One of the most frequent plastic surgery operations is rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping. Many people are dissatisfied with their nose's size and/or shape. Because the nose is so important to face equilibrium, many people choose rhinoplasty, or surgical nose reshaping, to achieve a more harmonic alignment of their features. Patients prefer to focus their discontent on the nose, even if the problem is more to do with the location of the chin or jaw. While surgical methods have progressed, the amount of change that can be made to the nose is limited. The size of the nose, the quality of the skin, and the patient's age all influence the outcome. The most essential thing is that a patient and a surgeon have a clear understanding of what is desired and what is feasible. Patients should also keep in mind that surgery will not cure any mental or social issues they may be having as a result of their nose or their overall look.
