A nose job, medically known as rhinoplasty, is an aesthetic plastic surgery to change the shape and size of the nose by reshaping the underlying nasal structure.
The surgery can restore the functioning of a damaged, broken nose and/or improve its appearance, depending on the patient’s requirements.
While many people opt for rhinoplasty to improve the look of their noses, nasal surgery was first introduced as a way to relieve issues with the sinuses or to repair an injury that has left lasting effects.
Whether it’s a misshapen nose, or a blockage of the airways, through reduction and realignment of the cartilage, it is possible to modify the nose through rhinoplasty.
