Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the nose and improves its appearance.

The nose is the structure on the face upon which the other facial features are bridged and, any changes to the nose can affect the overall look of the face. Rhinoplasty can improve the symmetry of the face and change your overall appearance. This may be particularly desirable if the person is self-conscious about the appearance of their nose

With Rhinoplasty the surgeon can reduce the size and narrow or widen the width of the nose, and even improve the tip or remove an unwanted bump. Crooked or curved noses can be straightened and made more symmetrical.

When discussing Rhinoplasty with Dr. Tew, it’s important to discuss your expectations and be mindful that the goal of any type of cosmetic surgery is improvement, not perfection.

Rhinoplasty usually takes between one and two hours and the patient may be under general or local anaesthetic depending on the circumstances. Side effects are generally contained to swelling and bruising around the eyes although they quickly subside. Reduction in the swelling of the nose takes more time and in some cases numbness may be present for a number of months after the procedure.
