Rhinoplasty

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgery that changes the shape of the nose.
The reason for doing a rhinoplasty may be to change the appearance of the nose, improve breathing or both.
The upper portion of the structure of the nose is bone, and the lower portion is cartilage.
Rhinoplasty can change bone, cartilage, skin or all three.
Patient has to talk to the surgeon about whether rhinoplasty is appropriate for his/her case and what it can achieve.

When planning rhinoplasty, the surgeon will consider the other facial features measurements, the skin on the nose and what patient would like to change.
If you’re a candidate for surgery, your surgeon will develop a customized plan for the specific case.
