What is Rhinoplasty?

Your nose is a prominent feature of your face that gives it its unique character. However, if you are feeling self-conscious about its shape you may be thinking about a “nose job”. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is a cosmetic procedure to reshape the nose to enhance facial harmony. This can be achieved by reducing or increasing the size, removing a hump, changing the shape of the tip or bridge, narrowing the span of the nostrils, or changing the angle between the nose and upper lip. The extent of the transformation, however, is limited by your skin type and the anatomy of your nose. check out types of rhinoplasty here.
Sometimes rhinoplasty is combined with septoplasty, a procedure that opens up nasal passages blocked by a bent septum, to address breathing difficulties in patients.
You may also qualify for a non-surgical rhinoplasty in which soft tissue fillers are used to reshape and even out the surface of the nose.

What is Nostril Widening?

It is also possible to use rhinoplasty to enlarge narrow nostrils. The procedure typically involves removing a small amount of nasal tissue. By pulling the nostrils in and stitching them back in place, the nostrils become wider and more aesthetically pleasing.

As a symptom of breathing difficulties or as an attempt to reduce airway resistance, nasal flaring can occur. Most often, these difficulties will worsen until the underlying cause is identified and treated. A severe case of nasal flaring, especially in children, may require immediate medical attention.
