What this site is for
This is a patient decision guide, not a textbook. The anatomy of the nose and the way a face 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 a tip is made by cartilage and skin together, working out whether the tip or the bridge is what actually bothers you, and knowing that thick skin changes what is realistic.
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What we deliberately do not publish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, whether a graft is needed, 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. No dosages. No claims that a particular result will be achieved, and no before-and-after images used as evidence, because the result in one nose does not predict the result in yours.
The limits of a website
Nothing here can tell you how thick your skin is, how your cartilages are shaped or how much of a change they will show. That requires someone to feel the tip, move the skin, examine inside the nose and look at the whole face 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.
