Every year, tens of thousands of people who are interested in improving the appearance of their noses seek consultation with facial plastic surgeons. Some are unhappy with the nose they were born with, and some with the way aging has changed their nose. For others, an injury may have distorted the nose, or the goal may be improved breathing.

Undesirable features of the nose include big bumps, large nose, short nose, flat nose, bent nose and bulky nasal tip.
