Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure which can change the size or shape of your nose. As well as cosmetic reasons, rhinoplasty may also be helpful for those who have physical irregularities that prevent them from breathing effectively. The following is a list of ways that rhinoplasty may benefit the individual:
It can reduce both the size or length of your nose
It can be used to reduce or remove a bridge or lump
It can be used to straighten your nose
It can be used to adjust the size and shape of your nostrils
It can be used to address asymmetry of the nose
It can be used to reshape the tip of your nose
It can also be used to alleviate or improve difficulties with breathing

At American Aesthetic we offer 3 different types of rhinoplasty surgery. You should contact one of our expert consultants to see which one is best for you and your needs.

• • OPEN RHINOPLASTY
  This procedure involves a cut being made across the skin between the nostrils after which bone and cartilage is rearrenged to alter the shape of your nose. This type of operation will leave a small scar that disappears after time.
• • CLOSED RHINOPLASTY
  This procedure involves small cuts being made on the inside of your nostrils with minimal andmostly internal scarring. This procedure also takes less time to heal than open rhinoplasty. It should be kept in mind, however, that not everyone is able to have this kind of procedure.

This procedure involves the straightening of the cartilage and bone in the septum and other areas of the nose thereby removing any obstructions that impair breathing and improves airflow in the nasal cavities. As well as this, septorhinoplsty can also address any existing asymmetry of the nose and correct the outer shape of the nose

This procedure is a revisional procedure for those who have had rhinoplasty before and are unhappy with the results of the operation or wish to do further work on their nose. It is also recommended for those who have experienced substancial trauma to the nasal area. It may be done either using open or closed rhinoplasty procedures All rhinoplasty procedures are performed under general anaesthetic and will probably last around 2 hours on average. Recovery can last up to 12 weeks. To find which procedure is best for you, please contact one of expert consultants at American Aesthetic.
