One is that the shape of the nose itself does not follow the graceful contours of the unoperated upon nose. Instead, there can be irregularities such as hard angles or depressions. Of more concern is that the nose can look out of balance with the rest of the face. While growing up in Los Angeles, Dr. Teitelbaum recalls an old time Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who "gave everyone the same nose." In fact, in some circles socialites would point out someone as having "A Dr. So and So nose." White or black, Middle Eastern or Northern European, everyone was given the same nose.

A beautiful nose does not draw attention to itself. It should certainly have a beautiful form. But Dr. Teitelbaum believes the goal of a rhinoplasty is also for the nose not to get noticed. "Nose jobs" all too frequently look obvious, much to the chagrin of conscientious plastic surgeons who deliver natural results to their patients day in and day out.
What sets a plastic surgeon apart from the rest is not just the ability to create a beautiful nose; it is also the artistic sensibility to shape the nose so that it works in harmony with the patient's unique facial anatomy. Dr. Teitelbaum customizes each rhinoplasty to balance the rest of the facial features, making it blend so well that no one will know.

But often when we describe someone as having beautiful eyes we are referring to our ability to actually see their eyes. Dr. Teitelbaum is careful to make your nose look better, but not to allow it to divert attention from your eyes.
