Rhinoplasty is commonly known as a ‘nose job’, is a delicate operation that changes the shape and size of the nose. It is one of the most common plastic refinement procedures carried out in the world.

 

Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most delicate and complex procedures to master, given the complex structure of the nose and the balance it provides to a face.

 

Rhinoplasty is frequently performed in combination with Septoplasty (called Septorhinoplasty) to correct a deviated nasal septum (the cartilage in the nose that separates the nostrils) causing a blocked nose and/or to harvest septal cartilage and use it as a graft to improve nasal support or shape.

 

The nose is at the very centre of the face and is the key to facial harmony and balance. Therefore, it has a great impact on how a person looks in addition to an all-important function, breathing.

Rhinoplasty is often misunderstood as a procedure where the nose can be sculpted like marble or a “perfect” celebrity nose can simply be chosen. In reality, a consultant must carefully assess the underlying nasal structure, which dictates what is achievable and suitable for each individual. The goal is enhancement, not perfection, ensuring results that complement your unique facial features.

 

If the shape of your nose affects your confidence and self-esteem, you may wish to explore nasal refinement. This is a personal decision, not a medical necessity, and having realistic expectations is essential. Trusting your consultant and feeling confident in your treatment plan are key to a successful outcome.

 

At LHCSC, we believe an honest and confidential consultation is crucial. Your consultant will provide a clear treatment plan, discuss achievable results, and explore non-invasive options if appropriate. Digital imaging serves as a valuable tool to align expectations, though it cannot guarantee exact outcomes. Instead, it fosters open communication to ensure you and your doctor share the same vision for your refinement journey.
