Rhinoplasty
What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is surgery to change the shape or size of the nose. It can refine the bridge, tip or nostrils, and is planned in proportion with the rest of the face.
Where breathing is affected, functional concerns can be assessed at the same consultation. The right approach depends on your anatomy and goals.
Concerns it may address
- A bump on the bridge of the nose
- Tip shape or projection
- Nasal asymmetry
- Nose size in proportion with the face
- Breathing difficulty related to nasal structure
Who it may suit
Rhinoplasty may suit adults whose facial growth is complete, who are in good general health and who have clear, realistic goals.
- Facial growth complete
- Non-smoker, or willing to stop before and after surgery
- Goals that are realistic for your anatomy
When it may not be suitable
- Facial growth that is not yet complete
- Health conditions that increase surgical or anaesthetic risk
- Smoking that cannot be stopped before and after surgery
- Expectations surgery cannot realistically meet; a surgeon may recommend not proceeding
Alternatives that may be discussed
Small irregularities can sometimes be disguised without surgery, and chin fillers may change profile balance; neither reduces size or improves breathing. Some patients also consider blepharoplasty or a facelift as part of a wider facial plan.
Consultation and assessment
Your consultation covers how your nose looks and how it works, and whether surgery is the right step for you at all.
Preparing for your consultation
- What you would like to change, and photos that help explain it
- Any breathing problems, injuries or previous nasal surgery
- Medicines and supplements, including blood thinners
- Work and family commitments during recovery
Your goals
What you would like to change, and why it matters to you.
Surgical assessment
An examination and a full review of your health, medicines and previous procedures.
A considered decision
If surgery is appropriate, the procedure, risks, recovery and alternatives are explained, with no pressure to proceed.
The rhinoplasty journey
At consultation, your surgeon examines the nose inside and out, discusses your goals and explains what may be achievable. If surgery is appropriate, the technique, risks and recovery are discussed in detail.
Rhinoplasty is performed under anaesthesia. Your surgeon will explain the type of anaesthesia, where the surgery takes place and how you should prepare.
Why plans differ
Nasal anatomy, skin thickness, breathing and facial proportions differ, so the surgical plan is specific to each person and to what can safely be achieved.
Recovery and downtime
Swelling and bruising are expected after rhinoplasty and settle gradually; subtle swelling can take much longer to resolve fully. Your surgeon will explain aftercare, follow-up and when you can return to work and exercise.
Aftercare principles
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions on sleeping position, nasal care and activity
- Avoid knocks to the nose and contact sports until cleared
- Attend every follow-up appointment
- Contact your surgeon promptly about bleeding, fever or increasing pain
Safety and suitability
Risks include bleeding, infection, breathing changes, asymmetry and dissatisfaction with the result, and further surgery is sometimes needed. These are explained in full before you decide.
All surgery carries risks, which your surgeon will explain in detail at consultation. Suitability depends on your health, anatomy and expectations, and results vary between individuals. A procedure is recommended only when it is considered clinically appropriate.
Questions,
answered.
Will my nose look natural?
Surgery is planned to suit your face rather than a template. Your surgeon will explain what may be achievable for your anatomy; results vary between individuals.
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing?
If breathing difficulty is caused by the structure of the nose, this can be assessed and may be addressed as part of the plan.
How long is recovery?
Recovery varies from person to person. Visible swelling and bruising settle first, while subtle changes continue for longer. Your surgeon will give you a personal recovery plan.
Is there a non-surgical option?
In some cases, filler can disguise small irregularities, but it cannot reduce size or improve breathing. Your surgeon will explain which approach suits your concern.
What happens at a rhinoplasty consultation?
