What is rhinoplasty and who is a good candidate?

Rhinoplasty is surgery to modify the shape, size, or function of the nose. It is ideal for people with asymmetric noses, dorsal humps, drooping tips, wide nostrils, or breathing problems like a deviated septum. Dr. Hernández Pizzoglio evaluates each case individually to ensure natural, harmonious results.
