We understand that surgery can be a cause of anxiety – even if it’s a relatively straightforward procedure. That’s why our experienced and caring medical staff will be there for you every step of the way.
Your consultant will have explored the different options with you at your previous consultations, as well as the look you want to achieve.
The most common operations are:
reducing or increasing the size of your nose. remodelling the shape of the tip, bridge and/or nostrils. changing the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
It may be possible for the doctor to operate entirely through the nostrils, which is called `closed` rhinoplasty. Sometimes they need to make a small cut, known as `open` rhinoplasty. He or she will advise you on this during your consultations. Whether you go under a general or local aesthetic will depend on the shape of your nose and which operation you choose.
The procedure usually takes up to 3 hours and you will spend a night or two in hospital.
