Who is not suitable for nose reshaping surgery (rhinoplasty)?

If you are in poor health or are unrealistic about this procedure then rhinoplasty might not be a good choice. This surgery will guarantee improvement but not perfection and you need to be aware of this difference.

If you are prone to poor wound healing, thick, angry scars called ‘keloids’ or have problems with your immune system then your surgeon may be reluctant to recommend you for surgery.

You surgeon will take these and other factors into account before making a decision.
