Rhinoplasty, more commonly called “a nose job”, is a surgical procedure used to reshape, contour, and adjust the proportions of the nose. This procedure is performed to straighten the bridge of the nose, reduce a bump on the bridge of the nose, alter the size or shape of the tip, or narrow the base of the nose or nostrils.
This procedure may also be a functional procedure to correct breathing difficulties due to blocked nasal passages (deviated septum). It is done by working inside the nose and nostrils to separate the outer skin from the underlying bone and cartilage. The nose is then contoured to a more desirable shape.
