Rhinoplasty is made up of the two Greek words Rhinose meaning nose and Plastikos meaning shaping and shaping. Rhinoplasty is a type of plastic surgery that is performed to improve the function of the nose (in terms of respiration) as well as to improve the appearance of the nose and is therefore considered cosmetic surgery.

This was first done by Mr. Sushruta around 500 BC in ancient India. At the time, criminals had their noses cut off as punishment. Mr. Sushruta first used forehead skin to repair his nose, and the first new rhinoplasty was performed in 1987 by Oriando through the nose.

Rhinoplasty is one of the first and most common cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of people, which is very popular in the world. During this process, the plastic surgeon changes the cartilage and bone of the nose to visualize a more desirable appearance. For men and women who are dissatisfied with the size and shape of their nose, rhinoplasty offers a safe, effective cosmetic solution when it comes to hiring an experienced and skilled cosmetic surgeon. Rhinoplasty can greatly improve the balance of facial features and help patients regain new self-confidence. Rhinoplasty can also be used to correct structural defects, including those that cause respiratory problems.
