The Effect of Rhinoplasty

Also known as nose surgery, rhinoplasty re-shapes the nose to make it more proportional and balanced with the rest of the face.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

This is a surgical procedure that can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
