Procedure To Nose Reshaping Surgery
The size, shape and length of the nose can all be altered through a nose reshaping operation. The scars are usually all internal and therefore not visible. If the nostrils are to be reduced, there will be minimal scarring which is well hidden in the nostril crease. The lower part of the nose is made up of cartilage and if your nose tip needs to be reduced, a part of this cartilage will be removed without visible scarring. If your nose is deviated or bent you may be offered a septo-rhinoplasty to straighten the nose.
- Recovery From Nose Reshaping Surgery
It is pain-free, very few patients experience any pain, only a little discomfort. After surgery scars are rarely visible as the incisions are made internally. You will need to wear a small plaster dressing for seven to ten days following your operation. This will help stabilize the new nose shape and also protect you from any accidental knocks or bumps.
