the nose, a nose enlargement can provide other favorable results. The nose can also be made to look sharper and more defined in the process. It can also be augmented to match your existing features for a more well-balanced overall appearance. Reshaping is also possible, and this is usually done using an open technique.

How Does A Nose Enlargement Work?

During nose enlargement procedures, the nose is made bigger by adding height to the bridge of the nose and making the tip larger. This involves incisions made on the outer portion of the nose within the natural creases. Height is normally added by taking cartilage from other parts of the body.

How Long Is Recovery?

As every patient is unique, recovery times will vary. Generally speaking, the first two weeks after the surgery should be dedicated to recovery. It’s recommended to take these two weeks off work. Most bruising and swelling should be gone after 3 weeks, and exercise may begin after week six. Complete recovery is said to take a full year, but during this year, gradual improvements in recovery can be seen.

Is A Nose Enlargement Right For Me?

Most surgeons recommend waiting until the nose has reached ‘adult size’ before considering the procedure (late teens – about 16-18).
