Rhinoplasty Nose Reshaping surgery FAQ's

There are many different types of cosmetic procedures that can make improvements on the way people look. One of those types of procedures is rhinoplasty (nose job). Most people think that rhinoplasty is a type of surgery that is only provided for those who want to reduce the size of their nose. In reality, there may be a number of different reasons why it is considered.

If you are considering rhinoplasty, you likely have some questions. This FAQ will help answer some of the more common questions for those seeking rhinoplasty in the UK.

Q: AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR RHINOPLASTY?

A: Rhinoplasty can help to improve both the function and appearance of the nose. It is impossible to tell if you are a good candidate without coming to see a doctor. Most doctors will offer a consultation during the initial appointment that will allow them to address your concerns. Rhinoplasty may be an option to consider but there may also be other procedures that can work as well.

Q: IS IT PAINFUL?

A: One of the more common questions that are asked by people who are considering rhinoplasty is in regards to the pain. Most people have seen this procedure done on an Internet video or the telly so it could lead to some concern. Rhinoplasty is not an extremely painful procedure and painkillers will be provided to help reduce any pain issues during the first day.

Q: DOES RHINOPLASTY CAUSE A SCAR?

A: When the procedure is first performed, there may be a small scar that occurs because of an incision that allows the doctor to get under the skin. In most cases, the incision is very small and the scar will not be noticeable after it heals and a few months have passed.

Q: WILL IT CAUSE BRUISING?

A: It is impossible to have rhinoplasty without some bruising but the surgical instruments that are used for this procedure help to reduce the damage that could lead to that issue. In most cases, the bruising associated with the nose job will disappear within a week or so. You may need to sleep on your back and with your head elevated, which can help to reduce bruising as well.

Q: WILL IT CHANGE MY SENSE OF SMELL?

A: Some people do experience a change in their sense of smell after a nose job, especially when an odour is particularly offensive. In most cases, however, any altered sense of smell is going to be temporary and will return to normal in under a month.

Q: WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF RHINOPLASTY?

A: Any type of operation will carry a certain amount of risk and the possibility for complications. It could be from the surgery itself and some people do not react well to a general anesthetic. Choosing the right doctor will help to limit the possible issues because they will take all necessary precautions to avoid them. This is something that should be discussed with your physician during the consultation process.

A: Rhinoplasty is also known as a ‘nose job’, and involves a surgical procedure. This surgery can change the shape of the nose, the overall look, or the function of the nose due to an accident or trauma to the face.

Q: ARE THERE ANY RISKS?

A: All surgical procedures come with slight risks and rhinoplasty is no exception. There is a slight risk of infection, and there can be slight bleeding due to the nature of the surgery. There is also a slight risk that additional surgery may be needed. Overall though, cosmetic rhinoplasty is safe, with most patients happy with the results.

Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE?

A: Before the procedure you will have a consultation with your surgeon. They will explain the procedure, what will happen and discuss any concerns that you may have. They will also discuss with you about stopping any medications that you take prior to surgery, such as blood thinners. If you are a smoker they will also strongly suggest that you stop smoking, as this can slow down your recovery and healing process.

Q: WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY

A: This procedure is usually carried out under a general anaesthetic. The procedure should take no more than two hours. Your surgeon will once again talk you through the procedure, and if required a sedative can be given.

Q: RECOVERY AFTER RHINOPLASTY

A: You will have to wear a nasal splint for up to ten days post surgery. There may also be some bruising and moderate swelling to the area around your eyes, but this should subside after two weeks. It’s also advisable for you to avoid strenuous exercise for at least four weeks to help with the healing process. A full list of what you should, and shouldn’t do, will be given to you after the procedure.

Q: WILL IT CHANGE MY SENSE OF SMELL?

A: Some people do experience a change in their sense of smell after a nose job, especially when an odour is particularly offensive. In most cases, however, any altered sense of smell is going to be temporary and will return to normal in under a month.

Nose reshaping (Rhinoplasty) at the Belvedere Private hospital.

OUR PLASTIC SURGEON CAN CHANGE THE SHAPE OF THE TIP, THE BRIDGE AND ALSO THE NOSTRILS CAN BE CHANGED AS CAN THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE NOSE AND THE UPPER LIP FOR PERFECT SYMMETRY. 

As the focal point of the face, a problem with the nose is often a major problem for an individuals self-esteem and confidence. A crooked or disproportionate nose can distort the proportions of the whole face. At The Belvedere Clinic we have a solution for all types of nose reshaping that not only improves the image of the nose but of the whole face.

After your Rhinoplasty procedure you will have a plaster of paris (POP) over your nose, which will be removed about 10 days after but must be kept dry at all times prior to removal. 4 weeks after the POP has been removed massage the nose gently, working with finger tips from the nasal tip upwards. You can clean the nostrils gently with cotton buds soaked in warm saline after 10 days and should avoid sneezing, coughing or anything that may increase pressure around the nose. You should not consume alcohol or take aspirin for 10 days. Your surgeon will discuss this in detail with you however if you have any queries feel free to call us on the number below.

Helpful advice – It is worth anticipating your own reaction to the first sight of yourself and your new nose. To start with, you will look rather strange in the mirror and not quite ‘you’ because of your different nose. Remember that it takes a few days for your mind’s eye to adjust itself to your new appearance and to recognise it as ‘you’.

TOWIE's Georgia confirmed that she underwent rhinoplasty surgery

FANS OF THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX MAY HAVE SPOTTED THAT GEORGIA KOUSOULOU LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE – AND IT’S BECAUSE SHE’S THE SHOW’S LATEST STAR TO UNDERGO COSMETIC SURGERY.

TOWIE’s Georgia confirmed that she underwent rhinoplasty surgery to dramatically alter the shape of her nose, which now appears smaller and more rounded than it did before.

The decision to undergo the surgery was, as it is for many non-celebrity and celebrity cosmetic surgery fans alike, to boost her confidence and feel better about her appearance. Sadly, those in the public eye are subjected to intense scrutiny, with many subjected to online abuse and criticism from social media trolls – and Georgia Kousoulou was the victim of such behaviour: hurtful comments about her facial features contributed to her decision to go under the knife.

Now, say friends, her co-stars and her boyfriend, she’s happier than ever with the way she looks. While the social media trolls continue to bully her, with some criticising her decision, Georgia is also receiving plenty of support via Instagram and other social media from fans who think she looks fantastic – and we agree!

Georgia Kousoulou isn’t the sole star of The Only Way Is Essex to undergo cosmetic surgery to boost her confidence levels. Chloe Sims regularly speaks openly about how cosmetic surgery makes her feel more confident, with breast implants, a buttock lift, teeth veneers and regular botox treatments contributing to her look.

Before the filming of The Only Way Is Majorca, a number of TOWIE’s stars treated themselves to procedures to give them a confidence boost for the show’s beachwear shots. Treatments for Sims included a non-surgical facelift, while co-star Megan McKenna focused on lip fillers, and others, opted for teeth whitening before travelling to give confidence in their smile.

Georgia Kousoulou isn’t the only one to focus on her nose, either. Fearne McCann famously underwent rhinoplasty surgery, along with James Argent, while Bobby Norris took to Instagram to talk about the results of his septorhinoplasty process in late 2017: a process that, he says, was undergone to improve his breathing.

One thing’s for sure: there’s certainly no lack of confidence amongst the TOWIE bunch – and it’s clear that, for many, cosmetic surgery is key to helping them to feel their best both on and off screen.

Celebrities who have openly talked about their nose jobs

RHINOPLASTY HAS HIT THE HEADLINES LATELY, WITH ESSEX FAVOURITES FERNE MCCANN AND JAMES ARGENT BOTH REVEALING THE RESULTS OF THEIR NOSE JOBS OVER THE PAST YEAR.

THEY’RE NOT THE ONLY CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE HAD RHINOPLASTY EITHER. BELOW, WE TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE FAMOUS FACES THAT HAVE TALKED OPENLY ABOUT THEIR NOSE JOBS.

Bobby Norris – The TOWIE star is the latest celebrity to have rhinoplasty, after flying to Turkey for the procedure. He recently took to social media to post a picture of his bandaged face following the treatment.

Iggy Azalea – The popular star is well known for her catchy music and collaborations with the likes of Rita Ora and Charlie XCX. She is also known for being upfront about cosmetic surgery. She has openly discussed her nose job, as well as the jaw alteration and boob job she had at the same time.

Ashley Tisdale – The High School Musical actress is another one who cites health reasons for her cosmetic surgery. Ashley said that she was hyperventilating and struggling to breathe through her nose due to a deviated septum, and so she had a nose op in 2007.

Rebecca Adlington – The retired Olympic swimmer was openly unhappy with her appearance, after years of receiving cruel taunts about the way she looked. At the age of 27, she had her nose reduced and a bump removed.

Lauren Pope – DJ, fashionista, and TOWIE star, Lauren Pope, had his ‘n’ hers nose jobs with her then-boyfriend, Kirk Norcross, in 2011. Lauren said that she was really happy with how the surgery went.

Chloe Madeley – Chloe Madeley, the daughter of TV presenter couple Richard and Judy, is probably best known for being a fitness fanatic. However, last year she revealed that she had “finally fixed” her “wonky” nose, as she put it.

Charlotte Crosby – Last but not least, we have ex-Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby. The reality TV favourite had surgery to straighten out the arch in her nose, as she never felt sexy and confident. Charlotte said that it was something she always wanted and, before the surgery, she would lock herself in her dressing room and cry while on photo-shoots. No more tears Charlotte!

TOWIE’s James ‘Arg’ Argent shows off new nose after rhinoplasty

TOWIE FAVOURITE JAMES ‘ARG’ ARGENT IS HAPPILY FLAUNTING HIS NEW NOSE.

THE REALITY STAR – A STAPLE OF THE ITV SHOW SINCE 2010 – RECENTLY SPLASHED OUT £6,500 ON A NOSE JOB BECAUSE HE WAS UNHAPPY WITH HIS APPEARANCE.

He’s now sporting a huge smile across his face on new pictures posted to social media.

Prior to the operation, Arg revealed that the procedure was planned to remove a bump from his nose and reduce the size of his nostrils. The 29-year-old explained that he made the decision after his incredible four-stone weight loss. He said: “I’ve always known I’ve had a big nose, but where I’ve been so up and down with my weight for so many years, my nose didn’t stand out as much, but now I’ve lost four stone my features show a lot more and I’ve got this large bump and nostrils that are even more prominent.”

Arg added: “I think if I have the bump removed and the nostrils made smaller it will make me feel a lot more confident and be another step into helping me better myself since leaving rehab – and I’m not gonna lie, better looking and more attractive.”

Arg isn’t the only TOWIE star to treat himself to a nose job. In the past, both Ferne McCann and Mario Falcone have undergone the procedure and been thrilled with the results. Last month, fellow cast member Yazmin Oukhellou also had a nose job before revealing the results on Instagram.

The reality beauty wrote: “It has only been 2 weeks and I can already see the results are going to be amazing. I had a previous broken nose and deviated septum so surgery was the only option for me. I am so glad I did it as I was nervous at first but so happy that I can now breathe properly and that the small bump has gone.”

IS A NOSE JOB FOR YOU?

TOWIE stars aren’t the only ones who are allowed to have cosmetic surgery. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Arg and Yazmin with Rhinoplasty, be sure to get in touch with the Belvedere Clinic for more information about your chosen procedure.

Did you know this about rhinoplasty?

RHINOPLASTY IS THE COSMETIC PROCEDURE INVOLVED IN ALTERING THE APPEARANCE OF THE NOSE AND IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A NOSE JOB.

Depending on the results the patient is looking for from their surgery, the surgeon will generally look to alter the shape of the nose of the bridge, which may be bent or have a bump in it, the tip or the nostrils.

Because the nose is the centre point of the face, the procedure can vastly improve a patient’s confidence once the surgery and recovery are complete, as not only the shape of the nose but the appearance of the whole face will change too. Although rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures you can undergo, there are some facts about it you might not already know – read on below to find out more!

THE PROCEDURE IS AS OLD AS TIME

There are records of rhinoplasty surgery taking place from over 2,500 years ago, with techniques much like the ones used today. The reasons for the surgery have changed somewhat though, with a medical book from India discussing the surgery to help patients whose noses had been damaged in battle. The book and its procedures were then brought to England in the 18th century, and the rest, as they say – is history!

WHY ‘PLASTIC’ SURGERY?

One commonly asked question is why the procedures are referred to as plastic surgery when no instance of plastic is used in the surgery. The term was coined before modern plastic materials were developed and actually refers to the Greek word ‘plastikos’ and the Latin word ‘plasticus’ which when translated actually means to hold or shape, which is a perfect description of the procedures.

WHY HAVE RHINOPLASTY

Whilst rhinoplasty procedures are often carried out for cosmetic reasons, many people use the surgery as an opportunity to alter defects caused at birth, by accidents or illness.

A nose job, or rhinoplasty procedure, is a tried and tested cosmetic procedure that has given patients all over the world confidence-boosting results.

Fearne McCann is the latest star delighted with their new nose

AS WE’VE SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN, COSMETIC SURGERY HAS THE ABILITY TO REVOLUTIONISE A PERSON’S CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM.

Whether it’s a breast augmentation, a tummy tuck or liposuction, there’s been no shortage of stars who’ve come out and said that their chosen nip or tuck has done them the world of good. When it comes to facial surgery, though, surely the procedure that elicits the most positive emotional responses from clients themselves isrhinoplasty.

Many people spend their lives tolerating a nose which they feel is too big and dominates their entire face or is an unflattering shape, especially in side profile, and over time this can come to define them. So, following a rhinoplasty, many stars seem to feel an overwhelming urge to share their new confidence and happiness with the world.

One such star is The Only Way is Essex cast member Fearne McCann, who revealed her new nose in August, live on This Morning. The star, who also presents segments on the morning TV show, explained during her interview that she had been teased at school about her nose and that she began to feel that it was ‘taking over her face’, stating that it was all she could see in the mirror. Despite this, Fern was adamant that she didn’t want the rhinoplasty surgery to change her entire look. This led the I’m a Celebrity star to request that her surgeon make the change to her nose subtle, and ask that they simply concentrate on removing the bump on the bridge of her nose. Nonetheless, the effect on Fern’s confidence has been massive, as she said that previously, despite appearing confident, on the inside her dislike of her nose ‘really fazed her’.

This feeling will be familiar to Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby, who after debuting her new nose last year stated that her surgeon was a miracle worker and that she was thrilled with the results. She too had been unhappy with the arch of her nose, explaining that she had never felt sexy and would often break down in tears whilst filming Geordie Shore. Yet more celebrities who’ve loved their rhinoplasty results have been Towie’s Lauren Pope and Kirk Norcross who had his ‘n’ hers nose jobs in 2012, as well as Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington, who had an overall nose reduction as well as having a bump on the bridge removed.
