Rhinoplasty (Nose Re-Shaping)

Your nose is the second most prominent feature on your face, next to your eyes, and its size and shape may be the most obviously defining characteristic of your face, meaning a large or crooked nose can often cause people to feel self-conscious.

Rhinoplasty is an overall term used to describe a range of surgical procedures, which may be used to re-shape the nose, or correct nasal deformities to relieve blockages. Cosmetic rhinoplasty or a “nose job” usually refers to surgery which reshapes the cartilage, bone and sometimes soft tissues of the nose, to produce an appearance more pleasing to the person, whilst maintaining correct function of the nose.

Nose surgery can increase or reduce the size of your nose, straighten a lump on the bridge of the nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip.

There are limitations however, and it does not allow you to choose a new nose from a magazine!
The operation can be performed under a local anaesthetic; although some people are given sedation via an intravenous drip, or a general anaesthetic may be used. The operation can take between 1 and 2 hours, although depending on the extent of the procedure, it may take longer. Most people find that they can go back to work one to two weeks after surgery, and it will take several weeks before normal activity can be resumed, and the person feels like himself or herself.

Private costs for nose surgery can range from approximately £2,000 - £3,500, (depending upon the type of surgery required).

Please note that all clinics offering cosmetic surgery should be registered with the Healthcare Commission, as they need to follow certain standards for the safe provision of cosmetic surgery and receive regular inspections to ensure that National Minimum Standards are met.
