Why Do People Choose to Get a Nose Job?
Having a nose job, also known as rhinoplasty, is one of the top cosmetic surgeries that people choose to have. Everyone has their own personal reasons for wanting to change the shape or function of their nose. Whatever your own reasons may be, it’s really important to take the time to fully understand what the surgery involves so you can figure out the best outcome for you.

Here at Centre for Surgery, we carry out between 70 and 90 nose jobs every year at our clinic on Baker Street in London. The main reasons our patients decide to go through with this surgery are:
Improving Aesthetics Through Rhinoplasty
One of the top reasons why people opt for a nose job is to enhance the way their nose looks. A large number of our patients come to us because they’re unhappy with certain aspects of their nose’s appearance. This could be a small bump on the bridge of their nose, or it could be an unevenness in the shape of their nostrils or the upper part of their nose. Addressing these aesthetic issues becomes a key driving factor for many of the rhinoplasty procedures we perform.

Enhancing Respiratory Function Through Rhinoplasty
While many people choose to have a nose job for cosmetic reasons, there’s also a significant number of patients who opt for this surgery due to genuine medical concerns related to breathing. These issues can affect one or both nostrils and often cause lifelong discomfort.

One of the most frequent medical issues we tackle is a deviated septum. In addition to deviated septums, there are other functional issues we address through rhinoplasty. Learn more about combining rhinoplasty and septoplasty for combined functional and cosmetic correction.
Rhinoplasty for Repairing Injuries and Restoring Function
Another common reason people seek rhinoplasty is to correct issues stemming from a nasal fracture or broken nose. When someone suffers from a broken nose, it’s not just the way their nose looks that’s a concern. Often, the injury can also lead to problems with breathing. Through rhinoplasty, we can effectively correct both the aesthetic and functional issues caused by nasal fractures.
Addressing Previous Concerns Through Revision Rhinoplasty

There are instances where patients come to us after having already undergone a nose job with another plastic surgeon. These patients often still have lingering issues with the look of their nose that weren’t resolved during their initial surgery.
Revision rhinoplasty is considered one of the most challenging types of nose surgery to perform. This is mainly because the original structures within the nose have been modified or, in some instances, completely removed. The aim of revision rhinoplasty is twofold: first, to correct any deformities that were caused by the initial surgery, and second, to enhance the overall functionality of the nose.
