Rhinoplasty, also known in the medical field as "nose job," is a surgical procedure performed to improve or enhance the appearance and functionality of the nose for aesthetic and functional reasons. Suitable candidates are individuals who meet specific criteria. However, the condition of each candidate should be evaluated by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Specialist. Generally, suitable candidates include:

1. Individuals who have reached physical maturity: Candidates for rhinoplasty should be 18 years of age or older, as the nose development and maturation of bone and cartilage tissues are complete.
2. Aesthetic reasons: Those who are dissatisfied with the shape or size of their nose may consider rhinoplasty to improve or enhance its appearance. Undesirable features in areas such as the nasal shape, nasal tip, nasal bridge, or nostrils can be addressed.
3. Functional reasons: Rhinoplasty can address not only the appearance but also breathing issues and other functional aspects of the nose. People seeking rhinoplasty for functional reasons may have problems like nasal congestion or deviation.
4. General health status: Rhinoplasty candidates should be in good overall health for the surgery. Individuals with chronic health conditions or significant medical complications may be at risk for the operation.
5. Realistic expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations regarding the results they will achieve after rhinoplasty. The surgery does not guarantee an ideal nose shape but can help achieve a better version of the existing nose.
