Nose Surgery

Nose surgery (Rhinoplasty) is a plastic surgery method for reshaping the nose. The shape of the nose changes with age, and some use this form of surgery to correct the changes.

Typically, with aging, the nose lengthens slightly and may look more prominent. However, the changes can be more dramatic, and depend on the individual.

The common name for rhinoplasty is "nose job" and may be combined with other plastic surgery procedures for a more rejuvenated look.

As is the case with all surgery procedures, this one carries significant risks as well. Possible complications to the surgery include infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the anesthesia.
