ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

Rhinoplasty

Is a type of nose reshaping surgery that can change the size, shape, and structure of the nose. The medical name for a nose job, rhinoplasty, is derived from the Greek: rhinos means “nose” and plassein means “to shape.” 

This type of nose cosmetic surgery is sometimes combined (and often confused) with septoplasty—the surgical correction of a deviated septum, a condition where the dividing wall between your nasal passages is crooked. A septoplasty is intended to improve breathing, while a rhinoplasty is usually performed for aesthetic reasons.
