Rhinoplasty, medically known as nose surgery, is a surgical procedure in which the size and shape of the nose are altered to either improve its function, such as breathing, or to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Rhinoplasty is performed to create a nose that has ideal respiratory function and is in harmony with the entire face.
The primary function of the nose is breathing, i.e., respiratory function. The main goal is to preserve and enhance this function in the best possible way. Rhinoplasty is a procedure sought for both aesthetic and health reasons. Aesthetically, people may opt for rhinoplasty because they are dissatisfied with the shape or structure of their nose. From a health perspective, rhinoplasty may be necessary if there is a condition that negatively affects respiratory function.
