Nose re-shaping
The purpose of rhinoplasty (nose re-shaping) is to reshape the nose to give a more desirable shape or to relieve blockages in the nostrils.
What does the procedure involve?
The surgery can be carried out under local or general anaesthetic depending on the extent and type of work to be carried out. There are a number of procedures that can be used by surgeons to reshape the nose so the method and technique used will depend on the result you will want to achieve.
Open and closed surgery can be performed on the nose. Open nose operations involve the surgeon making cuts outside the nose whereas closed surgery involves cuts being made inside the nose.
During surgery an incision is made in or around the nose to separate the soft tissue that lies on top of the nose from the bone and cartilage underneath. The surgeon will then break the nose bone and reposition it or reshape the cartilage. If the nose needs building up, then cartilage from other parts of the body such as the ear, rib or different part of the nose are grafted and used.
What are the benefits and what are the risks?
Benefits
If rhinoplasty is performed for cosmetic reasons then a more pleasing shape should be acquired. However it is worth noting that the surgeon can only work with what you already have, in terms of bone and cartilage structure, which may limit the extent to which you can alter the shape of your nose.
If surgery is undertaken for functional reasons such as the removal of obstructions, then your breathing should be improved.
Risks
Nasal Bleeding is common after surgery but is not usually deemed to be a risk, and infections are rare. The main problem is that some people are not totally happy with their new nose, as the “perfect” shape is not always achievable. Some irregularities with the shape however do subside over time and it may take up to a year for the final shape to “emerge”. As a result secondary surgery should not be considered until after this time.
Is it the right procedure for me?
It is recommended that girls wait until they are at least 14 years old and boys 16 years old until they have rhinoplasty, as the nose may not be fully developed until they reach this age and it may therefore change shape slightly. Most people who undergo rhinoplasty for cosmetic purposes usually do so because they feel that their nose is too large for their face; the nose is crooked; they have a bump on the nasal bridge; or nostrils are excessively flared.
Certain procedures may also interfere with your breathing, so this will become a consideration when deciding whether to go ahead with surgery.
How long does the procedure take?
Surgery takes approximately two hours depending on the extent of the work.
What happens after surgery?
After surgery a splint is generally applied to the nose, for about week, whilst the bones “set”. The nose will be packed with medicated gauze which may be removed after a couple of days and you will be shown how to change these should you experience bleeding. Any internal stitches will not need to be removed as they are self absorbing. You will experience some discomfort for several weeks following surgery, including swelling, bruising and stuffiness. You may even have black eyes if the nasal bones are fractured. You may have to take up to two weeks from work and any sports or activities that may risk injury to the nose will have to be avoided for a couple of months.
How much is it likely to cost?
Prices may vary between £4,000 and £6,000

my nose has been reshaped 6 times is it possible to be done again
We have asked one of our pannel of experts, Chrissy from MYA Cosmetic Surgery. “After 6 attempts I would be very cautious. The more surgery you have, the more scar tissue develops. Sometimes the expectations that we have cannot be met and maybe you will have to re assess the situation. My advice would be to go back to your original surgeon, speak to him and listen to what he has to say.”
Hi there I am 21, and I have been thinking about having plastic surgery on my nose for about 6 years. I model and I am very conscience about my nose. I would like to make it a bit smaller. I am part african part european I would like a nose that suits me. Do you have an expertwho could help in this area at all.
I look forward to hearing you.
Hi Lydia,
Yes we do have surgeons that specialise in that area. You would need to have a consultation. These are free with MYA. To book in call 08000 14 10 14.

I am very interested in have rhinoplasty - please can you advise if there are any surgeons who specialise in this operation in or near Cornwall.
Also, would you advise against going abroad for this procedure?
Thanks
Hi Tracey,
Our experts would advise that you go on to the BAAPS/BAPS website and search for a plastic surgeon within that area. Always ask the important question “How many Rhinoplasty’s how you performed?”
Regarding going abroad they would advise against this as surgery does not end when you leave the hospital. There should be follow up care for at least 1 to 3 years. Hope this helps!

I’m interested in a rhinoplasty to fix a bump on the bridge of my nose and reduce the tip to make it less long. How much does this usually cost?
Hi Josh
Thank you for contacting MYA Cosmetic Surgery.
The procedure you are enquiring about is called Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping).
This is a simple procedure, which is done with a general anaesthetic and an overnight stay in hospital.
You would need approximately ten days away from work and 4-6 weeks away from the gym.
At MYA we offer free consultations, with a very experienced cosmetic surgeon, only this way can we give you the correct information and see if your expectations can be achieved.
The full costing is £3,950, which includes all hospital, surgeon, anaesthetist and 3 years aftercare fees.
We also offer competitive rates if you are considering finance.
Call on 08000 141014 to make that first step and meet a member of the MYA team at a clinic closest to you.
Hope this helps!

Hi! my name is Lydia, i live in asia.
I’m a medical student and i wish to get my nose reshaped.
My nose is not oversized but the bridge starting near the eyes is too short and my nose tip is not sharp.
Is it possible for me to reshape my nose the way i want?
and i need to know how much it would cost.
Please reply me as soon as possible.
Hi Lyd,
Only a surgeon can tell you what can be achieved.
Is very easy to know what you would like, but in reality there are limitations.
The cost of nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) is £3,950, this includes all the surgeon, hospital, anaesthetist and 3 years aftercare fees.
You must stay in the UK for 6 weeks post operative.

My problem is that I am only dissatisfied with a very small area of my nose - the tip.
When I smile, the tip of my nose goes a long way down, and almost meets my top lip!! I am very concious of it on photos,even though it’s something very small.
If I could “sandpaper” the nose tip in an upward motion that would solve it in 5 mins!!!
Is there an op to get something as minor as this done? If so what is the cost, and how long will it take/ what’s involved etc…
Hi Rebecca,
You would need to come in for a free consultationand see a surgeon. He would be able to tell you exacly how long it would take and what would be involved.

My nose is straight, but long from tip to face, so i havelong nostrils which i’ve always hated. Can this be changed and how much would it cost approx?
HI Kate,
We offer free consultations, with an experienced surgeon, who will advise you.
By reducing the nostrils only, he has to see what effect this would have on the rest of the nose and face.
He needs to understand your expectations.
The cost is from 3,450 to 3,950 pounds.
Hope this helps!

Hi
Im thinking of having my nose slightly reshaped. From the front it looks fab but from the side has a slight bump, this I would like to correct. I also would like breast enlargements. I am a 32B but wouls like to go up to C or D cup. Is it possible to have them done at the same time? I don’t want to have to take too much time off work. Do you have any special deals/prices for a 2 in 1 opp!? How soon would I be able to have this surgery done? Would I have to travel far to have this surgery done?
One last question? How soon after surgery would I be able to try for a baby? Is it possible to breast feed a baby after implants?
Hi Mia,
Yes it is possible to have both procedures done at the same time. By doing this you would save money. You could easily go to a C or D cup size. Most women can easily go up 2 cup sizes without a problem. In terms of travelling, we use hospitals in London, Manchester and Doncaster and are planning to expand on this very soon. Breast feeding is safe after having breast implants however you will need to discuss some more detail at a consultation. MYA offers a free initial consultation and also a free consultation with a surgeon.
Hope this helps!

Is there an age limit to rhinoplasty?
Hi,
You need to be 18 years old and over.
As long as you are fit and healthy and your expectations can be met it should not be a problem!
Sophie
MYA seems to have a great range of financial options to choose from, depending on individual circumstances. Do you ever consider unemployed persons who can show that they have savings from which they can pay low monthly repayments until such time as their circumstances improve, i.e start work again, with the option to increase the monthly repayments thereafter?

For finance you would need to call 08000 14 10 14.

Is it possible to have rhinoplasty to fix a deviated septum that causes breathing difficulties as well as cosmetic surgery to improve the shape of the tip, the bridge and size at the same time? Roughly how much would this cost and would there be any side effects apart from the ones mentioned (stiffness etc) Am planning on coming for a consultation just wondered how much of what I expected was possible before I got there. Thanks!
Hi Claire,
At your consultation our MYA surgeon will be able to help you make an informed decision.
The procedure is called Septo Rhinoplasty.
The time it takes to do this is longer than a straight forward rhinoplasty.
The cost includes surgeon fee, anesthetist fee, hospital fee and three years aftercare.
£4,950 inc.
Your consultation is free so call 08000 14 10 14 to book in.

I have been considering nose reshaping for a number of years, the only thing i am not happy with is the tip of my nose which is a prominent and noticeable bubbly at the end. What would be involved and what is the recovery time?
Hi Danielle,
Depending on the size of the tip would determine the refinement.
The correction maybe done internally or with a tiny incision near the nostril.
One week to ten days is enough off work. We would advise that you come in for a free consultation. That way all your questions can be answered. Call 08000 14 10 14.

I have had three rhinoplasties and I am still not happy with the look of my nose. I had a deviated septum and tried to have it straightened but formed a callous at the side of my nose afer the first operation. When the surgeon during the second operation tried to file down the lump, he cut the skin so I also had scarring. It has now all healed up and two years on I would like to look at having the straight nose I have always wanted. Do you have an expert in nose re-shaping in your clinic? I can provide photos if necessary. I look forwad to hearing from you.
Hi Jane,
Yes we do have surgeons that specialise in this area. You would need to have a consultation. These are free with MYA. To book in call 08000 14 10 14. Bring the pictures with you. You will have to inform the surgeon that you have had 3 rhinolpasties previously as this may concern him.

jon simon on 23.09.2007 at 16:17 (Reply)
Hi I’m very interested in getting rhinoplasty done on my nose but the only problem is that I don’t being under general anaesthetic, and that’s what is putting me off having the surgery done on me. However I was researching the rhinoplasty procedure and I noticed that most of the plastic surgery websites said that a local anaesthetic can be done, on some rhinpoplasty procedures if the patient is only getting the tip of his nose done, but I want my whole nose corrected and a bump to be taken out of my nose. So I was just wondering if this could be done by local anaesthetic and if being under general anaesthetic can be avoided? As I would probably get the rhinoplasty surgery if I could have it done that way.
Thank you!
Hi Jon,
We do not encourage this as it can be stressfull and very uncomfortable for you. You would need to have a consultation with a surgeon. Anaesthesia is very safe today. It is simply like going to sleep with a specialist keeping an eye on you!
At MYA this is consultation is free. Call 08000 14 10 14 to book in.

I am interested in having several procedures done: nose job, breast implants/lift, etc but I would also like to lose about 20-30 pounds before I am at my ideal weight. Should I lose the weight first so that the surgeon and I are better able to see what I need and the final results or is it okay to go ahead and have the procedures done now?
Hi Adrien,
Yes we advise that you lose the weight first then it will be possible to have multiple proceedures done at the same time. This will also save you time and money.

hi i’m norva and i live in curacao (netherlands Antillian)
I want to have a breast uplifting. And i ask my doctor about that and he say to me that he does’nt recommend me that because i’m still young (18). I’t is better to wait when i’m older and also i gonna have scares. And here is my questions: i wanna know about that horribel scares if it is true or not?
Do you think maybe i wait a little bit more?
And is it true that maybe about 10 years i have to do it again?
Hi Norva,
We advise that you wait till you are a bit older. It is true that the scars are not very nice. You would have to have a consultation to discuss whether or not you may need to have it done again in ten years.

After having a previous three nose jobs due to my tip collapsing my surgeon has now suggested a skin graft to combat this problem for good. The only problem is that my surgeon has not performed this operation before as he says its highly unusual.
Do you have a surgeon at your practice that has performed this surgery before?

Hello
I am 43 and had septorhinoplasty 12 months ago. Although my nose looks better than before, the result is not good enough. The nose is still larger than I hoped for, and is uneven from the bridge to the tip (middle part of the cartilage is slighly rasised and the tip is kind of ‘pinched’). Is my only option a revision rhinoplasty? Are there any other procedures to lessen these undesirable effects?

We would advise that you go back and speak to your original surgeon.

I have had a broken nose since i was 16, i’m now 27. The septum is to the side so i look hook nosed, some days if i push my nose to the side it almost looks straight but it dont last, the shape returns. Is it expensive to have it straightened? and if it is out of my reach, is it safe to have my nose punched to have it straightened at hospital. Its important to me, i feel very uneasy around people lookin me in the face during conversations

I have just turned 18 and have been unhappy with my nose since my early teens. I have quite a small nose but it has a large bump on the bridge. I am worried about the risks of having such a serious operation, but I made the decision a long time ago that this is what I wanted to do as soon as I was old enough as I feel it will boost my confidence.
My questions are;
How much scarring will there be?
How long will it take before you can go outside and do average day to day things?
How long will the facial bruising/swelling last?
Thank you!
Hi Lucy,
There is not normally visible scarring as most of the work is done inside the nose. Rest for 1 to 2 weeks and swelling and brusing differs for each person.

I would like to have the size of the tip of my nose reduced & nostrils too. Is it possible to have this done under local anaesthetic? If so, what are the likelihood of complications or effect on breathing with such an operation?
Thanks.

Hi i was thinking of having my nose re-shaped as i have a bump and i would like my nose straight but i think instead of the bump being shaved down it would look better if it was built up from the top of the nose to the bump to make it look straight, i was just wondering if there is a procedure to build the nose up in this way and also how much approx would it cost?, thank you for your time.
Hi Kevin,
There are various procedures for cosmetic nose surgery. You need to see a surgeon. Call 08000 14 10 14 for a free consultation.

I am currently 16 years old and would really like a nose job. I have been told i should wait till I’m 18, so I’m going to do that. But i was wondering is there a long waiting list for the procedure?? & if i want it when I’m 18, will i have to book it now because of the waiting list?
Hi Kayla,
We can not book you in till you are 18.
Sorry.
Sophie.
