Reasons for undergoing a Rhinoplasty
The nose is a dominant facial feature. Subtle anomalies can develop into significant issues. The nose is susceptible to trauma and may be distorted as a result. Empathetic surgery can ameliorate these problems.
Surgery
The skeleton of the nose can be remodelled by adjusting bony
and cartilaginous constituents
Anaesthetic
General anaesthetic- over night stay
Back to work
Usually within two weeks
Scars
Within the nostrils or with additional scar through the columella.
May also have scars at the base of the nostrils
Gradually fade and become barely perceptible.
