Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
Rhinoplasty is the technical name for surgery that reshapes the nose. One of the most common of all plastic surgeries, it can be done for health reasons (to correct breathing problems) but is usually done for cosmetic purposes. It can change the width of your nose, reshape the bridge or tip of the nose, or change the angle between your nose and upper lip.
What Nose Surgery Can (and Cannot) Do
As with other forms of cosmetic plastic surgery, you need to have a clear and realistic understanding of your motivation and goals for the surgery, and you need to discuss them honestly with your surgeon. Improving your appearance can’t solve all of the difficulties that you might face in life, but it may increase your self-confidence as you deal with them.
