What are the Limitations of Rhinoplasty?

* Rhinoplasty is a very complex procedure.
* The degree and nature of existing deformity dictates what can be achieved.
* You cannot choose a new nose from a magazine
* The surgery re-arranges and changes the size of a sophisticated scaffolding - it is not like carving marble.
* Surgery must not remove so much tissue that the nose is weakened.
* Surgery must allow for limitations in the amount the skin can stretch or shrink-wrap over the new shape.
* Skin type and age as well as the degree and nature of nasal deformity influence surgical choices.
* The effects of healing cannot always be predicted
