What is Rhinoplasty ?

Rhinoplasty is a surgery which involves reshaping or resizing the nose. As the nose is a central feature of the face, even minor changes can make a big impact. Rhinoplasty surgery is one of our most commonly performed facial plastic surgery procedures.

Our top London surgeons are fully trained in the Preservation Rhinoplasty technique which we are able to use for selected patients for extremely precise correction with minimal bruising and swelling and reduced downtime.

All rhino surgeons have special expertise in all aspects of nose-related surgery including open rhinoplasty, closed rhinoplasty, primary and revision rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty & rhinoplasty for men which can help men with any breathing problems, improve their aesthetics and attain balance in the face. You can be rest assured in having one of the very best rhinoplasty surgeons in London to manage your care from start to finish. Our specialist centre at 106 Crawford Street was recently inspected and rated by the Care Quality Commission as good across all five domains of care.

For those who are not quite ready to undertake a surgical procedure or would like to gain an idea of how a surgical rhinoplasty could look, we also offer a non-surgical nose job, otherwise known as ‘rhinofiller’.

What is non-surgical rhinoplasty?

All our plastic surgeons are on the GMC specialist register. The Royal College of Surgeons of England has an excellent information resource on cosmetic surgery.

This video below gives a detailed overview of the rhinoplasty procedure from start to finish. It has been prepared by the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery.

Rhinoplasty in 2020

Rhinoplasty as a procedure has largely been protected from excessive social media hype (excluding ‘non surgical rhinoplasty or ‘liquid rhinoplasty’ involving the injections of HA filler into the bridge of the nose to create a straight appearance on side view). The procedure has undergone continuous evolution over the course of hundreds of years into the safe and highly effective procedure it is today and especially when performed by a skilled rhinoplasty surgeon.

It is well accepted by the majority of plastic surgeons that rhinoplasty is the most challenging plastic surgery procedure to perform consistently well. The specialist rhinoplasty surgeon is considered to be one of the most highly skilled type of surgeon. In rhinoplasty surgery where the surgeon needs to think in 3 dimensions at all times, even as little as one millimetre can make the difference between a great result and an average or even poor result. The true rhinoplasty specialist plastic surgeon possesses complete mastery of the delicate structure of the nose and the ability to correct functional disturbances including disorders of breathing.

The benefits of outpatient cosmetic surgery

Trust a facial plastic surgeon

A facial plastic surgeon is trained to undertake aesthetic surgical procedures in the facial region. They are dedicated sub-specialists in all aspects of cosmetic surgery of the face. Compared with general plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons are inherently better trained to perform delicate facial procedures. The extra years of surgical training by facial specialists focused on the facial region results in an exceptionally high degree of skill.

What makes our rhinoplasty surgeons different?

Patients who choose Centre for Surgery are getting a completely different level of service compared to other providers. First of all, our surgeons are true specialists in rhinoplasty surgery. This means that they perform surgery mainly on the nose and facial region. Although they trained as plastic surgeons and are trained to perform breast and body surgery, they less frequently perform breast augmentation, liposuction or tummy tuck. Patients who choose Centre for Surgery for their rhinoplasty procedure do not do so based on price. We are not inexpensive but are reasonable and fair. Our surgeons take their time to perform surgery utilising advanced surgical techniques which are continually refined with knowledge gained from attending international conferences. Very importantly, our surgeons are ethical, 20-30% of patients are turned away – they do not need a rhinoplasty procedure!. No surgeon can guarantee results but the very high number of satisfied patients are testament to the skill of the specialist surgeons we work with. Do not choose Centre for Surgery if you looking for a bargain. Choose us if you want a surgeon with the super-specialisation by operating only on the nose and exceptionally high degree of ethics and professionalism to take care of you from start to finish.

Cost of Nose Job Surgery

Nose job cost varies based on what has been planned by the surgeon.

Centre for Surgery Primary Rhinoplasty total cost starts from around £5000 for a rhino-tip correction to £10000+ for a revision rhinoplasty. The total cost includes facility fees and anaesthetist fees. Centre for Surgery own and operate our own surgical operating theatres so there are no hidden costs.

A rhinoplasty can be performed for both aesthetic and functional reasons which often be addressed in the same procedure. Whilst restoring nasal function and correcting a deviated septum are commonly performed, by far the most common reason for nose reshaping surgery is to improve the aesthetics of the nose.

The Rhinoplasty procedure can achieve the following objectives:

• Narrow the bridge or middle third of the nose
• Reshape the nostrils by widening or narrowing
• Nose tip reshaping and refinement
• Sculpt the bridge or nasal dorsum of the nose
• Reducing the size of the nose with the removal of cartilage and bone
• Nasal profile contouring

Functional objectives:

• Rhinoplasty for noses previously damaged through trauma (car accidents, sport etc)
• Septum deviation or a bent nose
• Breathing difficulties

The rhinoplasty surgeon will take time to listen to and understand your goals for rhinoplasty. The surgeon will work with you to determine the right nasal appearance  to enhance the face overall. 3D imaging may be used to optimise this process. Any previous surgical procedures, past medical history and your general health will be assessed along with allergies and current medications taken if any.

Questions which your rhinoplasty surgeon may ask you:

• Are you generally healthy without any chronic medical conditions?
• Do you have any medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension?
• Have you had previous surgical operations and were there any complications?
• What medications are you taking currently? Do you have any allergies?
• Do you smoke or drink alcohol and if so, how much?
• What would you like to achieve from the rhinoplasty procedure?

The surgeon will use their extensive experience to suggest the type of procedure or combination of procedures to achieve the desired result. Any risks and complications will also be explained in detail. A selection of rhinoplasty before and after images can also be requested to be seen if you wish to give you a rough idea of what can be achieved with rhinoplasty surgery. These photos should be seen as a guide and no guarantee can be given about achieving a particular surgical result.

A guide to questions you could ask the rhinoplasty surgeon about:

• How do I know if rhinoplasty is right for me?
• Which is better, open or closed technique?
• I am not suitable for a surgical procedure, shall I have a non-surgical rhinoplasty?
• Will have a lot of pain after the procedure?
• What level of scarring can I expect after the procedure?
• What is the recovery period like and what should I be doing during the healing period to get optimal results?
• Am I being realistic on what I am asking to be achieved?
• With my type of concern, how many procedures have you done in the past?
• Do you have some similar before and after rhinoplasty images I can view?
• What should I do if the results do no meet my expectations?

In approximately a quarter of all consultations, your surgeon may not recommend a rhinoplasty procedure. This is testament to the ethics and professionalism which all surgeons possess at Centre for Surgery. We are a medical practice first and foremost and all clinical decision-making is fully detached from commercial imperatives.

The goal at consultation is for all patients to make the most informed and intelligent decision about a potential rhinoplasty procedure. The surgeon is there to guide that process and the consultation should be seen as a meeting between 2 experts – you and the surgeon together.

Nose job surgery or rhinoplasty is one of the most popular procedures in the UK. There are several common reasons why patients choose to have a rhinoplasty. Centre for Surgery most commonly perform aesthetic rhinoplasty surgery.

Aesthetic: the nose plays a major role in balanced facial aesthetics. For patients who are unhappy with their nasal structure, this can be corrected with am aesthetic rhinoplasty procedure.

Traumatic injuries of the nose: slips, trips and falls are common causes of injuries to the nose. To correct deformities to the nose, rhinoplasty will be required to restore the structure and function of the nose. 

Airflow through the nose: many patients experience problems with breathing through their nose and depend heavily on mouth breathing. Our surgeons have specialist expertise in correcting the airflow pathways of the nose. A rhinoplasty procedure can be performed with surgery of the partition of the nose or septum (septoplasty or septorhinoplasty) to address airflow problems.

The nose consists of both a bony and cartilaginous skeleton. The lower two thirds are composed of cartilage and the upper one third is bony. The cartilage in the lower two thirds is the same as that found in the ear cartilage. The nose is divided into two halves by a midline cartilage partition called the septum. The septum functions to as a structural support for the cartilage part of the nose to prevent it from nasal collapse. Most types of rhinoplasty when performed on Caucasian noses are for reducing the size of the nose through reduction of both the bony and cartilaginous portions of the nose.

Open Rhinoplasty

In an open rhinoplasty, a very small incision is made at the columella at the base of the nose between your nostrils. Extra incisions are made inside the nose that are very difficult to see. An open rhinoplasty results in full visualisation of the bony and cartilaginous framework. This permits a more precise correction of the nasal deformity. Open rhinoplasty is ideal for correction of the full range of nose deformities and certain types of rhinoplasty are only performed with an open technique such as revision rhinoplasty.

Closed Rhinoplasty (endonasal rhinoplasty)

In a closed rhinoplasty, also known as an endonasal rhinoplasty, the surgeon places incisions inside the nostrils. These incisions are not visible after the procedure. The disadvantage of a closed rhinoplasty include a limited visualisation and increased difficulty in surgically manipulating the nasal structures. Although not as commonly performed as an open procedure, this procedure does have a reduced recovery time and leaves no visible scars.  Closed techniques are most commonly the domain of the expert rhinoplasty surgeon and all our rhinoplasty surgeons are equally proficient in closed techniques.

Septo-rhinoplasty

A septo-rhinoplasty is able address breathing problems affecting the nose. Septorhinoplasty is commonly performed for patients that have deviation of the septum. The septum is the midline partition made of both cartilage and bone that divides the nose into two halves. An incision is made in the tissue lining the inside of the nose known as the mucosa is then gently lifted off the septum. The septum is then straightened using a variety of surgical technique including spreader grafts. The straighter septum markedly improves breathing through the nose. In addition to addressing functional problems, the aesthetics of the nose can be enhanced making a septorhinoplasty a two-in-one procedure.

Rhino-Tip correction

Rhino-tip correction is designed to address the cartilage part of the nose without any bone work being performed. Rhino-Tip surgery can be performed via both an open and closed technique though is most commonly performed with the closed rhinoplasty method to reduce visible scarring. Tip reshaping is ideal for those who do not require dorsal hump removal. Typical examples of patients who need rhino-tip correction include patients with a large boxy tip. Big tips are often rounded which is often because of thick skin. Bent or crooked tips often lead to the appearance of one nostril looking bigger than the other which gives rise to nasal asymmetry. Large nostrils can give the impression of a flattened nose when viewed front-on. Wide nostrils can be addressed with an alar base reduction. Finally the tip rotation can be an issue especially when viewed side-on including over projecting tips which give the appearance of a hook nose and under rotated tips which are less common.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty for African and Oriental noses

Patients from certain ethnic background tend to have wider and flatter noses with enlarged nostrils. Our surgeons employ specialised augmentation rhinoplasty techniques to improve structural support. It is often not appropriate to perform conventional reduction rhinoplasty methods in the ethnic nose. Cartilage can harvested from a number of sites including the ear or rib. The harvested cartilage is carefully reshaped to fit the recipient site. Alar base reduction is an ideal procedure to reduce the width of the nostrils. In some Far Eastern patients, the inner part of eyelids is webbed as it blends with the nose. Often this will also be corrected at the time of the ethnic rhinoplasty.

Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

Centre for Surgery are one of the few centres in London and the United Kingdom to use the Piezotome method of shaping the nasal bones with extreme accuracy and precision – the Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty.

The traditional method of rhinoplasty involves the use of mallets, chisels and bone files which often leads to a significant degree of bruising and swelling and what can often be a lengthy recovery. Concentrated ultrasonics emitted from a specially designed handpiece precisely sculpt the bony framework whilst respecting the nasal soft tissues. This means less swelling, less bruising, less discomfort and a quicker recovery. The technology is truly groundbreaking with significant benefit for the nose reshaping patient.

Preservation rhinoplasty

The Rhinoplasty procedure has evolved over time, away from cartilage destructive techniques to preservation of your cartilage and utilising minimally invasive surgical approaches to minimise downtime.

The preservation rhinoplasty technique means surgeons no longer need to break the nose during surgery. The dorsal height can be corrected via an internal access approach to sequentially reduce the height. This incremental approach means the nose will become smaller as the height is reduced internally and the hump will be removed. The preservation technique takes longer to perform but the benefits are often well worth the increased procedure time.

Preservation rhinoplasty can be performed through both an open and closed approach. The key feature in either technique is surgical dissection in the correct plane which can be tricky if the surgeon lacks experience. Restoration of the soft tissue architecture through the repair of ligaments which were released to access the nose helps to reduce postoperative swelling with a quicker recovery.

Approximately 1 in 5 patients will still require a traditional procedure and your surgeon will be able to advise you on the most appropriate surgical method.

Ethnic rhinoplasty aims to create a more natural appearance by modifying the components of the nose whilst simultaneously aiming to maintain harmony with your natural ethnicity. The most commonly requested enhancements include modifications of the nasal bridge, adjusting the size of the nostrils or adjustment of the angle of the nose.

Everything you need to know about ethnic rhinoplasty

Whether you choose to have a rhinoplasty because of aesthetic reasons, previous trauma or airflow problems – there are some fundamental prerequisites to make sure you get the best possible outcome from your procedure:

• Patients must be over the age of 18
• Healthy – physically and mentally
• Realistic expectations of what can be achieved
• Aware of the recovery process and the need to follow postoperative instructions

Thinking about having cosmetic surgery?

Advice on optimum preparation for surgery

You will initially be reviewed by a fully qualified consultant plastic surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty surgery. Our lead surgeons are specialist rhinoplasty surgeons and hold or have previously held NHS consultant appointments and where they regularly perform complex reconstructive surgery. This way you have the opportunity to discuss directly with the surgeon who will perform your operation (if you go ahead) your ideas, concerns and expectations about the rhinoplasty procedure. The surgeon may also inform you of the risks which may occur if you choose to travel abroad for your rhinoplasty.

As part of the consultation, the surgeon will:

• Take a full history and examine you;
• Explain what the rhinoplasty surgery involves; and
• Will offer his/her professional opinion of what can/cannot be done to achieve the ideal aesthetic outcome

Patients who smoke will be advised to stop for at least 2 weeks before the date of their nose job procedure. Smoking has detrimental effects on your circulation and is well known to slow the healing process. All medications, prescribed and over the counter will be reviewed. Aspirin and aspirin containing medicines should be stopped both before and after surgery. Aspirin and NSAIDS impair the body’s natural clotting process and may cause bleeding complications after surgery. If you require pain relief after surgery, paracetamol is advised.

What tests may I need before surgery?

• Day surgery allows for a quicker recovery with less disruption to you and your family life and also cuts the risk of hospital acquired infections.
• Day surgery is more cost-effective with no nasty hidden costs for an overnight stay.
• Day surgery procedures use local anaesthetic during the procedure which increases postoperative comfort levels.
• Day surgery procedures involve a higher level of proactive nursing care in a postoperative ward where any postoperative concerns can be identified early and therefore treated more effectively.
• Procedures performed as a day surgery have been proven to result in lower risk of postoperative complications such as bleeding or wound complications including surgical site infections.

Rhinoplasty is often performed with a number of different anaesthetic techniques.

• General anaesthesia
• Conscious sedation
• Local anaesthesia

General anaesthesia is exclusively used for rhinoplasty surgery at Centre for Surgery.

More specifically, we use TIVA anaesthesia with a flexible laryngeal mask (+ throat pack) and controlled ventilation which we believe to be the gold standard technique for rhinoplasty surgery.

Some surgeons may prefer using local anaesthetic often combined with some form of sedation. We believe shortcuts should not be taken with anaesthesia especially with a highly intricate procedure like rhinoplasty. We only use the proper equipment with fully qualified specialist anaesthetists to monitor you at all times during your procedure.

You will have a breathing tube to secure the airway and with a throat pack inserted which helps to soak up an blood or debris which often seeps down through the nose during the procedure. The anaesthetist will use a ‘controlled hypotension’ technique to minimise the amount of bleeding during the procedure using precise controlled ventilation and TIVA. Patients report very little in the way of dizziness, drowsiness or grogginess after our anaesthesia method with a very satisfaction rate. Our post-operative nausea and vomiting rate is currently nil – we have never had a single patient who has felt sick after their procedure.

All rhinoplasty procedures at Centre for Surgery are carried under a type of general anaesthetic called TIVA. TIVA stands for total intravenous anaesthesia and is the most advanced form of anaesthesia available. In our experience, patients experience fewer side effects with the TIVA technique than under traditional general anaesthesia. It also means that patients usually wake up quickly and are not required to stay overnight. They can recover in the comfort of their own home, which we believe leads to faster recovery and better outcomes.

Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed in a number of different ways: the base of the nose can be narrowed, humps on the bridge can be removed, correcting flared nostrils or even refining the tip of the nose. 

The rhinoplasty procedure will in all cases be either open or closed. The surgeon will decide in consultation with you which is the best procedure for your case. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is always performed with an open technique.

Rhinoplasty procedures require roughly 3 to 4 hours and often more for a revision rhinoplasty. During the rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon design incisions to run along your nose to facilitate access to the cartilage and bony framework of the nose. There are a number of surgical techniques for soft tissue augmentation or to smoothen surface irregularities.

The open rhinoplasty approach is favoured for optimal binocular visualisation and precise diagnosis and correction of all nasal deformities.

Closed rhinoplasty vs open rhinoplasty: 

Closed rhinoplasty – incisions will be made inside the nose

Open rhinoplasty – a small incision is performed on the area at the inferior aspect of the nose between the nostrils. This area is called the columella . An ultrasonic rhinoplasty can only be performed with the open technique.

In practice, only a very few patients will be appropriate for a closed approach as the limited exposure in a closed rhinoplasty only allows the dorsal hump to be addressed in most cases. An open rhinoplasty allows full exposure of the bony and cartilaginous framework to allow an accurate correction of the areas of concern.

After you are asleep, the bones of the nose and the cartilaginous areas will be exposed. This allows the rhinoplasty surgeon to use specialised instruments to shape the nose. Some procedures may require the use of cartilage taken from other areas of the body such as the back of the ear or even from a very small area of the ribcage. This is required for the extra support to maintain the structure of the nose. Airflow issues are corrected by ensuring the septum of the nose is straightened up. Very fine sutures will be used to close any incisions that were made. A special packing material will be placed to minimise the risk of bleeding, and a splint is worn for one week to facilitate proper healing.

Rhinoplasty continues to be among the most challenging procedures for plastic surgeons to develop consistency in. At Centre for Surgery, our careful preoperative naso-facial analysis and detailed functional assessment enables the surgeon to approach each nasal component systematically.

This patient had his first rhinoplasty in Thailand. The result was unsatisfactory as seen in the before images below. A complex revision rhinoplasty was performed. Read more about revision rhinoplasty here.

After your nose reshaping procedure, there will be bruising and swelling. In particular, the lower eyelids may look particularly bruised. This is normal and will subside with time.

What to eat to speed up recovery after surgery

To minimise the impact of the bruising and swelling, you should lie with head up in bed on a few pillows. We also highly recommend our patients to apply cold packs for the first 48 hours following the surgery to reduce bruising and swelling.

You will be discharged the same day and you can rest in the comfort of your own home providing you have a responsible adult with you for at least 24 hours. Our medical team will phone you the next morning and you will see the surgeon one week later for removal of the splint. There will then be subsequent follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and progress.

Reducing the risk of surgical site infection

Top strategies to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism

Top tips for recovery

• Avoid bending and heavy lifting
• Avoid bumping the nose
• Avoid gym activities for two weeks
• Avoid showering – take a bath instead
• Avoid blowing your nose
• Avoid hard-to-chew foods for the first week or two
• Avoid glasses for six weeks after surgery
• Avoid excessive smiling or laughing
• Avoid smoking
• Avoid high sun exposure in the first several months following the surgery as the skin on the nose will be prone to sunburn
• Sleep promotes healing so take naps when you need to

Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging cosmetic surgery procedures to perform. Complications can potentially occur with any surgical procedure, a nose job is no different. It is particularly difficult to predict healing with rhinoplasty surgery even with the best performed surgery. There are many factors which will influence healing such as the thickness of the skin, smoking status and many other factors.

At consultation, your surgeon will always take time to fully discuss the risks and complications associated with nose job surgery. By choosing Centre for Surgery for your rhinoplasty procedure, you can be confident in having highly experienced and expert surgeons to perform your procedure and manage your aftercare.
