Rhinoplasty (aka a nose job) is plastic surgical operation on the nose, either for reconstructive, restorative or cosmetic purposes. “Rhinos” is the Greek word for nose and “plastikos” is the Greek work for “to shape”, so literally rhinoplasty means to “shape the nose”. Rhinoplasty involves the surgical repair of a flaw of the nose, including reshaping or resizing the nose. Rhinoplasty may be performed to change the size of the nose, change the shape of the nose, narrow the nostrils, and/or change the angle between the nose and lips. In addition, Rhinoplasty can involve reshaping of the nasal cartilages, nasal bones or both.
