Nose Re-Shaping (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty is the most frequently performed facial procedure. The most common request is to reduce the size and shape of the nose. However, your nose can also be increased in size or straightened after an injury. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss your exact requirements in detail. Every effort will be made to meet your specific needs while keeping your nose in balance with the rest of your face. In most cases, the operation is performed through the nostrils so that visible scarring is avoided. The nose is re-shaped by re-moulding the underlying cartilage and bone. If the nose is very flat, a graft of cartilage or bone can be used to build up the size of the nose. The operation is carried out under general anaesthetic and requires a one night stay in hospital.
