Nose Job / Nose Reshaping
Rhinoplasty, also called plastic surgery of the nose, is commonly called “nose reshaping” or “nose job”. Rhinoplasty is a popular surgical procedure performed to improve the function (reconstructive surgery) and/or the appearance (cosmetic surgery) of a person's nose. Reconstructive rhinoplasty may correct trauma, birth defects or structural issues that cause impaired breathing. Aesthetic improvements include decreasing or increasing the size of the nose, altering the tip or bridge of the nose, and narrowing or changing the shape of the nostrils. Rhinoplasty is sometimes combined with other surgical procedures such as chin augmentation or genioplasty (jaw surgery) to obtain more balance and enhance the aesthetic results.
