Individuals turn to rhinoplasty for both cosmetic and medical reasons.

Rhinoplasty is far more frequently performed for cosmetic reasons. Some of these reasons for a nose job include:
- A nose that is too large in comparison with the size of the head and the other facial features
- Less frequently, a nose that is too small in relation to the rest of the face
- A bump or hump on the bridge of the nose (the bone that runs down the top of the nose)
- A line or dent in the bridge of the nose
- A rounded or bulbous tip to the nose
- A nose that is crooked or bent
- A nose otherwise misshapen or out of proportion
