A friend of mine said she had rhinoplasty done, what does that mean?

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that alters the appearance and structure of the nose. It is typically performed by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon or a plastic surgeon.

There are many reasons why someone might choose to have rhinoplasty, including:

- To improve breathing: Rhinoplasty can be performed to correct structural abnormalities that affect breathing, such as a deviated septum or nasal polyps.

- To change the appearance of the nose: Rhinoplasty can be performed to change the shape or size of the nose, or to correct asymmetry. It can be used to address concerns such as a hump, a wide bridge, a drooping tip, or large nostrils.

- To repair a damaged nose: Rhinoplasty can be used to repair a nose that has been damaged by trauma or injury.

- To improve self-confidence: Rhinoplasty can help to improve a person's self-image and confidence by altering the appearance of the nose to their desired shape and size.
