title: Rhinoplasty.
abstract: The nose is one of a person's most noticeable features, a feature with which he or she personally identifies and by which he or she may be known and recognized by others. When there is a facial disharmony by virtue of this important feature being relatively unflattering, disproportionate, disfiguring, or dysfunctional, then surgical change can make an important contribution physically, functionally, psychologically, and socially. Rhinoplasty involves a considerable normal concern on the part of the patient and presents a very significant professional challenge to the surgeon. Both the patient and the surgeon are likely to receive a great deal of personal satisfaction from surgery well done.
