Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, 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. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
You may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty if you have any of the
following conditions:
-
Your nose appears too large for your face
-
There is a bump or depression on the nasal bridge when viewed in
profile
-
The nose seems to wide when viewed from the front
-
The nasal tip droops or plunges
-
The tip is thickened or enlarged
-
The nostrils are excessively flared
-
Your nose is off-center or crooked
-
A previous injury has made your nose asymmetrical
-
You have an airway obstruction that impairs breathing

Reshaping generally is done through incisions inside your nose. In some instances, there may also be an incision on the underside of your nose between your nostrils. If the base of your nose will be narrowed or the flair of your nostrils will be reduced, this can be done by removing small wedges of skin at the base of your nostrils. The resulting scar will fade and ultimately should be barely visible. Your nose can be reduced, or built-up, by removing or adding bone and cartilage to the support structures. Your skin and soft tissues will assume their new shape over this "scaffolding."
