What is it?
Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically demanding and transformative procedures in plastic surgery. Our surgeons specialise in both cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty, reshaping the nose to enhance facial harmony and — where needed — improve breathing. Both open and closed techniques are available.
How does it work?
Under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes precise incisions to access and reshape the cartilage and bone. The procedure can reduce or increase size, refine the tip, straighten a deviated septum, and correct asymmetry.
