What Is Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Rhinoplasty also referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure carried out to reshape the nose. It can be carried out for cosmetic and medical purposes. The surgery aims to enhance the appearance of a nose, correct deformities, and improve nasal function. This surgical method involves modification to the nasal bones, cartilage, and skin to accomplish the desired aesthetic outcomes or address breathing problems caused by structural anomalies like a deviated septum.
