**1. Introduction**

Rhinoplasty has evolved during the past two decades. The popular trend to have a smaller nose is gradually changing to having a normal looking nose. Nowadays, functional consider‐ ations are an integral part of any treatment plan. A major effort is usually made to detect any deficits in the nasal airway before aesthetic surgery to be solved or improved by a proper treatment plan. Grafting and suturing techniques have replaced some older destructive techniques. This chapter gives an overview of current concepts in rhinoplasty; we also present logical approaches in case selection and evaluation.
