Rhinoplasty and it's Popularity

The nose highlights the silhouette of one’s face as it makes their facial profile stand out. Invariably it happens to be the top feature most patients wish they could change. Nasal aesthetics can drastically change a patient’s appearance and this is why rhinoplasty aka the ‘nose job’ is one among the most sought after procedures offered in the world of plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty can change the size, shape and position of various portions of the nose to suit the patient’s facial profile.

The nose job is commonly known just to change the external aesthetic appearance of a patient’s nose, however, rhinoplasty is not solely performed for aesthetics reasons. It can also be performed to correct functionality of the nasal bridge and improve issues like difficulty in breathing and snoring.

Rhinoplasty has tremendously grown in popularity all over the world in the last few decades (considered a normal treatment in places like South Korea). This procedure is also a highly successful and commonly popular performed for patients with an ethnic background. Over the years as medicine has advanced, a nose job has become relatively safe and easy to perform.
