The changes made during rhinoplasty can be subtle or significant, depending on the goals of the procedure. Some patients may only want a small adjustment to the shape of their nose, while others may want a more dramatic change. The procedure can alter the size, shape, and proportion of the nose, and can also improve the appearance of the nostrils, the bridge, and the tip of the nose. Some of the most common goals of rhinoplasty include: • Reducing the size of a large nose • Straightening a crooked nose • Reshaping the tip of the nose • Correcting a deviated septum • Improving breathing problems
