Rhinoplasty is a group of operations designed to improve nasal aesthetics, while preserving (or improving) nasal airflow and breathing. Rhinoplasty procedures can be undertaken for a range of reasons including:
- Change the entire size of the nose
- Correct fracture-induced cosmetic issues
- Preserve optimal functioning of the nose while improving its look, or
- Correct functional breathing defects without changing the outer appearance of your nose
Rhinoplasty surgery employs reduction, augmentation or refinement of the nose to give a balanced and proportioned nose.
