Rhinoplasty vs. Similar Procedures
Unlike other facial procedures, rhinoplasty addresses both appearance and nasal function—enhancing facial balance while also improving breathing if needed.
How it Works
-
A detailed consultation explores your concerns, assesses your anatomy, and helps define the aesthetic and functional goals for your rhinoplasty.
-
We create a bespoke surgical plan designed to achieve natural, harmonious results tailored specifically for your face.
-
We guide you through a personalised pre-operative plan, including laboratory checks if needed, cessation of smoking, adjustments to medications, and tailored advice on skincare and nutrition to optimise healing and results.
The approach may be open (with a small incision across the columella) or closed (incisions inside the nostrils), depending on the complexity of the correction.
Cartilage and bone are reshaped, repositioned, or augmented as needed. In cases of functional rhinoplasty, the septum may be corrected to improve airflow.Surgery typically lasts 1.5 to 3 hours.
-
Performed under general anaesthesia in our state-of-the-art facility, rhinoplasty surgery involves fine adjustments to cartilage, bone, and soft tissue to sculpt nasal shape, refine contours, or correct structural deviations. The approach, open or closed, is chosen to ensure minimal scarring and optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.
-
Immediately after surgery, a splint helps protect and support the nose. Bruising and swelling peak in the first few days and gradually improve. Most patients resume light activities within a few days and normal routines within 1-2 weeks. Recovery includes attentive support, guidance on post-operative care, and follow-up visits to ensure healing progresses smoothly and results are long-lasting.
