About rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty surgery, more commonly known as a “nose job”, is a surgery to change the shape or the size of the nose. Reasons for surgery could differ and may be due to a desire to change the shape/size of the nose for cosmetic or for health reasons, ie: breathing. 

Cromwell Hospital offers expert consultants, specialised in cosmetics and ENT surgery, with access to the latest diagnostics and technology all under one roof.

What happens during the procedure?

Prior to your surgery, your consultant and healthcare team will talk you through the procedure and answer any questions you may have. 

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthetic, and the surgery can take between 60 and 90 minutes. The surgery is usually a day case procedure, but if you require admission this will be communicated prior to the surgery. 

During the surgery, your surgeon will make an incision inside the nose, altering the bone and cartilage to achieve your desired look or to make breathing easier for you. Once the desired look and structure is achieved, your surgeon will stretch out the tissue and put stitches in place. Dressings will be placed inside the nose to prevent bleeding with a splint applied to the outside of the nose to protect, maintain the shape and reduce the swelling during the healing process.
