How Is The Decision Made On Nose Shape?

Then I perform a detailed nose examination from all sides. In line with the expectations of my patients and the findings from the examinations, I do a simulation study to predict the possible nose shapes that can be achieved after the operation, and then we determine the most suitable nose shape for our patients by discussing with them.
