Dr Amir Sadri offers nose surgery in London for patients who want to change the shape of the nose, improve how well it works, or both. Nose surgery covers a range of procedures, from cosmetic reshaping through to functional operations that correct breathing and structural problems
What is nose surgery?
Nose surgery is a broad term for any operation that changes the structure of the nose. It spans cosmetic reshaping, functional surgery to improve breathing (such as septoplasty), and combined procedures that do both (septorhinoplasty). Patients come to Dr Amir Sadri’s London practice with concerns ranging from a dorsal hump or an uneven tip to a blocked airway after injury or a deviated septum. The right procedure depends on your nose, your goals, and whether the issue is aesthetic, functional or a mix of the two.
Who is nose surgery suitable for?
Nose surgery may suit those who have:
-
hump, bump or uneven bridge they would like refined
-
drooping, wide or poorly defined tip
-
nose that looks out of proportion with the rest of the face
-
deviated septum or a blocked nasal airway
-
breathing difficulties, congestion or snoring linked to nasal structure
-
nose changed by injury or a previous fracture
-
unsatisfactory result from earlier nose surgery
What can nose surgery address?
Depending on the procedure, nose surgery can improve both the appearance and the function of the nose:
-
reshaping the bridge and reducing a dorsal hump
-
refining or lifting the tip
-
straightening a crooked nose
-
correcting a deviated septum to improve airflow
-
rebuilding structure and support after trauma
-
bringing the nose into balance with the rest of the face

Nose Surgery FAQs
Please click the toggle to learn about the process.
Can nose surgery improve breathing as well as appearance?
Yes. Functional nose surgery corrects structural problems such as a deviated septum, and where appropriate it can be combined with cosmetic reshaping in a single operation.
How long is the recovery after nose surgery?
Most people take one to two weeks off before returning to work, with swelling settling over the following weeks and months. The exact timeline depends on the procedure, and Dr Sadri will talk you through what to expect.
Will nose surgery leave visible scars?
Many procedures are carried out from inside the nose and leave no visible scar. Where a small external incision is needed, it is placed discreetly at the base of the nose and usually fades well.
Am I a good candidate for nose surgery?
Suitable candidates are in good general health, have a specific concern about the shape or function of the nose, and hold realistic expectations. A consultation is the best way to find out what is achievable.
How much does nose surgery cost in London?
The cost depends on the procedure and its complexity, and whether it is cosmetic, functional or combined. Dr Sadri provides a clear, itemised quote after your consultation, once he has assessed your nose and agreed a plan with you.
Is nose surgery painful?
Most patients report discomfort rather than significant pain. The nose feels congested and tender in the first week, much like a heavy cold, and any soreness is usually well managed with simple pain relief. The splint and internal swelling tend to cause more of a blocked sensation than actual pain.
How should I prepare for nose surgery?
Dr Sadri will give you tailored advice at your consultation, but in general you will be asked to stop smoking well in advance, avoid certain medicines and supplements that increase bleeding, and arrange time off and someone to help at home for the first few days. Arriving well rested and organised makes the early recovery much smoother.
