What is Rhinoplasty?
It is one of the most common facial plastic surgery procedures performed. This is because the nose has the greatest impact on how a person looks. Nasal surgery aka rhinoplasty can be performed to change the consequence of genetics, birth defect or nasal injury. It can be done to enhance your appearance and/or to improve your nasal breathing. Modern rhinoplasty is a surgical art form.
Nose Reshaping with Rhinoplasty Surgery
Nose reshaping and contouring is commonly described as having “a nose job” or “nose reshaping”.
The medical term to describe plastic surgery on this part of the face is Rhinoplasty. To achieve a natural-looking nose that complements your facial features can be accentuated with a rhinoplasty procedure / rhinoplasty surgery.
Rhinoplasty London Surgery involves an invasive procedure; the approach or technique used is determent by individual needs, anatomy, injury or revision from previous surgery. The approach can be described as either an open or closed Rhinoplasty, which is based on a joint consultation determent by your consultant.
Having Rhinoplasty surgery can change the overall appearance of the face. To enable patients to make an informed decision on having nose surgery Mr. Golchin preforms 3 dimensional (3D) photography of the full face prior to any treatment. This enables patients to realistically see visually what the final nose restructuring surgery result will look like following treatment.
Mr. Golchin also performs a non surgical approach for nose contouring achieved with fillers. This approach is a good option for an individual who needs minimal contouring but provides a non-permanent pre-surgical visual for patients if surgery were to be opted for at a later date. Non surgical options can be discussed in further detail with your plastic surgeon from our rhinoplasty london clinic.

Risks of Rhinoplasty Surgery
As with any operation, nasal surgery has minimal risks and potential complications. However, with highly trained cosmetic plastic surgeons and nurses making up the surgical team,rhinoplasty surgery complications are extremely rare. Like all surgeries, the risk of bleeding, infection, scarring or an anesthetic problem is present – whether you opt for surgery at harley street or from the rita rakus clinic.
Healing affects the nose in different ways. With heavy skin, the nose is likely to drop a little over time, and there is a higher risk of scar tissue under the skin. Consequently, the experienced rhinoplasty surgeon makes a shape during surgery that allows for these inevitable changes. Mr Golchin sometimes uses medicines in the postoperative period to reduce scar tissue and permit sculpting of the tip on the months after surgery.
Since all of the incisions are inside the nose, there are no visible scars resulting in a better plastic surgery result. When the External (open rhinoplasty) technique is employed, the small scar underneath the nose becomes inconspicuous after several months. Should the unusual situation occur that the incision is noticeable, revision and dermabrasion procedures are available.
In about five percent of rhinoplasties / rhinoplasty surgery, a second procedure may be required to correct a minor deformity such as a small residual bump on the bridge. The corrective surgery is usually minor in nature.

FAQs
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that modifies the shape of a patient’s nose. Often called a nose job or nose surgery, people most often opt for it due to their desire for a different-looking nose. However, there are times when doctors perform rhinoplasty to help with some nasal issues, such as difficulty with breathing, sleeping apnoea, and septum deviation.
As is virtually always the case, medical terms derive from Latin or ancient Greek languages. In this instance, it comes from Greek. “Rhis” stands for nose, whereas “plassein” means to shape. Although it is a common belief that cosmetic surgery procedures first appeared a few decades ago, rhinoplasty, interestingly, has been developed around 800 B.C. in ancient India.
No. A nose surgery, when done correctly, will always involve a professional anaesthesiologist who administers both local and general anaesthesia (the latter when necessary). As a result, a patient does not experience any pain whatsoever during the procedure. After the surgery, you may experience headache or some pain in your nose, as well as it being stuffy and difficult to breathe through. These side effects last only a short while.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical operation, and as such, it comes with some potential complications and risks. As always, there are minimal risks of infection, scarring, bleeding, and an anaesthetic problem. If you have heavy skin, there are increased chances of getting scar tissue under it. Other side effects include unsatisfactory appearance, numbness, and in rare cases, a residual bump on the bridge or septal perforation (a hole in the septum).
There are two types of nose jobs. The first one is non-invasive, and it consists of nose contouring, which a doctor achieves with fillers. This approach is non-permanent and usually lasts for about nine months, after which the nose goes back into its natural shape. The other type of rhinoplasty is invasive surgery. Once the initial swelling wears off after a few weeks (the swelling period differs from one patient to the other), it can take up to a year for your nose to fully refine. After that, the new look you receive is permanent and will last you a lifetime.
Yes, it’s a safe procedure. However, it’s paramount that an expert in the field carries out the surgery. There are some risks and potential complications involved, however. So, having an experienced doctor is vital to avoiding them, especially if you wish not to have any visible scars. However, if done incorrectly, rhinoplasty can result in an unevenly-shaped nose or one with an unnatural look.
After you’ve gone through with the surgery, you will feel a blocked nose for several weeks. Additionally, you may experience some discharge with bloodstains, as well as nasal congestion. That is perfectly normal to have after rhinoplasty. Depending on the patient, it can last for two to four weeks. On average, it takes about two months for side effects to wear off entirely.
Obviously, as with every invasive surgery, your skin will have scars from it. However, there are two possible ways of performing a nose job. The most often one is closed rhinoplasty (internal approach). With closed rhinoplasty, a doctor makes tiny cuts inside the nostrils, which means that the scars will be inside your nose, as opposed to somewhere visible. Open (external) rhinoplasty leaves a small scar just under your nose. Doctors opt for this approach only when necessary in complicated cases.
