Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty is designed to improve the shape, size and general appearance of your nose. Rhinoplasty is also known as nose job. The result should look natural and enhance the balance between your nose and other facial features.

If you are considering nose reshaping you need to be fully informed about the procedure. Reading this is the first step. A confidential consultation is the best way to obtain the additional information on nose surgery you will need.

Some of the indications that you may be a good candidate for rhinoplasty are:

Your nose appears too large for your face
There is a bump on the nasal bridge
Your nose seems too wide
The nasal tip droops
The tip is thickened or enlarged
Your nostrils are excessively flared
Your nose is off-centre or crooked
Previous injury has made your nose asymmetrical

Rhinoplasty can re-contour the nasal profile, change the angle between the nose and upper lip and reshape the nasal tip. Alterations can be made to decrease the nasal bridge and reduce the size of the nose.

It is important that you have a clear idea of how you would like your nose to look and, at the same time, realise that there are limitations to the nose procedure. Patients undergo rhinoplasty because they want to enhance their self-image and are usually very satisfied with their decision.

Nose Surgery Consultation

During your consultation you will be asked to point our exactly what you would like to see improved. This will help your surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether they can realistically be achieved.

In evaluating your suitability for rhinoplasty your surgeon will assess your skin quality as well as the size and shape of your nose and its relationship to your other facial features.

Individual factors and personal preferences will determine the specific technique selected, to achieve the desired result.

In many instances, all of the incisions will be placed inside your nose, where they will not be visible. If the base of the nose is narrowed or the nostrils reduced, incisions are hidden in the natural crease where the nostril joins the cheek.

The desired result of rhinoplasty is a nose that looks natural and blends harmoniously with your other facial features. Since the healing process is gradual, you should expect to wait for up to one year to see the final results. You are likely, however, to begin enjoying your new look within weeks of your surgery. In most instances, the results of rhinoplasty or nose job are permanent, except for possible changes associated with the normal ageing process.
