 No other facial feature possesses the importance of the nose. Because of its positioning right in the middle of the face, a one-millimeter change can produce an merely acceptable or quite good result, or a superior, if not spectacular, result. For this reason, nasal sculpture is complex and detailed. Over half of Dr. Weintraub’s cosmetic nasal practice involves difficult redos (i.e., secondary rhinoplasties). The goal should be conservative and understated with a less-is-more approach toward one’s own natural beauty.
The nose is composed of bone and cartilage with skin draping over these structures. Consider the most common aesthetic complaint: a dorsal hump or bump on the top with a wide, broad, globular, ill-defined, down-turned nasal tip. A down-turned nasal tip can obscure the upper lip when you’re smiling, often producing an unwanted angry appearance. The most common request is to create a neat straight line from the bridge – horizontal with the upper-eyelid blink crease – directly to a naturally sculpted nasal tip. This produces a youthful angle and happy appearance. The well performed rhinoplasty has all the elements of structural balance. It brings about a true conservative metamorphosis, always drawing your eye to the natural and graceful beauty of one's face as a whole. Dr. Weintraub’s Viewpoint: Salma Hayek Salma Hayek’s nose is beautiful: she has a well-positioned bridge, straight profile, and great tip definition. It works well with her nicely proportioned chin and jaw line. Cosmetic procedures to achieve this look include a highly detailed rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, and laser lipo sculpting to sharpen the jawline.
Dr. Weintraub's opinions should not be taken as fact or medical advice, nor has he necessarily treated this celebrity.
