Are you unhappy with the width of your nose? If so, you’ll be happy to learn that rhinoplasty can make your nose narrower. Your nose can also be made smaller and reshaped to help meet your needs. The surgical procedure involves reshaping the underlying structure, such as the bone and cartilage. The process does not involve the removal of skin or tissue. It is simply a reshaping process to help give you the appearance you seek.

If you would like to reshape and make your nose more narrow, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Manish Shah, who is a board-certified plastic surgeon at Shah Aesthetic Surgery in Denver, CO. Dr. Shah will meet with you to discuss your goals and examine your nose. He will address any concerns that you might have and outline what you can expect from a rhinoplasty to narrow your nose.

All about a rhinoplasty to narrow the nose

If you want to narrow your nose, Dr. Shah will be happy to meet with you and determine if you are a candidate for rhinoplasty. Often referred to as a "nose job," rhinoplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure that can reshape your nose to better enhance your appearance.

Functional rhinoplasty is not done to improve the appearance of your nose but instead to help with the nose’s breathing functions. The procedure reshapes your nose to help correct a nasal deformity that may have been caused by birth defects, nasal trauma, or cancer.

If you are unhappy with the shape or size of your nose, a nasal rhinoplasty surgery might be an ideal solution. It can give you an improved profile, remove any indentations or bumps, and even change the angle of the nose in relation to your mouth. Rhinoplasty can also reshape and resize your nose by reducing or reshaping the tip or making the nose narrower, so it better harmonizes the face.

Is rhinoplasty right for me?

To undergo a rhinoplasty, you should be done growing, which is after the age of 14 years in girls and 17 years in boys. Prior to considering rhinoplasty surgery, you should be in good health and have realistic expectations from the surgery. Remember, rhinoplasty creates long-lasting changes in your nose, so you must be committed to the process and the lasting results.

A rhinoplasty can change the appearance of your nose and give you a look you are dreaming about. However, you should never change your nose too dramatically. Instead, you’ll want to meet with Dr. Shah to discuss if your nose job goals are achievable.
