Nose types and what rhinoplasty can change
This page lists the main nose types and links to a separate page for each one. Every nose is different, so the pages explain in plain words what surgery can and cannot change for each shape. The plan always starts from your photos and an examination, never from a template. The surgeon, Dr. Delioğlu, is an ENT and head and neck surgeon, so breathing is checked together with appearance, and the same operation can often address both.

Not sure which type fits your nose? Many noses combine several features, such as a hump with a wide base or a drooping tip with thick skin.
