A rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is actually a face makeover in some sense, which enhances one’s overall facial appearance since the nose is a person’s central and most noticeable facial feature. Any alterations on it may have a significant impact on the entire face. For example an extra-large nose makes one’s eyes look beady and very close together, causes the lips to appear to be thin, and the chin weak and receding. By merely altering this one facial feature i.e. the nose, all other features appear to have been realigned. Here are some of the most common reasons why prospective patients want to undergo a rhinoplasty.

- Nose is too long in comparison with the size of the head. To correct this problem, a rhinoplasty surgeon would remove the excess portions of bone, skin and cartilage to reshape the skeletal components into an appropriately proportioned shorter length.

- Extremely wide and flattened out. This shape may be corrected by making the current bone and cartilage structure sleeker and more suitable for the individual.

- Nostrils too far apart. This problem may be corrected with a few stitches and may be done in conjunction with a more extensive procedure. The ideal nostril shape is oval or teardrop shaped.

- Crooked. This problem is often the result of an accident that has broken the nose bones and has caused the skeletal structure in the nasal region to twist into a crooked realignment. In such cases the surgeons need to re-break the bones in order to straighten them.

- Bump in the bridge. Bumps in the bridge’s skeletal system are removed and straightened using the re-sculpting process of repositioning and removal.

- Hooked nose. The hooked nose is corrected by altering the bones and cartilage and creating a more appealing profile.
