Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure in which the shape and structure of the nose are altered. This can involve reshaping the bone and cartilage, or making adjustments to the nasal tip, bridge, or nostrils. Rhinoplasty at Universal Plastic Surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
