Abstract
The senescent changes reflected on the nose can often be eliminated su ccessfully to lead to an approximate five years younger appearance ind ependent of other rejuvenation approaches. The aging nose possesses sp ecific features which include presence of a dorsal hump, elongation of the nose, loss of nasal support structures, dependence of the nasal t ip, and significant changes in the nasal physiology. All of these can be readily corrected as an outpatient procedure to achieve both aesthe tic and functional improvement.
