Nose Shape & Profile Balance Treatments

What Is It And Why Does It Occur?

The shape and profile of the nose play a defining role in overall facial balance. Concerns may include a dorsal hump, tip asymmetry, a wide bridge, or proportions that don’t align with other facial features. These characteristics may be present from birth or develop over time due to injury, aging, or subtle changes in soft tissue support.
While every nose is unique, small adjustments can have a profound impact on facial symmetry and confidence. For some, the concern is cosmetic; for others, it also includes functional issues such as breathing difficulty.

What Patients Typically Notice

Patients often describe that their nose feels “too prominent,” “uneven,” or “out of proportion” with their other features. Some mention that they avoid side-profile photos or feel self-conscious about how their nose appears in certain angles. Others experience both aesthetic and functional concerns, such as nasal obstruction or asymmetry following injury. The common thread is a desire for harmony — not perfection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Concerns Can Be Addressed With Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can refine the nasal bridge, tip, and nostrils; correct asymmetry; and improve breathing issues caused by internal structural irregularities.

Will My Results Look Natural?

Yes. Dr. Motakis' philosophy emphasizes refinement, not alteration. Every nose is treated as part of the whole face, ensuring results that look natural and harmonious.

Is There A Difference Between Cosmetic And Functional Rhinoplasty?

Cosmetic rhinoplasty focuses on aesthetic improvement, while functional rhinoplasty addresses breathing or structural issues. Dr. Motakis treats patients with primarily cosmetic concerns, while still helping improve their breathing. However, he does not perform septoplasties alone to address isolated functional beathing issues.

Most patients experience mild swelling and congestion for the first 1-2 weeks. Recovery progresses steadily, with results continuing to refine as healing completes over several months and up to a year.

When Will I See The Final Result?

Initial improvements are visible once swelling subsides, typically within a few weeks. However, full definition may take up to a year as the tissues settle and refine naturally.
