Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that changes the shape of the nose. The motivation for rhinoplasty may be to change the nose’s appearance, improve breathing, or both.

The upper portion of the nose structure is bone, and the lower part is cartilage. Rhinoplasty can alter the bone, cartilage, skin, or all three. Talk to your surgeon to see if rhinoplasty is right for you and what it can achieve.

When planning rhinoplasty, your surgeon will consider your other facial features, the skin on your nose, and what you would like to change. If you are a good candidate for surgery, your surgeon will develop a personalized plan for you.
