Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is commonly referred to as a “nose job”. It’s a cosmetic surgery: the procedure entails reshaping the nose and improve its appearance. Rhinoplasty can be used to change the size, shape, and proportions of the nose, as well as to correct structural issues that may cause not only aesthetic discomfort, but more serious problems such as breathing difficulties.

When should you undergo a Rhinoplasty operation?
The decision to have rhinoplasty is personal that should be made after careful consideration and consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. There are a variety of reasons why someone may choose to have rhinoplasty, including:
- To improve the appearance of the nose,
- To correct breathing problems,
- To correct an injury,
- To enhance facial balance and harmony,
- Personal aesthetic reasons.
The timing of rhinoplasty surgery can depend on a number of factors, such as the patient’s age, overall health, and personal goals. In general, it is recommended that patients wait until their facial growth is complete, which typically occurs around age 16 for females and age 18 for males, before considering rhinoplasty. Additionally, patients should trust their plastic surgeons and have realistic expectations about the results of rhinoplasty.
