Reasons for undergoing a Rhinoplasty
The nose is a dominant facial feature. Subtle anomalies can develop into significant issues. The nose is susceptible to trauma and may be distorted as a result. Empathetic surgery can ameliorate these problems.
Surgery
The skeleton of the nose can be remodelled by adjusting bony
and cartilaginous constituents
Anaesthetic
General anaesthetic- over night stay

Scars
Within the nostrils or with additional scar through the columella.
