The appearance of the nose is altered to correct size, shape or functional problems.
Overall size decrease/increase, hump removal, narrowing of the nostrils and correction of tip droop can be accomplished.
Septal deviations can also be corrected; if breathing difficulties are due to derangements in internal nasal structure, surgical correction may be covered by insurance.
Rhinoplasty typically takes two or more hours to complete.
This procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient.
