Rhinoplasty - Nasal Surgery
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty [or commonly known as a nose job] is surgery to reshape or repair the nose.
This operation is to improve the breathing through the nose and the external appearance of the nose.
Rhinoplasty surgery is performed for a number of reasons.
These include:
- Done in association with a septoplasty and turbinectomy to improve the breathing through the nose
- To straighten a crooked nose and improve the symmetry of the nose
- To remove the hump and improve the profile of the nose
- To make the nose smaller or larger
- To improve the appearance of the nose after injury or birth defect to the nose
- To reduce the width of the nostril
Septoplasty and turbinectomy can be done in association with the rhinoplasty procedure.
Septoplasty aims to open up the nasal passages due to a bend within the midline wall of the nose.
