No: Surgical changes do not change your genetics. Children are a genetic mix of their parents. Even if a rhinoplasty corrects the family nose on you, it may be present in your children.

No: You will not “pass down” any acquired features; these include any changes that occur after plastic surgical procedures. Best wishes.
