What this site is for
This is a patient decision guide, not a textbook. The anatomy of the nose and the way a profile is analysed sit on the Facial Aesthetic Surgery hub, and the operations themselves are described on the rhinoplasty sites. What this site adds is the part a patient has to do alone: understanding that bridge height is set by several things at once, working out whether the finding is bone, cartilage, the tip or proportion, and knowing that raising a bridge and refining a tip are different operations that are usually planned separately.
Who writes it
The guides are written by the clinical content team of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and medically reviewed by Tongchun Mao, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery, who performs this surgery here. Every page carries the reviewer's name and the date it was last reviewed. Nothing on this site is attributed to a clinician who has not read it.
What we deliberately do not publish
No prices, because a real figure depends on which parts of the nose are treated, what material is used, the anaesthetic and the facility, and a number invented for a web page misleads more than it helps. No brand names for medicines or devices, including implant materials, which are described by type rather than by name. No dosages. No claims that a particular result will be achieved, and no before-and-after images used as evidence.
The limits of a website
Nothing here can tell you how much of your profile is bone, how much is cartilage, how much is the tip and how much is the face around it. That requires an examination of the dorsum, the root of the bridge, the tip and the chin in profile — findings that take minutes in person and cannot be produced through a screen. Use this site to arrive at a consultation with better questions, and treat any answer you receive here as general information rather than advice about you.
