Rhinoplasty or nose job, or more commonly known as a ‘Nose lift’, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that intends to reshape the nose. The result of the procedure changes the shape and size of the nose. This is done by reshaping the tip, narrowing the nostrils, changing the angle, decreasing or increasing the bridge. If necessary, the excess skin from the nostrils can be removed and a silicone implant is injected near the nasal bone to change the shape of the bridge.

Rhinoplasty is done by those who desire to change the appearance of their nose. For many, the nose is considered as one of the most noticeable features of the face. And as the nose sometimes is the first to be noticed when you look at some, it needs special attention. Aside from wanting to look good and other aesthetic goals, a nose lift surgical procedure can also be done for reconstructive purposes for those with breathing problems and birth defects.

Here is some information that can help you see if you are qualified to have a rhinoplasty. Of course, you must be healthy, physically and psychologically – meaning you should have a good state of mind. Age is also a factor that must be considered. It is best to have nose surgery after you have completed your adolescent years or growth spurt. Experts say that girls should be at least 15 or 16 years old and boys should be a little older, around 15 years old and up.

One thing you should also consider is your expectations after the surgery. First, you should the surgery because you want it. You want it as something for yourself and not as something that other people want you to have. Yes is true that the result will make your nose more attractive and can improve your facial appearance.
