01
Understanding the procedure
Rhinoplasty changes the shape or proportions of the nose. Planning considers the whole face, nasal structure and breathing, as well as the changes that matter to you.
02
Is it right for you?
An assessment may help with concerns about shape, asymmetry or an old injury. Facial growth, breathing and medical history influence suitability.
03
Your consultation
Bring your questions and a list of medications, allergies and previous procedures. Discuss goals, alternatives, scars, costs and aftercare. An in-person assessment is essential before confirming a treatment plan.
04
Your treatment plan
An open or closed approach may be considered. Bone and cartilage are adjusted to an individual plan; functional concerns may require additional assessment.
05
What to expect
The aim is a change that complements your facial proportions. Final definition develops gradually as healing progresses.
06
Time for recovery
Swelling and bruising are expected early on. A splint may be used and pressure on the nose restricted. Fine swelling can take many months to settle.
07
An informed decision
Bleeding, infection, asymmetry, breathing changes, scarring and further surgery are possible.
Your individual risk profile and the full consent discussion are addressed during consultation.PATIENT PHOTOGRAPHY

A little more clarity.
Can breathing be assessed too?
Yes. Tell the surgeon about obstruction, injuries and previous nasal surgery so functional concerns can be assessed.
When can I return to work?
Timing depends on the procedure, healing and your work. Agree on an individual plan with your surgeon.
How much will treatment cost?
A written estimate follows assessment and should clarify the procedure, facility, anaesthesia and follow-up costs where applicable.
General educational information. Treatment availability and suitability require confirmation with the clinic.
