Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that involves altering the shape or size of the nose. This can be done to improve the appearance of the nose, to correct a birth defect or injury, or to help with breathing problems.

The procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon and can involve reshaping the bone and cartilage of the nose, as well as repositioning or removing skin. The goal of rhinoplasty is to create a nose that is more aesthetically pleasing and in balance with the rest of the face.

The procedure can be performed on people of all ages, but the best candidates are typically adults with fully developed noses.
