Rhinoplasty is the Latin term for the correction of the nose. In a nose correction (rhinoplasty), the shape and size are changed and brought into harmonious proportion with the other facial features. In most cases, a high nose bridge is reduced, the tip of the nose raised or narrowed, the nostrils refined, the skeleton narrowed or the septum straightened. Even after injuries, such as fractures, a nose correction may be necessary to restore the original form and function.
