The most often causes for having a nose correction are innate or trauma induced repositioning of the nasal barrier. If the repositioning is too severe it might cause breathing problems, resulting in the lack of oxygen, tiredness, sleepiness and frequent infections.
The most common nasal shape anomalies are the lack of symmetry, repositioned nasal barrier, non-aesthetical shape, a bump on the nose or a sunken nose. The goal of nose correction is the augmentation of its skeletal and cartilage base.

Apart from the procedure itself it is very important to get prepared for it, physically and mentally. A crucial thing is for the patient to fully understand all the possibilities as well as limitations of the remodeling procedure. The perfect surgeon can familiarize the patient with the exact process and the consequences of the procedure. A person deciding to have the procedure must be aware of the fact that in some cases another procedure needs to be carried out in the future in order to achieve a fully satisfactory result.
