Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

Rhinoplasty (nose job) changes the size, shape and proportions of your nose to improve facial balance, symmetry and aesthetics. It can also correct injury, birth defects or breathing problems. This surgery is usually performed in a hospital or doctor’s office with general or local anesthesia. It may be done alone or in combination with other surgeries such as a chin implant to help create better harmony in your face.

The surgeon examines your face and nose and takes photographs from several angles. Then he or she discusses your goals for surgery and explains what rhinoplasty can achieve. If you are considering a rhinoplasty, it’s important to be honest with your surgeon about what you want to change and why. If you have unrealistic expectations, the procedure will not be successful for you.

Rhinoplasty is a common procedure that can have significant effects on your appearance and self-confidence. It is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures for both men and women. However, it’s important to remember that plastic surgeons have their own specialties and often focus on certain areas of the face when performing a rhinoplasty.
