Why Should You Consider a Rhinoplasty at Centre for Surgery?

There are multiple reasons why people think about getting a nose job, or Rhinoplasty, especially at our Centre for Surgery located on Baker Street in London. One of the most common concerns is that the size or shape of the nose doesn’t seem to fit well with the rest of the facial features. This might mean that the nose is too large, too small, crooked, or has some other feature that the individual finds distracting or unappealing. Fixing these issues can greatly improve how you feel about your appearance, and in turn, boost your confidence and self-esteem.

Apart from aesthetic reasons, many individuals also experience problems with the basic function of their nose—namely, breathing. Issues like a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or nasal polyps can make breathing difficult and uncomfortable. The good news is that while our surgeons are reshaping your nose to make it look better, they can also address these functional issues. This means that you can enjoy not just a nose that enhances your face, but one that also works better, making breathing easier.

Thinking About Getting a Nose Job? Here’s What You Need to Know

Before taking the plunge and deciding to get Rhinoplasty surgery, there are several key points you should consider to make sure it’s the right choice for you:

1. Do Your Research: Before setting foot in a consultation room, make sure you’re well-informed about the Rhinoplasty procedure itself, as well as the surgeons you’re considering. Look up their credentials, read reviews, and gather some inspiration images to discuss with your surgeon. Come prepared with any questions you may have.
2. Financial and Emotional Commitment: Cosmetic surgery isn’t just a financial investment; it’s an emotional one too. The first big step in your journey is booking a consultation with one or more surgeons to find the one who understands your goals best. This meeting is crucial in deciding whether you’re ready for the changes that come with Rhinoplasty.
3. 3D Imaging: At Centre for Surgery, you may have the opportunity to use our advanced 3D Imaging System during your consultation. This state-of-the-art technology can show you simulated before-and-after images of your nose side-by-side. This helps you get a better idea of what to expect from the surgery and also allows the surgeon to set realistic expectations for you.
4. Age Requirements: While it might be tempting to rush into cosmetic surgery, it’s essential to be patient. We recommend that clients should be at least 18 years old for Rhinoplasty to ensure that their facial features have fully grown and matured.
5. Your Decision, Your Life: The choice to get a Rhinoplasty should be solely based on your own desires and needs, not influenced by anyone else’s opinions. At Centre for Surgery, we use the Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) assessment tool to make sure that your reasons for seeking surgery are healthy and your own. This tool has been widely adopted across the cosmetic surgery industry to ensure patient well-being.
