Rhinoplasty is an operation to improve the appearance and function of the nose (nasal airways).
There are a number of cosmetic indications for surgery:
- a crooked nose
- a bump on the nose
- a broad nose
- a deformity of the tip of the nose
There are also functional reasons for surgery:
- blocked nose due to deviated septum (septoplasty)
- alar collapse (blocked nose due to a floppy side–wall or nostril)
