What is Nose Cosmetic Surgery (Rhinoplasty)?

Nose job is sculpting. It is an art in some way. It is meant to improve the appearance and proportions of nose to the whole face, though combined with other procedures it might increase the functionality of nose as well (it then would be proper call it as nose plastic surgery). It might might improve breathing functions through both nostrils if needed.

Nose plastic surgeons can increase or reduce the size of whole nose. They can accurately:

• shape the tip;
• straighten crooked nose;
• modify size and form of nostrils;
• alter the line of bridge;
• narrow wide nose to the most harmony result possible.

Even changing the angle between the tip and upper lip is not occasional. Nose reshaping can also correct defects from birth.

Rhinoplasty is performed for both men and women. Competent plastic surgeons will not recommend or even allow girls under 15 and boys under 17 years old to take nose cosmetic surgery. It is because kids or teenagers haven't got fully mature noses, and growing process could ruin the whole nose job later (Age is not really important, maturity is). We recommend younger ones use nose makeup until plastic surgery is allowed.

There are two methods surgeons use. Open technique is simpler, because surgeon makes some incisions where one of them is visible from outside. Cartilage is being then reshaped and closed thus leaving a scar. Experienced surgeons use closed technique. In this case cartilage is being totally removed and after reshaping put back into place through incisions made inside nose.
