What Is a Rhinoplasty?
The nose is one of the most prominent facial features; noses can be big, small, tall, wide, and everything in between. They allow us to smell and connect us to the world in a unique way. Noses also serve an important function in breathing, and if there are deformities that impede this function, reconstructive nose surgery is often the best solution. Known as rhinoplasty, and colloquially known as a nose job, this surgical procedure can restructure the nasal passages to improve airflow, but they are also often utilized for aesthetic reasons, to alter the appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty can change the shape of the nose, making it smaller, shorter, narrower, straighter and more contoured to match the natural shape and appearance of the face.
