Introduction

In general, it is normal for one's appearance to change after rhinoplasty, as the nose is located at the center of the face and its shape and size play a crucial role in the overall facial轮廓 and balance. Common methods of nasal augmentation include hyaluronic acid injections, autologous fat grafting, cartilage grafting, thread lifting, and implant-based rhinoplasty.

In general, it is normal for one's appearance to change after rhinoplasty, as the nose is located at the center of the face and its shape and size significantly influence the overall facial proportions and balance. Changes in appearance may include improved facial proportions, enhanced three-dimensionality, refined nasal tip shape, and better breathing function. Common methods of nasal augmentation include hyaluronic acid injections, autologous fat grafting, cartilage grafting, thread lifting (thread rhinoplasty), and implant-based rhinoplasty.

Is the result good after doing the nose?

Generally speaking, "doing the nose" refers to rhinoplasty (nasal augmentation). Whether the improvement is satisfactory after rhinoplasty mainly depends on the individual's baseline condition and postoperative recovery. If the individual has good baseline features or proper postoperative care is performed, the improvement is usually quite positive. However, if the individual's baseline condition is poor or postoperative care is inadequate, the improvement may not be satisfactory.
