Rhinoplasty

Nose Reshaping

Rhinoplasty, often referred to as nose reshaping, is a surgical procedure designed to refine the size, shape or structure of the nose. It may be performed to enhance facial balance, improve symmetry or address structural concerns that affect breathing. Whether subtle refinement or more noticeable changes are desired, rhinoplasty can be carefully tailored to suit individual goals and facial features.

We understand making changes to your facial features is very significant and a big step to take. Our role is to guide you with care, clarity and reassurance ensuring that you feel fully informed and confident throughout the process.

Closed Rhinoplasty

In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This technique is often suitable for patients requiring more subtle adjustments to the structure or shape of the nose.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, allowing the surgeon greater visibility and precision for more detailed reshaping. Any resulting scar is typically minimal and becomes discreet once healed.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where your surgeon will take the time to understand your concerns, assess your facial structure and discuss your desired outcome. You will receive clear, honest guidance on what can be achieved and which surgical approach is most appropriate for you.

Before surgery, you will be given full instructions on how to prepare, including any lifestyle considerations that may support your recovery. The procedure is carried out in a carefully selected private hospital with your safety and comfort prioritised throughout.

Following surgery, it is normal to experience swelling, bruising and some discomfort, particularly around the nose and eyes. These effects will gradually improve over time, and you will be supported throughout with clear guidance and follow-up appointments.

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, you will be supported with clear aftercare advice, follow-up appointments and guidance as swelling settles and your results gradually develop.

Aftercare and Recovery

Recovery following rhinoplasty requires patience as the healing process develops gradually. Most patients are able to return to light daily activities within one to two weeks although more strenuous activities should be avoided until advised by your surgeon. Swelling will reduce steadily over time but subtle changes to the final shape of the nose can continue for several months. You will be given detailed instructions on how to care for your nose during healing, including guidance on cleaning, sleeping position and avoiding pressure or impact.

Follow-up appointments will be arranged to monitor your progress and provide reassurance throughout your recovery. While any external incision from open rhinoplasty typically heals very well and becomes discreet, your surgeon will also advise on scar care if needed. We understand that the healing process can feel gradual, particularly with changes to such a central facial feature. Our team is here to support you with reassurance, guidance and ongoing care, helping you feel confident and comfortable as your results develop.
