What is Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)?
Nose surgery, also known as rhinoplasty, is a procedure designed to reshape the nose to enhance appearance or improve function. It can correct structural defects, such as a crooked nose, a hump, or a bulbous tip, as well as address functional issues like breathing problems. Rhinoplasty is often performed for cosmetic reasons, but it can also be used to correct congenital defects or trauma-related deformities.
This surgery can create a more balanced and proportionate look to the face, whether it’s narrowing the bridge, reshaping the tip, or adjusting nostrils. Rhinoplasty is usually recommended for patients who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and have reached full facial development, typically at least 16 years old.
What Happens During Surgery?
Rhinoplasty surgery involves making incisions inside the nose or sometimes across the base, depending on the type of surgery. Through these incisions, the surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage structure of the nose. For functional surgery, the surgeon may also address the nasal septum to improve airflow and breathing. The surgery can last between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the changes.
After the surgery, the nose is carefully protected with a splint to help maintain its new shape while it heals. Swelling and bruising are common but will gradually subside over the following weeks.

Is Nose Surgery Right For Me?
Rhinoplasty offers a variety of benefits, including a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. By correcting structural issues in the nose, it enhances both aesthetics and functionality. Many patients experience improved breathing as the surgery can address any airflow blockages caused by a deviated septum or other nasal obstructions. The results of rhinoplasty are long-lasting, giving patients the confidence of a well-shaped nose for many years with proper aftercare. Ultimately, the procedure can significantly increase self-esteem, as individuals feel more confident with a natural-looking nose that complements their face.
Although rhinoplasty is generally a safe and effective procedure, there are some risks to consider. Scarring is a possibility, though any scars are typically hidden inside the nostrils or along the base of the nose, making them inconspicuous. Infection or bleeding can occur but are rare, and proper aftercare can minimise these risks. Occasionally, patients may require a follow-up surgery if the results aren’t exactly as expected, or if there are any complications that need further adjustment. Additionally, while uncommon, there can be changes in nasal breathing if structural issues are not fully corrected, requiring additional attention during recovery.
Our surgeons will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable.
