As the nose is in the center of the face, the deformities of the nose are very prominent and evident, and that is why Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery operations.

In Rhinoplasty, one or more of the following can be done :

1. Elevation of a depressed nose by adding     cartilage, bone, or silicone implant.
2.Removal of a hump.
3.Reduction of the bulk of the tip.
4.Narrowing of nasal bones
5.Elevation of the tip of the nose
6.Reduction of the size of the nostrils
7.Narrowing of the base of the nose, etc.

The incisions for reducing or recontouring the external nose are usually made inside the nose or in the collumella. There are hardly any visible marks or scars on the nose after a Rhinoplasty.

It takes about 1 to 3 hours for Rhinoplasty depending upon what has to be done. Most case of Rhinoplasty can be done as an out patient procedure without any hospital stay, the patient leaving the hospital on the day of the operation.
