About the Rhinoplasty (nose job)
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a type of plastic surgery that changes your nose’s shape and size. Some people have cosmetic rhinoplasty to improve how their nose and face look. Others undergo functional rhinoplasty, which improves breathing and nasal function. Surgeons who perform this procedure are trained in plastic surgery or facial plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty is commonly called a nose job.
The Importance of Nose in Facial Beauty
How should an ideal nose be?
The nose is expected to look symmetrical, proportionate, harmonious with the rest of the face, and natural. A beautiful and attractive nose should be well proportioned. A nose in proportion with our face and within itself is important for facial aesthetics.
The goal of rhinoplasty is to provide the patient with a symmetric, natural-looking nose in proportion with his/her face which performs its function a healthy way. A beautiful nose will also reveal other contours of the face.

A candidate for rhinoplasty should:
- Be finished growing and in good physical health.
- Not smoke.
- Understand the limitations of nose surgery and have reasonable goals for the procedure.
