Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is designed to enhance the nose to better compliment features of the face. Some men and women are unhappy with their nose appearance because they feel their nose is disproportionately large, crooked, has bumps or indentation, the tip of the nose is too wide or narrow, the nostrils are asymmetrical or otherwise unsatisfactory in size or shape. These are all common aesthetic reasons that people seek out Rhinoplasty, though there are also functional reasons that a person may have to seek out this Nose Surgery. When there is an obstruction in the airway of the nose, as is most often seek in cases of a deviated septum, the Rhinoplasty surgery may be performed to enhance the function of the nose. There are also cases where the motivation is both aesthetic as well as functional.
Rhinoplasty surgery may be performed using either a closed or open technique depending on the individual needs of each patient.
