Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure which is usually performed by a surgeon in order to improve the function (reconstructive surgery) and/or the appearance (cosmetic surgery) of a person's nose. Rhinoplasty is also commonly called a "nose reshaping" or "nose job". Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct trauma, birth defects or breathing problems.
At one time, a "one nose fits all" approach to cosmetic Rhinoplasty was the norm with many patients having their noses "Westernized" to fit ideal of attractiveness. Today, Ethnic Rhinoplasty addresses the particular concerns of patients of varying racial and ethnic backgrounds, who wish to enhance their appearance customized to their ethnic identity.
Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. There are generally two types of nose surgery, differentiated by the way the surgeon accesses the interior of the nose. The surgeon begins the procedure by either making an incision inside the nose ( closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty); the columella is the thin strip of tissue that separates the nostrils.
