Rhinoplasty
also referred to as a nose job, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one
of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. It can reduce or
increase the size of your nose, remove a hump or bump from the bridge,
change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils,
or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. Nose surgery
may also correct a birth defect or injury, straighten a broken or crooked
nose or help relieve some breathing problems or difficulty. A septoplasty
is performed to correct a deviated septum. For a rhinoplasty to look right
for your face you need a careful clinical examination. The nose should
fit the aesthetic proportions of your face and permit the delivery of
air to the lungs without nasal airway obstruction.

through the nose. At redo surgery this was corrected by rebuilding the
cartilage framework that provides shape to the nostrils and tip of the
nose.
