What is a Nose Job or Rhinoplasty?

Answer:
Rhinoplasty, more commonly referred to as a

“nose job,” is a medical procedure that can reshape the nose for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes (“rhino” is Latin for nose, and the word “plasty” comes from the Greek for molding or forming).

As well as reducing or enlarging the size of the nose, rhinoplasty can also change the shape of the tip or the bridge of the nose for a more attractive look.

Rhinoplasty can also be used to repair a nose that has been damaged as a result of an accident or one that doesn’t function properly due to a birth deformity.
