Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery or cosmetic nose surgery, is a surgical procedure. It is performed to change the shape and size of the nose or to correct functional problems related to the nose.

Rhinoplasty can be done for aesthetic reasons or to address breathing problems. Aesthetic rhinoplasty is used to correct the shape of the nose, straighten the nasal bridge, reshape the nasal tip or nostrils, or improve the proportion between the nose and the face.

It's important to note that rhinoplasty is also used to correct functional issues such as breathing problems. Anatomical problems like deviated septum or enlarged turbinates can be corrected through rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes small incisions on the nose. The surgeon works on the cartilage, bone, and soft tissues to make the desired changes. The recovery process can take a few weeks, and there may be swelling and bruising in the first few days.

Rhinoplasty can be an option to enhance or correct a person's nasal structure and facial features. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, so it's important to consult with a plastic surgeon.
