Public Comments

1. medical terminology------ rhino-nose plasty-surgery
2. i think rhino referes to or is a scientific term for the nose and plasty means surgical modification i think.
3. Because "rhino" is latin for nose That is why a rhinocerous is so called ... because of its horn
4. rhin/o is the medical term for nose.....-plasty is a suffix meaning to surgically repair.......put them together you get nosejob...
5. My Rhino needs a Nose Job!!
6. 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
7. why is breast inplants called ogmentation
8. It's greek. Rhinos means nose and Plastikos is to shape.
9. The term rhinoplasty means "nose molding" or "nose forming
10. cuz its meant for noses that look as big as a rino's horn
