nosejob

Snout surgical alteration

A nosejob, also spelled as two words, is cosmetic surgery to reshape the nose—technically called rhinoplasty.

The term is informal and common in everyday speech: She's been thinking about getting a nosejob.

People get nosejobs to alter the size, shape, or proportions of the nose, whether for aesthetic reasons or to correct breathing problems.
