| A
rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure performed
for the purpose of reshaping the nose. A rhinoplasty
can reduce or increase the size of your nose,
change the shape of the tip or the bridge,
narrow the span of the nostrils, or change
the angle between your nose and your upper
lip. Although there is no age limit for rhinoplasty,
the nose is near full development when the
patient is in the late teens; therefore, this
is the earliest recommended age for having
a rhinoplasty. Recovery from a rhinoplasty
generally is 2-4 weeks though some residual
swelling can remain for up to one year. |
