The cosmetic surgery used to correct, and/or improve the appearance of one’s nose, is known as rhinoplasty. Commonly referred to as a “nose job” or nose surgery, a rhinoplasty is often used for cosmetic purposes as an enhancement to one’s most prominent facial feature and can boost a patient’s self-confidence. Rhinoplasty can also be used to treat a variety of health-related issues, such as obstructed breathing or abnormalities in the structure of the nose
The entire rhinoplasty procedure can take anywhere from 3 to 4.5 hours, depending on a patient’s unique needs. More complex cases with anatomical abnormalities will be on the longer side, possibly extending up to 5 hours.
