Surgery of the nose

Rhinoplasty can reshape your nose in a number of ways to improve its appearance and proportion in relation to your other facial features.
Although there is no upper age limit for Rhinoplasty, the earliest recommended age is the mid-teens, a time when the nose is near full development.   With older individuals, health is the primary consideration.
Reshaping is generally done through incisions inside the nose, but there may also be an incision passing across the central portion of the nose between the nostrils.  It is sometimes necessary to narrow the base of the nose or reduce the size of the nostrils.
The nose is reduced, or in some cases built up, by adjusting its supporting structures-either removing or adding bone and cartilage.  The skin and soft tissues then redrape themselves over this new "scaffolding."
