rhinoplasties
Cosmetic nose operations
Rhinoplasties is the plural of rhinoplasty, a surgical procedure to reshape the nose.
The surgery may be cosmetic—altering appearance for aesthetic reasons—or reconstructive, repairing damage from injury or correcting breathing problems.
Informally called a nose job: She's had two rhinoplasties and still isn't satisfied.
