Modern rhinoplasty technique can accurately reshape the nose to meet the patients' needs. Usually the bridge is reduced and narrowed, and often that is all that is needed. The lower portion of the nose, the tip area, can also be tightened if it is too round, shortened if it is too long, and lengthened if it is too short. It is often elevated or rotated up a little (more often for women than men).

Rhinoplasty surgery is the area of plastic surgery that is most technique-dependent. That is to say, the surgical plan and execution varies more from surgeon to surgeon than in any other procedure. The patient needs to be careful and thorough in their search for the right surgeon for their nose. Dr. Diehl takes great pride in his rhinoplasty surgeries, and there are many more examples of his work in the office photo albums. Each one is a little "work of art". If you are considering nasal surgery, you should peruse Dr. Diehl's photo album before you decide.
