The goal of rhinoplasty surgery, or nose surgery, is to change the shape of the nose to be more aesthetically pleasing. In some cases, it may involve improving the function of the nose by relieving airway obstruction. Each procedure is tailored to the individual patient preferences and goals. It may simply involve subtle alterations to the nasal tip or removal of a dorsal hump (bump on the bridge of the nose). It could also be more complex with straightening of a crooked nose or more significant alterations in nasal shape.
