Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping or reconstructing the nose to improve its appearance or function. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, such as altering the size, shape, or proportions of the nose, or for medical reasons, such as improving breathing by correcting structural issues like a deviated septum. Rhinoplasty can also address congenital defects or injuries to the nose. The procedure typically takes a few hours and is done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
