Rhinoplasty Basics: Understanding Nasal Structure & Balance | Dr. Makhlouf, Plastic Surgery
Hello, I'm Dr. Makhlouf, and today I’m answering the many questions we receive about rhinoplasty. In this introductory video, I’ll explain the key aspects of nasal anatomy, including the bone, cartilage, and nose tip, to help you understand the complexity of rhinoplasty procedures.
We'll explore the different parts of the nose:
Top Part: Bony structure, often involved in correcting humps and performing osteotomies.
Middle Part: Cartilage, including the septum, which is crucial for both the nose's shape and function.
Lower Part (Tip): The most intricate area, where balance and aesthetics come into play.
I also discuss the importance of overall facial balance, particularly the relationship between the nose and chin, and how it affects the perception of nasal size. Whether you’re considering rhinoplasty or just curious about the procedure, this video will provide a foundational understanding.
Key Points Covered:
-Anatomy of the nose: bone, cartilage, and tip
-Correcting humps and performing osteotomies
-Deviated septum and breathing improvements
-The importance of balance in rhinoplasty, including chin-nose harmony
-Aesthetic considerations for male vs. female noses
Stay tuned for future videos where we'll dive deeper into specific aspects of rhinoplasty, including tip refinement.
