nose job

Snout surgery, colloquially

A nose job is cosmetic surgery to reshape the nose, technically called rhinoplasty.

The term is casual and common: She's thinking about getting a nose job.

People get nose jobs to change size, shape, or proportion, or to correct breathing problems—though the phrase usually implies aesthetic rather than medical motivation.
