DR. ABDOLLAH MALEK: Rhinoplasty is a very, very wonderful operation. It is actually one of my most favorite operations I do because it is very challenging. Rhinoplasty should be based on one principle and that is a natural looking nose. And this should be within a concentration of someone’s expectation of ethnic as well as the body contour. For example, if someone is very athletic and muscular, the rhinoplasty will be slightly different than someone who is very delicate or does not have a very heavy face.

So natural rhinoplasty has come a long way. And in the past we used to see that people walking the street and you could mark them from many feet away that they have had a rhinoplasty. Now we have rhinoplasty’s that are quite natural looking. And this procedure is done with small incisions sometimes across the base of the columella which is underneath the nose and sometimes without that. And many, many times actually we can improve the airway as well as improve their shape of their nose. So we want the nose to be natural and proportionate to the rest of the face. And also we can ask our patients to bring some photographs, give us advice where we go with that and what area we want to improve and what area we want to change.
