Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at altering the shape, size, or appearance of the nose to enhance facial harmony and proportions. It is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries globally, sought by individuals for both aesthetic and functional reasons. During rhinoplasty, the surgeon may reshape the nasal bridge, refine the tip, narrow the nostrils, or correct structural abnormalities that impair breathing. The procedure can be performed using either an open or closed technique, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the desired outcomes. Recovery from rhinoplasty typically involves swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few weeks, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides and the nose settles into its new shape.
