The most common request is to reduce the size and shape of a large nose but occasionally an increase in profile is appropriate.  Your surgeon alone is the only person qualified to discuss your expectations but remember everyone is different, for instance skin thickness varies enourmously so a small delicate nose cannot be made from a large thickened one. Rhinoplasty is carried out under general anaesthetic.  Incisions are made in the nostrils, so there will be no external scars, unless the size of the nostrils are reduced.  In this case, small incisions around the sides of the nostrils are necessary which are placed in the natural crease lines between the nose and cheek.  The scars will initially be pink but will eventually return to normal skin colour.  If the nasal bones have to be reset in a rhinoplasty operation, 'black eyes' may occur after surgery, and the eyes and face will be a little swollen.  A plaster cast will also be required to support and protect the bones while they set into their new position. Nose reshaping has been carried out successfully for many years and the vast majority of patients undergoing rhinoplasty gain a feeling of increased self-confidence due to the improvement of their own perceived body image. A no-obligation, free consultation with a cosmetic surgeon is available by calling 020 8936 1225.
