Nose Reshaping
Can Achieve a Balanced Facial Structure
The basic techniques for cosmetic rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) have their origins in reconstructive plastic surgery. Joseph Dieffenbach, MD, a pioneer of early plastic surgery technique, took the first leap toward what we now know as modern cosmetic rhinoplasty. He did so with an operation he developed in 1845. Since then, many refinements have been added to the technique of nose reshaping. Plastic surgeons have perfected and honed their skills and continue to do so.

Because the nose is a central (literally and figuratively) feature of the human face and because it protrudes from the face, it serves as a physical and visual focal point. By refining the shape and structure of a person's nose, plastic surgery can put the person's entire face into "alignment."
