Rhinoplasty reshapes your nose to bring harmony to your face
Rhinoplasty – Nose
Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic surgery procedure designed to reshape and restructure the nose
Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It can also help to correct a birth defect or injury, or to relieve certain breathing problems.
Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct birth defects or breathing problems.
After surgery, the patient has a straighter bridge, a well defined nasal tip, and an improved angle between the nose and upper lip.

About the Procedure
Incisions may vary depending on the type of reshaping you require. In the most common procedure, your plastic surgeon will make incisions inside and at the base of the nose. These incisions are tiny and usually invisible once healed. To improve breathing, parts of the nasal septum may be removed. Most procedures only take a few hours in our private surgical room under light general anaesthesia allowing you to return home the same day with a light dressing and splint over your nose.
The surgeon removes a hump using a chisel or a rasp, then brings the nasal bones together to form a narrower bridge.Cartilage is trimmed to reshape the tip of the nose.
If the nostrils are too wide, the surgeon can remove small wedges of skin from their base, bringing them closer together.
Trimming the septum improves the angle between the nose and upper lip.
To improve the nasal airway,the shape or position of the septum may be altered. Or, the deviated portion of the septum may be partially removed.
A splint made of tape and an overlay of plastic, metal, or plaster is applied to help the bone and cartilage of the nose maintain their new shape.
What to expect during recovery
Following a rhinoplasty procedure you will need to wear the splint for a week. Soft nasal packing may also be required, and will be removed after three to five days. You will likely experience some discomfort for the first forty-eight to seventy-two hours. However, this is easily controlled with medication. Swelling and bruising will subside in seven to ten days, and you will be able to return to work. Final swelling may take up to six months to resolve.
Your New Look
Your nose surgery will have been completely customized to you, resulting in a carefully designed nose that is proportionate and complimentary to your face. Your surgeon will have taken into account face shape, profile, physical features, and cosmetic goals.
