It can be done as a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of a facial feature or as a medical procedure to improve function. Depending on the need and goals, this surgery can provide a variety of benefits.
This procedure is not only for people who want to change the appearance of their nose, but it is also used to correct breathing problems caused by a structural congenital defect, sinusitis, or a nose injury.
