Mr. Chan's Clinic

Undoubtedly, social media has brought many benefits to our lives. The internet gives us worlds of information at our fingertips, and social media sites keep us in touch with friends and family while connecting us to so many others. However, it has made us more visually conscious too, and this in turn has led to a rising dissatisfaction with our appearance, which I will discuss further below.

Proportion is a very important element in a balanced, harmonious and aesthetically pleasing face. When an element or feature is too big or too small the visual impact can be significant and can have a detrimental impact on a person’s self-esteem as a result. The nose is one feature that comes to mind in this regard, so too do the ears, but another area that can cause concern for people is the lower face, or specifically the chin.

A rhinoplasty procedure is concerned with the bones and cartilage of the nose. Depending on the concerns of the particular patient, it can range from simple to complex surgery, and is one of the most popular aesthetic surgeries in Ireland. The procedure can address a number of issues, from removing a small bump on the bridge of the nose or reducing the size of an excessively large nose, to straightening a nose made crooked by design, by accident, or simply by nature.

A cosmetic surgeon needs to be more than a skilled hand and an expert in human anatomy. They need to be an artist too, and have a very good aesthetic eye. This is because one of the most important things in any cosmetic treatment is symmetry.
