If you are in good health and have realistic expectations about the result you can obtain, you could be a good candidate of rhinoplasty. Patients usually want to reduce the size of their nose, remove bumps, change asymmetrical features, fix flared nostrils.. It is important that the patient has reach full growth in theirs nose prior to surgery, so most patients would need to be at least 18 years of age prior to surgery.

The rhinoplasty surgery is done using the open or the closed technique. Using the open technique, an incision is made at the bottom of the nose across the nostrils. This method generally provides a better view of the nasal skeleton and therefore improved accuracy with contouring. For twisted noses, and post rhinoplasty deformities, the open technique is considered the better option. In contrast, the closed method requires an incision in the lining of the nostrils, and the great advantage of this technique is that visible scarring can be completely avoided. Once the incision is made, your surgeon will remove and re-arrange cartilage, and possibly break and remove certain parts of the bone in order to create the most flattering nasal contour. The incisions will then be closed, gauze will be packed into the nose, and a splint will be applied to the operated area.

As with all cosmetic surgery, there are some risks involved. Risks associated with cosmetic nose surgery include excessive bleeding, tears to the nose, collapse of the bone pyramid, airway obstruction, and infections.  Our operating suite is state-of-the-art, and we do everything we can to minimise the risks associated with surgery. Most importantly, your surgeon and his team have comprehensive safety protocols in place to prevent complications from occurring.
