The rhinoplasty aims at restoration of nose in harmony with the rest of the face. Many a time patient come with demands like " Make my nose like the one in this photograph" showing the picture of film stars. It is to be noted here that this is not possible and the nose can only be made to look appropriate with the face. Those who understand this fact and are realistic about their expectations will get good result.

In general, following types of rhinoplasties are done.

• Reduction rhinoplasty tries to make a prominent, big nose more symmetrical.

• Augmentation rhinoplasty tries to increase projection of a flat or depressed nose.

• Tip surgery tries to refine the tip making it sharper.
• Reducing the nostrils.
• Correction of a deviated septum. Septum is the curtain like structure between two sides of the nose. A deviated septum can create functional problems.

This can be tackled by procedure called septorhinoplasty.
