Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is the term given for cosmetic nasal (nose job) surgery, carried out to improve the appearance and/or breathing. With rhinoplasty, the form of the nose tip can be changed, the angle between the nose and lower lip changed, the nostrils narrowed, and the nose made smaller, or bigger.

Some patients who don’t want a huge change and want to just look like themselves but have a better nose, just end up refining their nose removing the deformities associated with their nose.

Rhinoplasty is a true art form, greatly testing the skills of plastic surgeons. It’s almost a specialty in its own right, with several especially good surgeons including those particularly skilled at correcting previous nasal operations.

A rhinoplasty procedure can be done under general anesthesia or with a local anesthetic and sedation. In addition to achieving a certain aesthetic level, a rhinoplasty should preserve all nasal functions intact. So, be careful when choosing your doctor.
