Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
Rhinoplasty or nose job is a surgical alteration of the nose to improve its function or to change its appearance. Nose reshaping can help to repair a nose that has been deformed by trauma or to enhance facial features. The procedure can also correct impaired breathing due to structural problems in the nose. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is a facial surgery that changes the outward features of the nose. For example a crooked nose or a hump removal. The procedure can change the size of the nose and its parts, the shape of the tip, the nostrils, and the bridge. Since there is no one perfect shape, patients can change the appearance of the nose to better suit their facial structure. Normal activities can usually be resumed two to three weeks after the surgery.
