Many believe that rhinoplasty is only about appearance. In practice, it is just as often about function. A nose that looks balanced should also work well when you breathe.

What can rhinoplasty change?

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose in relation to the rest of the face's proportions. It may concern a hump on the bridge, a wide or downward-pointing tip, or a nose that is out of balance with the forehead and chin. The goal is harmony, not a standard nose.

How are aesthetics and breathing connected?

The inner structure of the nose governs both shape and airflow. With a deviated septum or narrow airways, breathing can be affected. That is why we always assess function alongside appearance, so that the improvement is both visible and noticeable.

A nose should sit quietly in the face. When it draws attention to itself, either for its shape or because breathing falters, that is something we can look over together.

How is the procedure planned?

Because the nose is central to the whole face, planning is meticulous. We go through your anatomy, your wishes and what is reasonable to achieve. The nose heals slowly, and the final result emerges gradually over the months following the procedure. Results vary from person to person.

What happens next?

You are followed up by the same surgeon throughout the healing, from the first check-up to the final follow-up. If you'd like to know what is possible for your particular nose, you are welcome to book a consultation.
