Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty was the second most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in 2004,

nose surgery is performed for strictly cosmetic reasons; rhinoplasty can correct
structural abnormalities, like a deviated septum, which can lead to breathing problems,
chronic stuffiness, post-nasal drip and even snoring.

asymmetry is possible. Secondary procedures may occasionally be required to refine
your results to achieve your original goal.
