What to think about before you have nose reshaping

Nose reshaping is a complex operation. The results cannot be guaranteed, there are risks to consider, and it can be expensive. Before you go ahead, be sure about why you want nose reshaping. Speak to your GP first and take time to think about your decision. Read more about deciding whether cosmetic surgery is right for you.

Choosing a surgeon

If you’re having nose reshaping in TURKEY check with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). All independent clinics and hospitals that provide cosmetic surgery in England must be registered with the CQC. Be careful when searching the internet to look for doctors and clinics who provide nose reshaping. Some clinics may pay to advertise their services on search listings. Check the surgeon is registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). They should be listed on the specialist register and have a licence to practise. Also, check the British Association of Plastic Reconstruction and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) or the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) to see if the surgeon is a “full member” on the specialist register for plastic surgery. Book an appointment with the surgeon before the procedure. Ask your surgeon:

• about their qualifications and experience
• how many nose reshaping operations they’ve performed
• how many operations they’ve performed where there have been complications
• what sort of follow-up you should expect if things go wrong
• what their patient satisfaction rates are

What nose reshaping involves

Nose reshaping is usually carried out under general anaesthetic. Depending on the type of surgery you’re having, the surgeon may:

• make your nose smaller (nose reduction) – by removing some of the cartilage and bone
• make your nose larger (nose augmentation) – by taking cartilage from the ears and bone from the hips, elbow or skull, and using it to build up the nose (known as a “graft”)
• change the shape of your nose (including the nostrils) – by breaking the nose bone and rearranging the cartilage
• change the angle between the nose and top lip

The skin over the nose should shrink or expand to its new shape. The operation involves either making a cut across the skin between the nostrils (open rhinoplasty), or tiny cuts inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty). A closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible scars and causes less swelling, but is not always possible or available. The procedure can take 1.5 to 3 hours. You’ll probably need to stay in hospital for 1 or 2 nights. You’ll have a dressing on your nose for the first 12 hours after the operation, and a splint held over your nose with tape for 7 days. You may not be able to breathe through your nose for about a week. You’ll be given painkillers to help control any pain or discomfort.
