At Centre for Surgery in London, nose jobs or ‘Rhinoplasty‘ are among the treatments we do most often. People come to us for this surgery mainly because it can make the face look more balanced. It also does wonders for boosting self-esteem.
While nose jobs are really popular, they’re not simple at all. In fact, there are loads of questions that people usually have about the process. The surgery itself can be done in many different ways, depending on what you need and want. Our expert surgeons have spent years honing their skills in reshaping noses. They use specialised techniques to make sure your new nose looks natural and fits your face well. Plus, their methods make your recovery after surgery quicker and smoother.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What Can You Achieve with Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a ‘nose job,’ offers a wide variety of benefits, both aesthetic and functional. Before going into the procedure, it’s good to have a clear idea of what changes you’re looking to make. Here are some of the specific improvements that Rhinoplasty can offer:
- Straightening the Nose: One of the most common requests is to straighten the bridge of the nose, particularly when it appears crooked from a front view.
- Facial Harmony: If you feel that your nose is not in balance with the rest of your facial features, Rhinoplasty can adjust the proportions to create a more harmonious look.
- Hump Removal: A noticeable hump on the bridge of the nose can be smoothed out to create a more streamlined appearance.
- Nostril Adjustments: Whether you feel that your nostrils are too wide or too narrow, changes can be made to better fit your aesthetic desires.
- Refining the Tip: If you find the tip of your nose too large, it can be reduced in size. Additionally, the shape of the nose tip can be modified to better match your overall facial aesthetic.
- Improving Breathing: Rhinoplasty can go beyond aesthetics and offer functional benefits, like improving your ability to breathe. For example, a septoplasty can be performed to widen the internal structures of the nasal passage, improving airflow and making breathing easier.
- Combination Approaches: Often, Rhinoplasty involves a combination of the above improvements to deliver the result that best matches your desires and needs.

What to Expect During Your Recovery After Rhinoplasty Surgery
After your Rhinoplasty surgery is done, you’ll move into the recovery phase, which is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome. Here’s what you should know about this period:
Personalised Care Instructions: After your surgery, your surgeon and the nursing team will give you a set of specific guidelines tailored just for you. These will include tips on how to take care of yourself post-op to ensure everything heals as it should.
Initial Post-Op Phase: In the first few days after the surgery, it’s hard to get a good look at the results. Your nose will be wrapped up in bandages, and you’ll probably have a splint placed inside your nostrils to support the newly-shaped structure. Don’t worry, though—during your first post-op appointment, this splint will be taken out, and you’ll be able to get a clearer view of your new nose.
Managing Pain: Pain management is a key aspect of recovery. Your doctor will provide a prescription for medication to help control any discomfort you may experience. It’s a good idea to arrange for someone to pick up these medications for you either before the surgery or on your way back home.
First Post-Op Appointment: This is usually when the splint and any stitches will be removed. It’s a significant milestone in your recovery, as you’ll finally get a better look at your new nose and discuss any concerns you may have with your surgeon.
Further Reading: If you’re interested in diving deeper into what you can do to speed up your recovery, there are plenty of tips and tricks available for you to read about.
Understanding the Risks Associated with Rhinoplasty Surgery
While Rhinoplasty can offer transformative results, it’s important to be aware that it’s a permanent and, often, irreversible procedure. Therefore, choosing the right surgeon is crucial for ensuring the outcome aligns with your aesthetic goals.
The Importance of Experience: Before proceeding with surgery, make sure your chosen surgeon has a proven track record, years of surgical experience, and successful transformations. This can go a long way in minimising risks and ensuring that you’re happy with the final result.

Reducing Risks: When performed by highly skilled specialist plastic surgeons, like the ones we have at Centre for Surgery, and in a private hospital setting, the risks associated with Rhinoplasty are generally reduced. These professionals are trained to adhere to the highest standards of surgical care, which in turn lowers the chances of complications.
Potential Risks: Despite taking all the precautions, like any surgery, Rhinoplasty does carry some risks. These can range from infection to scarring and anaesthetic complications. It’s important to have a thorough discussion about these risks with your surgeon so you can make an informed decision.
