Nose Reconstruction

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery. When chosen as an elective procedure, surgeons aim to correct an incongruence of the nose and face. A disproportionate shape, size or position of the nose in relation to the dimensions of the face is the most common reason for this surgery.

In addition to cosmetic reasons, rhinoplasty is performed to alleviate airway obstructions that impair breathing.
