Well, I know you didn't come here to hear people try to convince you not to do it, because it seems that you have your heart set on it. I have had mine done due to self esteem issues too, see nothing wrong with it, and feel much better. I don't really know how effective the results are of the injection, haven't heard too much about it yet but I CAN tell you that if you go ahead with the procedure that it's a really easy experience overall, and worth it if it's a serious consideration of yours. Good luck!

its the medical term. rhino is a combining form meaning nose and plasty is the suffix meaning reconstruction (i might have this part a little wrong.) all medical words are made up of combining forms and prefixes and/or suffixes. medical terminology is a really hard course

It's greek. Rhinos means nose and Plastikos is to shape.

i think rhino referes to or is a scientific term for the nose and plasty means surgical modification i think.

Because "rhino" is latin for nose
That is why a rhinocerous is so called ... because of its horn
