Rhinoplasty

Also known as: Nose Job, Septorhinoplasty, Nasal Reconstruction

Rhinoplasty, also referred to as a ‘nose job’, is a popular procedure which can reshape the nose in different ways. Whether you are looking to reduce or increase the size of your nose as a whole, or change its shape or angle, Rhinoplasty can help. Many people opt for Rhinoplasty when they are self-conscious of a particular characteristic of their nose such as a bump on the bridge or larger nostrils.

What To Expect With Rhinoplasty

Hospital stay: Usually an outpatient procedure, Surgery time: 3 hours, Anaesthetic: General

Whether you go under a general or local anaesthetic will depend on the shape of your nose and the type of procedure required for your desired outcome. This will be discussed in your consultation.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

You may experience some pain, bruising and swelling, as well as potential nose bleeds. This may last around 3 weeks. You should take painkillers to ease your discomfort. You should have 2 weeks off work and avoid strenuous exercise for 6 weeks. However, you should be able to carry out normal everyday tasks after just a couple of days.

Rhinoplasty Risks

Rhinoplasty is a commonly performed procedure and more cases than not, are very successful. Complications are very rare however, occasionally infection may occur. Bleeding and swelling after the procedure are both normal. However, if this consists alongside pus in your wound and a temperature, this may be a sign of an infection.
