This is one of the most frequently requested types of cosmetic procedure. It is a surgical procedure which reshapes and realigns the nose either to repair injury or to correct a deformity which may be hereditary.

This is the main anatomical objective, but, it must be remembered that the benefits may extend way beyond this in terms of enhanced self-image, greater pose, and confidence and improved performance. It is appropriate for males and females after the age of puberty.

The nose is a very important facial feature. Although this operation is anatomically straightforward, it requires the most meticulous of surgical skills, and the aesthetic anticipation and perception of an artist, in order to form a ‘new nose’ that will blend in and harmonise with the whole face, and give natural and individual results.

Through rhinoplasty many problems can be reduced or corrected - long noses can be shortened, crooked noses straightened, bumps and hooks removed, wide noses can be narrowed, bulbous tips removed, nostrils made smaller, etc. It is important to realise that drastic changes to the nose are not desirable, for various reasons. For instance, the underlying bone structure may not permit it, or the potential result may not harmonise with other facial features, and therefore, would look unnatural.
