What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure used to change the shape, structure or function of the nose. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons, functional concerns (such as breathing difficulties) or reconstructive purposes after injury or previous surgery.
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing and appearance?
Yes, in some cases rhinoplasty can be combined with techniques to improve nasal function and breathing, particularly if there is a structural issue inside the nose. During your consultation, Dr Amir Sadri will assess both the appearance and function of your nose and discuss the most appropriate approach for your goals.
What concerns can rhinoplasty treat?
Rhinoplasty can be used to address a range of concerns including:
- a bump on the bridge of the nose (dorsal hump)
- a wide nasal bridge
- a drooping, rounded or prominent tip
- nasal asymmetry
- a nose that feels out of proportion with other facial feature
- certain structural issues affecting breathing
Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual patient.
How long does it take to recover from rhinoplasty?
Initial recovery is usually around 1-2 weeks, and many patients return to work or normal daily activities during this period (depending on the procedure and their recovery). Swelling improves gradually over time, and the final results continue to refine over several months
When will I see the final rhinoplasty result?
You will notice changes once the initial swelling settles, but rhinoplasty results continue to improve over time. Most patients see a significant improvement in the first few months, with more refined results developing as swelling gradually resolves.
Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars?
Many rhinoplasty procedures are performed using techniques that leave little to no visible scarring. If an external incision is used, it is usually placed in a discreet area and is designed to heal as neatly as possible. Dr Amir Sadri will explain the surgical approach recommended for your case during your consultation.
Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
You may be a suitable rhinoplasty candidate if:
- you are concerned about the shape or size of your nose
- you have realistic expectations
- your facial growth is complete
- you are in good general health
- you would like to improve nasal appearance, function or both
A consultation is the best way to determine suitability and discuss goals in detail.
What happens during a consultation?
Your rhinoplasty consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, goals, and what you would like to improve about the appearance or function of your nose. Dr Amir Sadri will assess your nose in detail, including its shape, proportions, skin quality, and (where relevant) nasal function and breathing.
During the consultation, you will talk through the treatment options available, what may be realistically achievable, and whether rhinoplasty is the most appropriate procedure for your needs. The discussion may also include recovery, expected results, potential risks, and whether additional procedures (such as septorhinoplasty) may be recommended.
The aim of the consultation is to provide a personalised plan and ensure you feel fully informed before making a decision about surgery. After your consultation, you will be given clear guidance on the next steps, including pricing and how to proceed if you wish to book treatment.
