Q: The “skijump” nose - what can I do about it?

A: The “skijump” nose is usually caused by trauma, an accident or in some unfortunate cases, previous over-zealous rhinoplasty surgery.

I have recently treated a young man who suffered such a situation and was extremely embarrassed by his profile. In a male, a small, weak nose is seen as most unattractive and lacking masculinity.

Most men want a good strong nose and to achieve this we use a patient’s own tissues to build up the top of the nose, thereby producing a more handsome, defined profile. You can leave the ‘skijump’ on the slopes for the snow fields!

A strong projection to the nose can be achieved by the use of nasal grafting. To learn more about this or other procedures, please call us at the Clinic or just check out our website.
