Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the size and shape of the nose, creating ideal proportions to enhance the entire facial appearance. During the procedure, a septal deviation may be corrected to an extent, as cartilage is manipulated and reshaped to produce a more desirable look, but rhinoplasty is not intended to straighten a deviated septum.

Your nose is quite literally the most central aspect of your face. If you're unhappy with the shape or size, a rhinoplasty can transform your nose while still making sure it looks natural among your other facial features.

A rhinoplasty, better known as a “nose job,” is one of the most popular plastic surgeries in America. In 2015 alone, 217,979 rhinoplasties were performed for cosmetic or medical reasons.
