Overview
Expert nose reshaping surgery tailored to your facial proportions and personal goals
Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically demanding and artistically nuanced procedures in plastic surgery. Every nose is unique, so every rhinoplasty is planned around the individual, with the goal of producing a shape and size that sits in natural proportion with the rest of the face.
Surgery can address a dorsal hump, correct deviations or asymmetries, refine the nasal tip or improve overall balance and projection. Where breathing is also a concern, functional corrections can be incorporated into the same procedure.
Our surgeon works closely with each patient to understand their goals and set realistic expectations for what is achievable. The result should enhance your features and boost your confidence, while remaining true to your own natural appearance.

What to expect
Your treatment journey
- 1
Consultation
Your surgeon listens carefully to your goals, assesses your nose and facial proportions, and explains what rhinoplasty can realistically achieve for you. Any functional concerns about breathing are also discussed.
- 2
Surgery
The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic. Your surgeon reshapes the underlying bone and cartilage through carefully placed incisions to achieve the agreed result.
- 3
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and bruising are expected in the first weeks. The nose continues to refine and settle over several months, with the full result becoming clearer as healing progresses. We will see you at regular intervals to monitor this.
Aftercare
Avoid blowing your nose and strenuous activity in the weeks following surgery. Protect the nose from knocks and direct sun exposure while healing. Any splint or packing will be removed at your follow-up appointment. Swelling will gradually resolve over a number of weeks, with the final shape becoming more defined over several months. Attend all follow-up appointments so your surgeon can track your healing and answer any questions.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What can rhinoplasty correct?
Rhinoplasty can reduce a dorsal hump, refine the tip, correct deviations and asymmetries, adjust overall size and proportions, and in some cases improve nasal breathing. Your surgeon will advise on what is achievable for your specific anatomy.
How long does it take to see the final result?
There will be noticeable swelling and bruising in the first few weeks. The nose continues to refine gradually, and the final shape becomes clear over several months as residual swelling fully resolves.
Will the result look natural?
Our goal is always a nose that suits your individual facial proportions, so the result looks like the best version of your own nose rather than a generic surgical outcome. Achieving that requires careful planning and honest conversation about what is realistic for your anatomy.
Can rhinoplasty also improve my breathing?
Yes. If you have breathing difficulties related to a deviated septum or other structural issue, functional corrections can be incorporated into the same procedure. This will be discussed in detail at your consultation.
Is rhinoplasty suitable for everyone?
Rhinoplasty is best suited to adults whose facial development is complete. A thorough consultation is essential to establish whether surgery is the right option for you and to set realistic expectations for what can be achieved.
How much does rhinoplasty (nose job) cost?
Pricing depends on the procedure and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
