If your nose leaves you feeling:

• photo or camera-shy, overly self-conscious, unhappy with how you look
• unfairly teased and bullied about your nose to the point it has zapped your confidence
• fearful of being photographed from certain angles

You may be a candidate for a Rhinoplasty Melbourne surgery procedure – often called a nose job. Rhinoplasty surgery is a procedure where a Plastic Surgeon reshapes and/or straightens your nose. The scar is typically not visible. Scar location is generally where the nose meets the skin above the upper lip.

Rhinoplasty surgery is often life-changing. It can help you to attain a more harmonious overall facial balance, as well as a better-looking nose after you heal from surgery.  Surgery is serious, however, and you’ll want to fully understand the procedure and healing times before you consent to surgery.

• Facial Harmony
• Balanced Features
• Better Breathing and Sleep
• Confidence

A Rhinoplasty, Nose Job or Nose Reshaping Surgery is a surgical procedure to either reshape or reconstruct the nose. Rhinoplasty can enhance the appearance of the nose by adjusting; the size, shape, length or other proportions of the nose. Nose Surgery may also be an option to adjust just the nose tip or nostril area (see Nose Tip Rhinoplasty or Tipoplasty or Alarplasty).

Corrective Rhinoplasty or Septo-Rhinoplasty can not only help restore functionality to the nasal area but can also reduce breathing problems that are a result of nose injuries or nasal deformities. For Example; repairing a deviated septum.

A Rhinoplasty involves a number of procedures that reshape your nose while avoiding impeding nasal functionality. If you want to see if you’re a suitable candidate for surgical nose reshaping, give our Patient Coordinators a call during Clinic hours on 1300 264 811. They will help you schedule an appointment with a top facial nose reshaping specialist plastic surgeon, Dr Richard Sackelariou or ENT Surgeon Dr Stephen Kleid.

• Rhinoplasty Surgery may be a good solution for achieving a more symmetrical and proportionate facial balance.
• Rhinoplasty Surgery appeals to most individuals who are unhappy with either the size, shape or overall appearance of their nose. If you are extremely self-conscious about the appearance of your nose or your side profile, you may want to explore your surgical options.
• You may require Corrective Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty or Septo-Rhinoplasty techniques if you suffer from; breathing problems, a deviated nasal septum, a collapsed nasal bridge or some form of sleep apnea (snoring).
• To be considered a suitable candidate for Nose Surgery, you must have realistic expectations about what Rhinoplasty surgery can, and cannot, achieve. Whilst nose surgery may improve the appearance of your nose when in the hands of a highly-skilled Surgeon, surgery is unlikely to be life-changing. Revision requests are not uncommon.

Medications and General Anaesthesia  – These are administered during your rhinoplasty procedure.

An Open Rhinoplasty will require a small incision across the central part of the base of the nose (columella). This type of incision allows the surgeon to lift the entire skin over the nasal cartilage. This allows your Plastic Surgeon to access both the underlying cartilage and nasal bones, which they can surgically adjust or reshape.

A Closed Rhinoplasty requires small incisions within the nostrils. Therefore, there’s no visible scarring. The Surgeon completes the procedure through a small hole inside the nose. Because the nasal skin is not elevated or lifted, this typically means your Surgeon will have less ability to make precise changes. Hence, this type of nose surgery may not suit most patients.

Incisions – After the incisions are made, your Surgeon strategically reshapes the inner bones of your nose. They will either reduce or rearrange nasal cartilage to provide you with a more aesthetically pleasing nose OR improved function.

Adjustments – After your Plastic Surgeon adjusts the nose shape, size, tip, width or other aspects of your nasal structures, your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures.

Your Recovery and Healing period begins after Surgery. Please be aware that you must be patient as you recover from nose surgery. You are unlikely to see your surgery results for several months, due to the long healing periods that are a part of any facial surgery. It helps to know what to expect.

The length of your recovery period after nose surgery will depend on not only your anatomy and general health but also the specifics of your procedure. Recovery processes and healing time frames can also vary significantly from person to person. Your lifestyle and choices after surgery can impact both your healing and results.

Be sure you get adequate rest, good nutrition and don’t smoke. The general rule is that you should allow at least 4-6 weeks for initial recovery following your surgery. However, scars can take time to fully mature, sometimes up to a year or more. It may also take an extended period of time before swelling fully settles. You will need to work with your Surgeon to allow for adequate and proper healing time.

You need to be willing to follow the specific instructions either Dr Kleid or Dr Sackelariou, gives you. It’s also important that you attend all post-operative consultations.

Be sure you wear the surgery tapes and splint as instructed and take advantage of the recommended recovery products to assist you during your healing and recovery.
