What specifically can be achieved with rhinoplasty?

As long as goals are realistic and expectations appropriate, rhinoplasty can achieve dramatic results. The nasal bridge may be shaped in a number of desireable ways. The nose may be narrowed, widened, shortened, or lenghtened, dropped, or raised. The nasal tip may be reshaped to a more aesthetically pleasing form. The dynamic function of the nose may also be improved through alteration of the external or internal valves. In summary, the nose may be improved in many ways, but clear pre-operative objectives must be set to achieve the most personal result, as beauty is very much a reflection of a patient’s perception, likes and dislikes.
