Rhinoplasty is basically a surgical nose job. Its an operation where a surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage of your nose to change it's size, shape, or sometimes how it works for breathing. Surgeons either make the cuts inside your nostrils (closed) or a small cut across the columella (open) to lift skin and access the underlying structures. Then they might remove, add to, or rearrange cartilage and bone to get the look or function youre aiming for. ([turn0search23], [turn0search9])

Surgery carries risks: bleeding, infection, anaesthesia reactions and healing issuesSpecific rhinoplasty risks can include breathing changes, asymmetry, and in rare cases deformities if too much structure is removed. ([turn0search38])Having an experienced surgeon and good aftercare reduces risks
