Rhinoplasty
Nose reshaping surgery for form and function
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to bring it into better harmony with the rest of your face — softening a dorsal hump, refining a wide or drooping tip, or straightening asymmetry left by an old injury. It's one of the most technically demanding procedures in facial surgery, which is why our approach is built entirely around careful 3D planning before a single incision is made.
During your consultation, our surgeon evaluates your nasal structure, skin thickness and breathing function, then discusses realistic outcomes using imaging so you know what to expect before you commit. Both closed (scarless) and open techniques are available depending on the complexity of the correction needed.
Key Benefits
- Improved facial balance and profile symmetry
- Correction of breathing difficulties caused by structural issues
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Option to address bumps, width, tip shape or asymmetry in a single procedure
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Adults unhappy with the size, shape or angle of their nose
- Patients with a visible dorsal hump or bulbous tip
- Those with breathing difficulty linked to structural nasal issues
- Revision cases from a previous rhinoplasty elsewhere
What to Expect
Consultation & 3D Imaging
Detailed facial analysis and simulated outcome imaging to align expectations.
Surgical Planning
Choice of open or closed technique based on your anatomy and goals.
Procedure Day
Performed under general or local anaesthesia with sedation, typically 1.5–3 hours.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Splint removed after about a week, with staged follow-ups over the following months.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to desk-based work within 7–10 days, once the external splint is removed. Bruising and swelling settle gradually over several weeks, with the final refined shape emerging over 6–12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Discomfort is typically mild to moderate and well managed with prescribed medication. Most patients describe pressure and congestion rather than sharp pain.
Will people be able to tell I've had surgery?
Our approach favours natural, proportionate results rather than an obviously 'done' look — the goal is a nose that suits your face.
How long do results last?
Once the nose has fully healed and settled, results are considered permanent, barring significant injury.
