Rhinoplasty contributes some, but not that much, to “Your Number” by beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Francis R Palmer, III:+�-�

For all the questions, I receivce and that people have before and after their Rhinoplasty Surgery…you’d think the nose was the leading cause of attractive faces.+�-� Well, I’m afraid to break the news that the nose isn’t even in the top 5 facial features that make people beautiful!+�-�

+�-�However, a nose that has something about it that distracts the observer from focusing on the top 3 facial features will make the observer percieve your face as less attractive.+�-� Why?+�-� Because the observer can’t concentrate on your best facial features.+�-� The nose is distracting.

+�-�What causes a nose to be distracting and thereby decrease “Your Face Number”+�-� http://www.whatsyournumber.net+�-� if the nose is too long, too short, too crooked or too wide.+�-� I have to add and “too done” meaning your nose looks like it’s had a Rhinoplasty…and not a good one that leaves the nose looking soft and natural.

+�-�So, why all the fuss for a feature that can only distract from your good features?+�-� I’m not sure.+�-� Partly, becasue people don’t understand that you don’t need a perfect nose to be beautiful or handsome…just one that is sleek, refined and unobserved.+�-� What you really need to be good-looking and have a high “Face Number” are: ideally shaped cheeks, nice looking eyebrows/eyes and full lips.+�-� That’s 92 out of 100 points for “Your Face Number”.+�-� http://www.drfpalmer.com/palmer-beauty-principles.html

+�-�I think the other reason, Rhinoplasty elicits so many questions is because Rhinoplasty surgery is the most technically and aesthetically challenging Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery procedure….bar none.+�-� I’ve done Rhinoplasty Surgeries for almost 20 years and when I see patients for Revbision Rhinoplasty, I can almost tell from the looking at the outside of the nose, what was done during a previous Rhinoplasty.+�-�+�-�Oh, and let me add thois piece of advice.+�-� If your Rhinoplasty surgeon suggests something during your+�-�postop course and it doesn’t make sense to you….have him/her explain why it’s important for you to follow that advice.
