Could a child inherit a rhinoplasty nose from their parent?

Confusing question: A kid can certainly inherit any distinctive physical feature from a parent. If the parent chose to have a rhinoplasty to make it more cosmetically acceptable then the kid might face the same decision when they became an adult.

Inherit p/rhino: The short answer is no. I think that you are asking if an infant will have the post-surgical appearance of a nose that has been operated on? It is more that case that the infants nose will "evolve" to look like either mum or dad or a blend of both.

No: The rhinoplasty does not change your heredity.
