Rhinoplasty (surgery to reshape the nose) can change the size of your nose (smaller or bigger), take off a hump, change the shape of the tip, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems by straightening the septum. There are so many possible ways to change the appearance of the nose that it is important that you have a specific idea of what you would like corrected.
