nose job

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'face operation' is the definition.
'nose job' can be an answer for 'operation' (nose job is a kind of operation). I am unsure of the 'face' bit.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nose job that I've seen before include "Piece of plastic surgery" , "Rhinoplasty" , "Schnozzle surgery" , "work for boat race" , "Facial operation" .)
