What are the benefits of Rhinoplasty?

The benefits of rhinoplasty are numerous and wide-ranging. Some of these benefits can be achieved through closed rhinoplasty, but others can only be gained through an open rhinoplasty procedure. Your surgeon will be able to advise which technique will be best in order to help you achieve your goals.

Increase or decrease the size of the nose

Rhinoplasty can reduce the length and width of the nose. The septum, which acts as a divider between the nostrils, can be adjusted and reduced to reduce the overall length of the nose. This can be coupled with the adjustment or removal of cartilage at the tip of the nose. The bone can be broken and repositioned to reduce the width of the nose.

Sometimes patients are seeking an increase in the size of their nose. This can be achieved by taking bone or cartilage from the septum or another part of the body, such as the rib or ear, and using it to increase the bridge or tip of the nose.

Give the nostrils a new shape

Rhinoplasty can be used to reshape the nostrils, including reducing the size of large, prominent nostrils. Enlarged nostrils can make a nose look bigger, even if it is in proportion with the rest of the face. Nostril reduction can also help restore symmetry to the nose while giving it a more refined appearance.

Reduce the nasal tip

By removing or reshaping the cartilage at the end of the nose, a rhinoplasty surgeon can tackle problems like a bulbous nose tip. This can be done through closed or open rhinoplasty. A drooping nasal tip can also be treated with nasal tip surgery.

Reduce the bridge

This a popular request from people seeking rhinoplasty treatment. To tackle this particular issue, the surgeon removes the bone and cartilage that is causing the ‘hump’. The nose may then be broken so the remaining pieces of bone can be moved closer together to narrow the nose.

Enhance the balance and harmony between other facial features

An oversized nose which dominates the face can really throw off the balance of the other facial features. Rhinoplasty can bring this delicate balance to the face. A severely crooked nose can also cause an imbalance in the facial features.

Have a positive effect on your overall facial aesthetic

Changing the size, shape or appearance of the nose will help the overall facial aesthetic. This may mean drawing people’s attention away from the nose area, instead pulling their focus to other areas of the face.

Correct problems associated with a deviated septum

A septum which has deviated from its natural position can cause breathing problems and be prone to frequent nasal infections. Trauma or injury sustained through contact sports, such as rugby or boxing, are common causes behind a deviated septum.

Improve breathing

Functional rhinoplasty will see the nose reshaped to improve airflow and drainage. Breathing problems can interfere with sleep and cause a condition called obstructive sleep apnea. A naturally crooked nose, or one which has been damaged by trauma or sporting injury, can lead to breathing problems. Sometimes the NHS will fund rhinoplasty if it is required to alleviate breathing problems.

Improving confidence and self esteem

The nose is the central part of the face and is often the first feature people notice. If you are unhappy with the size, shape or appearance of your nose, this can have a real impact on your confidence and self-esteem. A nose job will help to provide a massive boost in confidence and self-esteem, resulting in an overall improvement in mental health.
