Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping surgery, is a detailed and intricate procedure that can achieve a wide range of different outcomes based on what each patient is looking for. Although the nose may seem like a small area compared to other parts of the body, it is actually composed of many complex structures. This complexity allows us to produce precise results based on the particular surgical approach used.
People who come to us for a rhinoplasty often have various objectives in mind. Some want to adjust the size or shape of the bridge of their nose, while others may wish to modify their nostrils or the tip of their nose. There are also those who require corrections to the septum, the wall dividing the nasal cavity. In many cases, patients are looking for a combination of these changes.
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that focuses primarily on altering the external appearance of the nose to achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. While it might seem straightforward, this type of nose surgery is actually quite complex, given the range of concerns and expectations patients might have.
A frequent issue that prompts people to consider cosmetic rhinoplasty is facial asymmetry. Some individuals are also dissatisfied with how the tip of their nose looks. In addition to these, the size and positioning of the nostrils are another common area of focus.
A notable concern that many people share is the presence of a visible bump on the dorsum. What makes cosmetic rhinoplasty so compelling is its ability to bring about subtle but transformative changes that harmonise the nose with other facial features. You can see examples of our results in our rhinoplasty before and after photos.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure specifically designed to improve the functionality of your nose, particularly focusing on the internal structures. While the primary goal is to correct issues affecting breathing or other aspects of nasal function, the surgery can sometimes also address aesthetic concerns, providing an all-in-one solution.
Breathing issues are a common reason many people opt for functional rhinoplasty. For instance, some individuals have narrow nasal passages, making it difficult to breathe efficiently. Another common issue is a deviated septum.

Additionally, internal structures known as turbinates can become enlarged. When this happens, a procedure called turbinate reduction may be performed to open up the airways.

The beauty of functional rhinoplasty is that it can often be combined with cosmetic adjustments, allowing patients to address both functional and aesthetic concerns in a single operation. Learn more about combining rhinoplasty and septoplasty.
