Rhinoplasty surgery, often referred to as a “nose job,” is designed to improve the appearance and proportion of your nose. While the shape of your nose comes from your genes, its size and appearance may have been altered in an injury or during previous surgery, or you may simply want to make it look more natural. Rhinoplasty may also correct impaired breathing caused by physical abnormalities in the nose.
Rhinoplasty surgery can change:
- Nose size, in relation to the other facial structures
- Nose width, at the bridge
- Nose profile, with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
- Nasal tip, that is large or bulbous, drooping, or too upturned
- Nostrils that are large, wide or upturned
- Nasal asymmetry and deviation
