A beautiful nose is one that complements and fits harmoniously with your face. The nose is central to facial balance and many people are unhappy with the size and/or shape of their nose (What are the ideal nose measurements?). But being unhappy with the shape of your nose is not a fate we must resign ourselves to for our entire lives. Modern nasal surgery allows us to make small corrections, from the tip of the nose to completely remodeling the entire nose (What cosmetic and medical issues can rhinoplasty correct?). People often opt for surgical nose reshaping, or rhinoplasty, to find a more harmonious alignment of their features. Many patients inquire about rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons such as to improve nose size, width, profile issues such as depressions or humps, asymmetry, and sometimes the tip of the nose.

Rhinoplasty (commonly known as a “nose job” or "nose reshaping") is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure which reshapes and sculpts the bone and cartilage within the nose while protecting the natural airflow of the nasal passage. By proportioning and shaping the nose so that it is in balance with the other features, the surgery can enhancing one’s facial harmony and boost self esteem. The surgery can also be performed to correct structural defects in the nose that that resulted from an injury, or that interfere with breathing or sleeping.

While surgical techniques are advanced, there are limitations as to how much the nose can be altered. A carefully planned and performed rhinoplasty should be subtle, attractive and natural, with improvement in your overall facial balance. Outcomes depend on the size of the nose, the condition of the skin and the age of the patient. The patient must understand nose surgery will alter the appearance of their face. The most important thing is that there is clear communication between a patient and a surgeon about what is wanted and what is achievable (What should I expect during a consultation for rhinoplasty?). Patients should also bear in mind that surgery alone will not solve any emotional or social problems they may attribute to their nose or to their appearance generally

Since nasal development is not fully complete until around 16-18 years old, younger patients may be advised to wait until at least 16 years old before having a rhinoplasty surgery for the best possible results (Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty surgery?).

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common types of plastic surgery. According to American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) more than 300,000 rhinoplasty procedures are performed in the United States each year. Thousands of men, women and children turn to rhinoplasty every year for aesthetic as well as functional issues. For many of these individuals, the results are life-changing. Rhinoplasty can create results that look natural, and blend with the contours of the face, and can have a dramatic effect on an individual's appearance.
