Understanding the treatment
Rhinoplasty can reshape nasal bone, cartilage and soft tissue. A prominent bridge or a change to the tip needs assessment of both proportions and breathing. Previous surgery affects the plan. Swelling can persist, and the final contour develops gradually as tissues heal.
A hooked nose assessment focuses on the bridge, nasal tip and their relationship to the face.
Your personal treatment plan
A personal consultation brings your goals, examination findings and suitable alternatives together. Your medical history, medicines and previous procedures inform the assessment. You receive an individual proposal, with scope, costs and next steps discussed before you decide.
Your medical consultation
Surgical counselling includes bleeding, infection, wound problems, scars and anaesthetic risks. Blood clots and possible further surgery are also considered according to the procedure. Your personal risk is assessed using the examination and medical history.
Medical counselling covers suitability, alternatives, possible side effects and the expected course. A particular outcome cannot be guaranteed. This information helps you prepare; a personal examination determines which treatment is appropriate.
Preparation and aftercare
A considered plan also covers the time after your appointment. Discuss work, exercise, travel and follow-up with your clinician. Recovery and the development of results depend on the procedure and your healing. Appointment details identify your treating clinician, treatment location and aftercare contact.
