About the surgeryWhat nose surgery involves and who it suits

What is nose surgery (rhinoplasty)?

Nose surgery, also known as rhinoplasty, is a procedure designed to reshape the nose to enhance appearance or improve function. It can correct structural defects, such as a crooked nose, a hump, or a bulbous tip, as well as address functional issues like breathing problems. Rhinoplasty is often performed for cosmetic reasons, but it can also be used to correct congenital defects or trauma-related deformities.

This surgery can create a more balanced, proportionate look to the face, whether it’s narrowing the bridge, reshaping the tip, or adjusting nostrils. Rhinoplasty is usually recommended for patients who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and have reached full facial development, typically at least 16 years old.

What happens during surgery?

Rhinoplasty surgery involves making incisions inside the nose or sometimes across the base, depending on the type of surgery. Through these incisions, the surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage structure of the nose. For functional surgery, the surgeon may also address the nasal septum to improve airflow and breathing. The surgery can last between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the changes.

After the surgery, the nose is carefully protected with a splint to help maintain its new shape while it heals. Swelling and bruising are common but will gradually subside over the following weeks.

What are the benefits?

Rhinoplasty offers a variety of benefits, including a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. By correcting structural issues in the nose, it enhances both aesthetics and functionality. Many patients experience improved breathing as the surgery can address any airflow blockages caused by a deviated septum or other nasal obstructions. The results of rhinoplasty are long lasting with proper aftercare. Your surgeon will aim for a natural looking nose that is in proportion with the rest of your face, and will talk you through what is realistic for you at your consultation.

Are there any risks?

Although rhinoplasty is generally a safe and effective procedure, there are some risks to consider. Scarring is a possibility, though any scars are typically hidden inside the nostrils or along the base of the nose, making them inconspicuous. Infection or bleeding can occur but are rare, and proper aftercare can minimise these risks. Occasionally, patients may require a follow-up surgery if the results aren’t exactly as expected, or if there are any complications that need further adjustment. Additionally, while uncommon, there can be changes in nasal breathing if structural issues are not fully corrected, requiring additional attention during recovery.

Our surgeons will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable.

Your journey step by step

  1. 1

    Your first appointment

    Your journey with The Hospital Group begins with a free telephone consultation with our friendly surgeon assistants.

    Your surgical consultation

    During this consultation you will talk about your goals for surgery and go through your medical history to ascertain whether you are a suitable candidate for this procedure. You will also discuss the results you might expect, as well as the possible risks and complications of surgery. Our specialist surgeons are extremely knowledgeable, so they can answer any questions you might have.

    If you feel you would like to go ahead, you will then be referred to a clinic nurse for pre-operative assessments and tests.

    Recovery

    The surgeon will let you know whether you will need to stay in the hospital overnight. You might feel swollen and tender for a while, but this is completely normal and should settle fairly quickly. We’ll provide any pain relief you need whilst you’re in hospital.

    Your nurse will call you once you get home to make sure you feel okay and book you in for your post-operative review in the clinic when needed. We’ll also give you our 24/7 patient helpline number so that you can speak to a member of the clinical team at any time.

What happens in a nose surgery procedure?

During nose surgery (rhinoplasty), the surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage of the nose through small incisions. The procedure may involve reducing or increasing the size of the nose, refining the tip, or correcting breathing problems, depending on the goals.

Rhinoplasty may be suitable if you’re in good health, have realistic expectations, and are looking to improve the appearance or function of your nose. A consultation with a surgeon will help determine if it’s the right choice for you.

Yes, rhinoplasty can often be combined with other procedures, such as chin implants, facelifts, or eyelid surgery, to achieve a more harmonious facial appearance.

It can take up to 12 months for the swelling to fully subside and for the final shape of the nose to become apparent after surgery.

Recovery typically involves swelling and bruising for a few weeks. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery and the final results can take several months. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions.
