Find out why individuals change their noses, what urges them to do so, when to visit a plastic surgeon, and everything else you need to know about rhinoplasty.

What Is a Nose Job or Rhinoplasty?

The procedure that surgically reshapes the nose is called a nose job (rhinoplasty). It involves the reshaping of the cartilage and bones of the nose. It can also be used to treat functional problems such as deviated septums that affect breathing. Facial plastic surgeons perform most rhinoplasty surgeries. All noses are unique, as are the jobs performed on each one.

 

Would You Be a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a personal decision based on the desire for a different look and dissatisfaction with certain nose features. If you have one or more unwanted nasal features, rhinoplasty might look appealing to you. Here are some common reasons:

• A crooked nasal bridge or nostril.
• A nostril with a large hump.
• An angled or bulbous tip.
• A creased tip.
• A nose that’s too big or too small.
• Asymmetric nose due to injury.
• Breathing issues.
• Sinus problems.
• Facial burns.
• Nasal deformity.

Change the Appearance of Your Nose

The most common reason people consider rhinoplasty is cosmetic rhinoplasty, which entails changing the nose’s appearance. Cosmetic rhinoplasty may only involve minor changes in structure that result in visible improvements based on the anatomical structure of your nose and the look you are going for.

Breathe Better

The airflow into the nose can be blocked by injuries, genetic abnormalities, and growths inside the nose. If the passageways in the nose get altered or reshaped, it can help improve airflow through the nose. During this procedure, the structure of the nose can be designed to ensure that air can flow through the nose normally.

Enhance Your Identity

A nasal reshaping known as ethnic rhinoplasty seeks to enhance the patient’s nose without harming the distinctive nasal features typical of their ethnicity by changing the appearance while remaining true to each patient’s ethnicity. It is important to create a beautifully balanced, natural-looking nose that blends with the rest of the face, making it truly unique.

Take a look at your facial balance. Your nose needs to balance your face so that your eyes and smile stand out. Usually, rhinoplasty reshapes just the nose, but you may experience a complete transformation of your face.
