What is Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) or Nose Tip Surgery is cosmetic surgery to reshape the nose. It is one of the most common of all cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty surgery can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) encompasses surgery on both the soft and hard (bone) parts of your nose. It is performed under general anaesthetic and takes approximately 2 hours. Dissolvable stitches are used inside the nose on completion, thus avoiding the need for removal after healing.
Reasons for getting Rhinoplasty:
Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with our consultant.
The best candidates for Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.
By re-modelling the bones and cartilage of the nose, we can achieve a subtle new shape that harmonises perfectly with the rest of the face. At the consultation, the rhinoplasty surgeon takes into account the overall look of the nose from all angles, especially the relationship between nose, forehead and chin.
