"RHINOS" was the Greek word for nose. Rhinoceros where named that because with their prominent horn people thought they were "NOSY" animals. In fact RHINOKEROS in greek means LARGE NOSE and THICK SKIN. Rhinoplasty means RHINO --> Nose & PLASTIKOS --> To Shape. So literally it means to "shape the nose". And thats one to grow on [;)]
