Broad Nose Rhinoplasty at Centre for Surgery: Improving Appearance and Functionality
Broad nose reduction surgery, also known as wide nose rhinoplasty, is a procedure aimed at narrowing a wide or broad nose by cutting and reshaping the nasal bone. This form of nose reshaping surgery is becoming increasingly popular in the UK, as the nose plays a critical role in a person’s confidence and interaction with others due to its location in the centre of the face.
At Centre for Surgery, we understand the importance of having a nose that both looks great and functions properly. That’s why our wide nose rhinoplasty procedure is designed to improve your appearance, boost your self-confidence, and correct any functional issues that may be present.

Narrowing a broad or wide nose – the benefits
Narrowing a broad nose through rhinoplasty has various benefits, including improving the nose’s aesthetic appearance and functional ability.
Firstly, the procedure can significantly enhance the overall appearance of the face by reshaping and resizing the nose, bringing it into proper proportion with other facial features. An unattractive nose can draw attention away from other features, such as the eyes and lips, so improving the nose can have a positive impact on a person’s overall appearance and self-confidence.
Furthermore, the surgery can address functional issues such as nasal obstruction, which can improve breathing and overall quality of life. Narrowing the nose can also create a more sculpted and pleasing appearance, enhancing facial harmony and balance.
Overall, the benefits of narrowing a wide or broad nose through rhinoplasty can extend beyond just aesthetic appearance to also improve breathing and overall quality of life. With the help of a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, this procedure can have a significant positive impact on a person’s confidence and daily life.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Narrowing a Wide or Broad Nose?
It’s important to note that while narrowing a wide or broad nose can enhance your appearance, it’s not a solution for everyone. It’s essential to consult with a specialist to evaluate whether you are a good candidate for the surgery.
Generally, candidates who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations and are unhappy with the appearance of their nose may be suitable candidates for the procedure. Other factors to consider include having a wide and flat nose, unequally proportioned facial features, an asymmetrical nose, and wanting to improve the appearance of the nose.
Additionally, those who experience functional issues like nasal obstruction that impair breathing may also be good candidates for surgery.
You should be at least 18 years of age before having a consultation at Centre for Surgery. Ultimately, consulting with a specialist London rhinoplasty surgeon is essential in determining your eligibility for the procedure and ensuring that you have a realistic goal regarding the improvement of your appearance.

What to Expect before Wide Nose Surgery
Centre for Surgery, located in London, is committed to providing its patients with the best possible care when it comes to surgical procedures. One of the procedures offered by Centre for Surgery is the wide nose rhinoplasty, which involves the narrowing of a wide or broad nose.
The first step in this process is an initial consultation, during which your surgeon will discuss your goals for the procedure and evaluate your eligibility for it. During this consultation, you will also be given an overview of the wide nose rhinoplasty procedure, including its benefits and risks. It is important to be completely honest with your surgeon about your expectations and goals for the surgery, as this will help ensure that your desired results are achieved.
In some cases, it may be determined that other associated procedures should be performed at the same time as the wide nose rhinoplasty to achieve the desired results. These may include traditional cosmetic rhinoplasty, tip rhinoplasty, nostril reduction surgery, and medically necessary septoplasty surgery.
Your general health will be evaluated before the procedure to ensure that you are a good candidate for surgery. You may also be asked to stop certain medications a few days or weeks before the procedure and embark on a nutrition plan to ensure optimal healing and results.
At Centre for Surgery, we believe in providing comprehensive care to our patients from start to finish. We will guide you through every step of the process, including pre-procedure preparations, the procedure itself, and post-operative care. Our goal is to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your results and enjoy improved confidence and self-esteem following the procedure.
Procedure and Recovery
Narrowing a broad nose is a surgical procedure that requires careful consideration and a skilled surgeon to achieve the desired outcome. It is not a minor surgery and should be performed only by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
At Centre for Surgery, our surgeons perform major nose surgery under general anaesthesia to ensure that patients remain comfortable and free of pain. Local anaesthesia mixed with adrenaline is also used to minimise bleeding during the surgery. The local anaesthetic is administered once the patient is unconscious to reduce any discomfort.
There are two types of nose surgery: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty is usually preferred when the nose requires significant reconstruction or shaping of bone. This approach provides greater access to the inside of the nose. Closed rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is done without any scars on the outside of the nose and uses incisions only inside the nostril. This approach is usually used for minor nose reconstruction or working on thick skin or removing excess nose cartilage.

To narrow the width of the nose, the nasal bones are cut and moved towards each other. This procedure is known as an osteotomy. The surgeon carefully reshapes the bone structure to create a more natural and proportionate nose. The procedure may also involve removing excess tissue, such as cartilage, to achieve the desired result.
The recovery process after narrowing a broad nose is typically comfortable for the patient. After the surgery, a nasal cast is applied to ensure proper healing. The cast is typically removed after five days. Patients are advised to remain in close contact with their surgeon to prevent any healing complications, avoid heat injuries such as saunas and using heaters that are too close to them, limit physical exertion, and keep the nose above the heart. Patients should also follow the prescribed course of rehabilitation procedures by their surgeon and avoid any activities that may cause trauma to the nose for 2-3 weeks. Eating well and prioritising nutrition is also important during the recovery period.

BROAD NOSE RHINOPLASTY FAQS
Why do some people have a wide nose?
The width of a nose can be determined by genetics, and certain ethnic groups may have wider noses as a common trait. A short nasal bridge can also make a nose appear wider. Additionally, injury or trauma to the nose can result in a wider nose.
What can be done about a large nose?
A nose job, or rhinoplasty, is an effective and permanent solution to reduce the size of a large nose. The procedure involves breaking and reconstructing the nasal bones.
What is the ideal nose shape?
The perfect nose shape depends on the individual’s face and features. There are various opinions on what makes a nose aesthetically pleasing, but it is essential that the nose and chin work together harmoniously.
How much can a nose job change a face?
As the nose is a central feature of the face, even a small change can have a significant impact on the appearance and harmony of the face. A nose job can have a lasting effect on a person’s appearance.
Is nose job surgery painful?
Most patients do not experience significant pain after a nose job, but tenderness and pressure can be felt due to nasal blockage. Pain management options can be discussed with the surgeon in advance, and a prescription for pain relief can be provided.
Is a nose job safe?
Rhinoplasty is generally safe, with rare serious complications such as bleeding, infection, or anesthesia allergies that can be treated effectively.
Can a nose job make a nose smaller?
A nose job can effectively make a nose smaller if it is disproportionately large in proportion to the face.
Does the nose get bigger with age?
Yes, the nose can get bigger with age as the cartilage and bones continue to grow and shift over time.
Can you get a free nose job?
The NHS does not cover the cost of a nose job as it is typically a cosmetic procedure. However, if the procedure is done to correct breathing issues, private insurance may cover a portion of the cost.
Is getting a nose job worth it?
A nose job can boost confidence and provide natural-looking results, making it worth it when the goals are realistic and well-planned.
