Rhinoplasty

You may become famous if you have a particularly distinctive or handsome nose, or you may be deeply embarrassed if you do not. Seldom does a profile go completely unnoticed. If you are not happy with your particular profile, you might consider a surgical procedure called rhinoplasty.

During rhinoplasty surgery, a skilled cosmetic surgeon can reshape your nose to give it a more attractive appearance. Typically, the surgeon will take into consideration the other prominent parts of your face, your forehead, and chin, to ensure that you end up with a proportionate appearance. When seeking a full-face makeover, rhinoplasty surgery is often performed with other facial enhancement surgeries such as facelifts, otoplasty, and blepharoplasty.

Rhinoplasty is an extremely popular procedure, even among men. According to the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, more than 70,000 men had nose reshaping performed in 2007, making it the number one cosmetic surgery for men. Social stigmas that used to be tied to cosmetic procedures are waning and subsequently, rhinoplasty and other cosmetic enhancements are gaining in popularity.
