What is a Rhinoplasty?
A rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, can be performed for both cosmetic and functional purposes. This surgical procedure involves altering the size, shape or proportions of the nose to enhance facial balance and symmetry. Symmetry and the mathematical dimensions that make it important are emulated in plastic surgery.

- Nose is crooked or out of alignment
- Bridge of nose has depression or a prominent bump
- Nostrils are too large, upturned or asymmetrical
- Tip of the nose is pointed, upturned or too wide
- Internal structures of the nose are deviated and cause breathing difficulty

Rhinoplasty may be performed alone, but is often combined with chin augmentation to bring additional proportion to the entire facial profile. In addition to having cosmetic benefits, there are also health benefits that can help you sleep better at night. In some cases, the internal structure of the nose may also be corrected to help the patient breathe easier and reduce any nasal issues that arise from sleep apnea.
