Types of Rhinoplasty Surgery

There are many types of Rhinoplasty. People might need one or more than one depending on their individual needs:

In Augmentation Rhinoplasty, a material is required to augment the nose to improve its appearance and to balance it with other facial attributes.

2. Reduction Rhinoplasty

Reduction Rhinoplasty is a nose re-sizing technique which helps in reducing the overall size of the nose or reducing the size of a specific area of the nose. In this procedure, the cartilage or bone is removed to get the desired shape of the nose.

Rhinoplasty. This surgery really needs a surgeon who has a sophisticated understanding of the nose structure and the techniques of the surgery.
