Rhinoplasty is also referred to as a ‘Nose Job’ and involves the restructuring and reshaping of the nose.

This procedure can improve the definition of the nose, producing a more balanced and symmetrical appearance to the facial features, bringing the facial profile more in proportion.

A misshapen nose can often feel unattractive to the affected person. The reason for this concern is generally down to genetics, but injury or trauma can alter the nose’s natural form and may also cause functional disruption.

When considering making changes to the appearance of the nose, Rhinoplasty can improve and change the shape of the bridge, tip or nostrils, as well as the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Where the procedure is of a reconstructive nature, it can see effective restoration of the shape and functions of the nose, and can also be successful in correcting concerns related to breathing.

An internal approach, or ‘Closed Rhinoplasty’, sees an incision made inside the nose, so the cartilage and bones can be reduced and / or repositioned before using dissolvable stitches to close the wound. If the nose requires augmentation, cartilage can be used to achieve this. Rhinoplasty will commonly require the removal of excess tissue, bone or cartilage and a repositioning of the skin.

A more modern technique is the external approach, or ‘Open Rhinoplasty’, that sees an incision being made across the columella (the part of the nose that runs from the tip to the base) in order to access the inside of the nose so alterations can take place. This approach will require both internal dissolvable stitches and external stitches to close the wound. The main advantage to this technique is better visualisation, and therefore, better precision in the execution of the procedure. A Splint will need to be used to steady the nose during healing, which will be secured with tape for additional support.

Through a full and thorough pre-operative assessment, Mr. Marando will address your individual concerns and consider your desired outcomes, tailoring an effective procedure option that will best fit with your needs and determine the type of approach he will utilise for the operation.

A general anaesthetic is most often used for the Rhinoplasty procedure. It is normal to experience the nose feeling or being blocked for up to 2 weeks post surgery, and you will need to take every precaution to avoid sneezing. Keeping your head as upright as possible will help with the healing process, which may take up to 6 weeks, seeing full results within 6 – 12 months.
