Benefits may range from improved breathing to an enhanced appearance and self-confidence. According to Dr. Sam Rizk, the nose is a central facial structure and impacts beauty and facial harmony to a large degree. The shape of the nose can give a more or less sophisticated appearance, a long or drooping nose can make a person look older, and a bulbous tip can make a person look more ethnic. Visual improvement from a rhinoplasty can be subtle in a person with a minimal deformity or more dramatic in a person with a significant deformity.
