Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
4.6 /5 (3 Reviews)
You might know it better as a nose job, but rhinoplasty surgery is the best way to reshape a broken nose, correct a deviated septum, revise those burdensome humps or angles... you get the picture. Rhinoplasty—bottom line—improves your nose, whether for the sake of functionality or aesthetic appearance.A reputable plastic surgeon can help find a nose that’s right for your face by reducing or increasing the size, changing the shape of your tip or bridge, narrowing the span of your nostrils, or changing the angle between your nose and upper lip. Let’s not forget rhinoplasty’s reconstructive purposes, it can correct a birth defect and respiratory functions.
Rhinoplasty procedures, or nose jobs, don’t have the same connotations they used to, it’s not something done by the super vain or super rich. Nose plastic surgery is becoming as common as... the air we breathe. The cost of rhinoplasty can vary, but the surgery is covered by some insurance companies, so it may be more affordable than you thought. If you are pursuing rhinoplasty to reduce or eliminate breathing problems, check with your provider to see what coverage you are eligible for.
