Rhinoplasty is the medical term for a nose job. The surgery will usually take 1 to 2 hours and the surgeon will decide how best to refashion the nose, from work on the septum to sculpting the tip. In the right circumstances, a rhinoplasty can dramatically improve the aesthetics of the nose and the whole face.

Rhinoplasty us requested by many people of many different ages. Not everyone is a good candidate for rhinoplasty. Careful selection of patients is critical to the successful outcome of any surgery, particularly surgery intended to enhance the appearance such as rhinoplasty surgery. Good candidates for rhinoplasty are healthy individuals whose facial growth is completed. Usually, a surgeon will advise younger patients that it is best wait until age 17 or older before undergoing this procedure, as it is preferred that the nose “finish growing” before the surgery.

If you consider rhinoplasty surgery, surgeon will do physical examination. The quality of the skin such as thickness, elasticity, and pathological condition plays an important role in assessment of the surgical possibilities.
