Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty) Draper, UT | NuVista Plastic Surgery

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure designed to alter the shape and size of the nose for aesthetic or functional purposes. This advanced surgical technique can address multiple concerns, including:

• Modifying nose shape and size
• Straightening a crooked nose
• Reducing nasal bridge humps
• Refining nasal tip contours
• Adjusting nostril width

Functional and Cosmetic Benefits

Beyond cosmetic enhancements, rhinoplasty can correct structural issues that impair breathing, such as deviated septums or nasal obstructions. The procedure involves precise modifications to bone and cartilage, potentially including removal, addition, grafting, and reshaping techniques.
