Rhinoplasty Surgery

What is
Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty enhances facial harmony and the

proportions of your nose. It can also correct impaired
breathing caused by structural defects in the nose.
Rhinoplasty surgery can change:
o Nose size in relation to facial balance
o Nose width at the bridge or in the size and
position of the nostrils
o Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on
the bridge
o Nasal tip that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping,
upturned or hooked
o Nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned
o Nasal asymmetry
