As one of the oldest and most common plastic surgical procedures, operations on the nose ('nosejobs') remain quite popular. It is important for the potential patient to make the distinction between nasal surgery which in directed towards the inside of the nose to improve breathing versus those operations which change the external shape of the nose to improve one's appearance. Breathing difficulties of the nose frequently require a straightening of the nasal septum which is composed of cartilage (septoplasty) which may be combined with a reduction of the lower turbinate bones (turbinectomies). Changing the shape of the outside of the nose (rhinoplasty) may involve surgery of the nasal bones (upper portion of the nose), manipulations of the cartilagenous portions of the nose (middle and lower portion of the nose), or both. Commonly, simultaneous correction of both the breathing and appearance of the nose is done if needed. (septorhinoplasty)
