What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or a ‘nose job’, is a very popular cosmetic procedure. Reshaping of the nose can alter the balance and proportions of the whole face, changing the way you look and the way you feel about your appearance.

If you’re unhappy your nose has a hump, is too long or wide, or perhaps contributes to breathing problems, nose surgery could help. It can also be combined with septoplasty, a procedure that straightens the nasal septum. One of the leading cosmetic surgeons we work with can advise you about reshaping your nose for the result you want to achieve.

Say yes to a new look. Get in touch with us if you want to know more about nose surgery or book a free consultation to find out whether it’s the right option for you.

What are the benefits of nose surgery?

The aesthetic look of your nose can be enhanced with rhinoplasty surgery. You may want to have a more evenly proportioned nose shape with a profile that complements your other facial dimensions and structure; this could be a smaller or straighter nose. These cosmetic changes can help with your self-confidence in your everyday life.

Another benefit of nose surgery is that it can help to relieve breathing difficulties you may have and restore nasal functionality.

Are there any risks?

All surgical procedures pose a potential risk, and it is important know what these are before you go ahead so that you can weigh them up against the benefits your procedure could bring. During your consultations you will talk through these potential complications and you can ask any questions that you have about them.

As a guide, they may include slight nose bleeds, pain, an altered sense of smell and temporarily blocked nose.

Is it right for me?

People choose nose surgery for all sorts of reasons. Only you can know what the impact is of having a nose that you feel is not the right shape or is too big. If your nose is holding you back and impacting your self-esteem, then it may be time to consider this procedure.

You may decide that you are ready to have nose surgery if you are conscious or unhappy with your nose size or shape, would like to correct an injury or damage that has occurred to your nose, snore loudly or have trouble with your breathing because of your nose.

It is very important to be sure about what you like and do not like about your nose, and what you want to change. Your surgeon will be able to provide advice so that any surgery carried out on your nose looks as natural as possible.

To undergo this surgery, we would recommend you have a healthy BMI, have no serious health conditions, have realistic goals for surgery and that you feel mentally ready for the procedure.

Shaunie Blackburn

The Hospital Group were the friendliest people I could have found. I went and visited a few surgeons and a few hospital groups, but The Hospital Group seemed to have the most qualified surgeons. And they were just so lovely, so welcoming, they let me think about everything. They’re really good people.

FAQ

Nose Surgery FAQs

More FAQs

How long does nose surgery take?

‘Nose job’ surgery normally takes around two hours under general anaesthetic.

How long will I have to stay in hospital?

You’ll normally need to stay in hospital overnight after nose surgery.

Can I decide the shape of my new nose?

At your consultation, you can discuss what you want to change about your nose with the surgeon. You can agree what size and shape nose you would like to achieve. There are many considerations to be taken into account and these will be discussed during your consultation with your surgeon.

Will I have scars following a nose job?

Many plastic surgeons perform rhinoplasty from within the nose, making their incision inside the nostrils so scarring is undetectable. Occasionally an open procedure (operating on the outside of the nose) is more suitable, especially in complicated cases. This may leave very fine scars.

What happens after a rhinoplasty?

After your rhinoplasty surgery is completed, you will have a plaster cast that is applied in the operating theatre. It is important that this plaster cast is not removed for a period of at least 7-10 days.

Next steps

Your journey step by step

Your first appointment

Your journey with The Hospital Group begins with a free telephone consultation with our friendly surgeon assistants. During this conversation you can talk through why you are interested in surgery, how much it costs, how much recovery time you will need, and potential surgery dates. Whenever you decide to book a surgery date, you can secure it for a minimum refundable deposit of £500.

If you would like to proceed, we will book your surgical consultation.

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.

The surgery

You will see your surgeon on the day of your surgery so that you can talk through any final questions and read through the consent form. The whole surgical team will be introduced to you before heading into theatre for the procedure.

The specifics of the surgery will be discussed prior to the day – you will find out how long it will take, the types of anaesthetics used, and they will talk you through the procedure itself.

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.

Aftercare

At The Hospital Group, we offer a full package of aftercare support with all our cosmetic surgery procedures to give you complete peace of mind. You’ll benefit from the following aftercare: unlimited post-op appointments with a member of our clinical team whenever you need them, surgical cover for 2 years – revision surgery where clinically indicated, additional days’ stay in hospital when needed, additional medication and dressings at no extra cost, and emergency telephone support which you can use at any time.
