Rhinoplasty creates a more pleasing nasal appearance, and is one of the most common surgical procedures. The procedure can also be used to correct breathing impairments and nasal traumas, such as a broken nose.
Performed under general anaesthesia, the procedure itself is usually performed through small incisions made inside the nostrils. Having lifted the skin from the cartilage and bone, any undesired bumps are removed using a special chisel and the nasal bridge is narrowed.
If breathing difficulties are being corrected, the septum will be adjusted. Also, the shape of the nasal tip is altered using internal stitches or existing cartilage, in order to keep the new profile in proportion.
