Some are unhappy with the noses they were born with, and some with the way aging has changed their nose. How about you? If you are one of them, maybe you need nose surgery or rhinoplasty.
What is rhinoplasty? According to Wikipedia, rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure which is usually performed by either an Otolaryngologist, Maxillofacial Surgeon, or Plastic Surgeon in order to improve the function (reconstructive surgery) and/or the appearance (cosmetic surgery) of a person’s nose. Rhinoplasty is also commonly called a “nose job”. Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct birth defects or breathing problems. It can be combined with other surgical procedures.
I suggest you to know how rhinoplasty is performed and what you can expect before you do that. Find a surgeon that can provide more information about the procedure. Think about it again before make a decission.
