Rhinoplasty Surgery
There are two forms of rhinoplasty surgery and these are known as reduction rhinoplasty and augmentation rhinoplasty. As the name says, reduction rhinoplasty is the procedure to make the nose smaller and the surgeon will generally make the necessary cuts inside the nostrils to reach the bone and cartilage required which results in minimal scarring, although in some cases it may require external cuts across the nostrils to reach the desired goals. On the other hand, an augmentation rhinoplasty is the procedure of making the nose larger and in many cases, this requires the addition of extra bone (from the elbow, rib, skull or hip) or cartilage (from the ears) as a graft to achieve the desired shape. It doesn’t matter which form of rhinoplasty surgery you are planning on having, you will be asked a series of questions to help the surgeon create the perfect shape for your new nose.
The procedure itself is performed under general anaesthetic and dependent on the method used, the scarring is mainly internal and will not be visible (unless and external cuts have been made to the nose).

Why choose rhinoplasty surgery?
How does rhinoplasty surgery work?
What are the results like?
The results of rhinoplasty can be significantly transformative, affecting both the appearance and function of the nose. After the surgery, individuals may experience some swelling and bruising, but these symptoms will subside over time. The final results may take up to a year to fully manifest as the nose continues to heal and settle into its new shape. It’s crucial for individuals to have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery. While rhinoplasty can enhance facial aesthetics and nasal function markedly, aiming for perfection might not be realistic.
How does rhinoplasty surgery work?
The procedure of rhinoplasty involves the modification of the bone or cartilage of the nose to achieve the desired shape or to enhance functional performance. Typically performed under local or general anesthesia, the procedure lasts between 1 to 3 hours. There are different techniques employed in rhinoplasty, such as open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty involves making incisions both inside and outside the nose, allowing for better visibility and precision during the procedure. On the other hand, closed rhinoplasty entails making all incisions inside the nose, which leads to less visible scarring and a quicker recovery post-surgery.
