What Is a Rhinoplasty?
Dr Jeremy Hunt understands that nothing can determine your appearance quite like your nose. It’s the central feature of your face – literally – and deciding to have a nose job by changing its shape, size or position can have a huge impact on your looks.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. Rhinoplasty, also called a nose job, can be performed to improve the look of your nose and the face. The cosmetic surgery works by moving the cartilage, bones and muscles of the nose to create a more attractive, symmetrical and balanced nose or addresses issues such as bulbous tip or saddleback. Rhinoplasty can also be functional or reconstructive, It can help correct nasal deformities following trauma or airway breathing difficulties, and it can be performed on both men and women. In many cases, rhinoplasty is quite subtle. It can also be used to restore some of the normal function of the nose by correcting breathing problems caused by blockages, including sleep apnoea or snoring.
Through nose reshaping or rhinoplasty, you may be able to change what makes you unhappy about your nose. With Dr Jeremy Hunt’s help, you can reduce or increase your nose’s size, change its shape, narrow it or widen it, or change its angle to give your face a new look and profile. As a widely renowned and highly experienced Craniofacial Surgeon, Dr Jeremy Hunt should be your first choice for Rhinoplasty Nose Reshaping, whatever you’re hoping to achieve.
Rhinoplasty Types
Before planning a rhinoplasty, it’s important to understand your options in order to choose the most suitable procedure for you. Here are some of the main types of rhinoplasty:
- Closed rhinoplasty is performed using a technique to make a discreet, small incision on the inside of the nose. This is common when fixing a deviated septum or when correcting simple nose tip deformities such as a bulbous tip or an asymmetrical nose
- Open rhinoplasty is performed through an incision made on the skin on the base of the nose. This is ideal when correcting large nasal deformities present since birth or caused by trauma to the nose. It is also used to access the nasal septum that, when deviated, can cause significant breathing problems or distort the nose shape
- Revision rhinoplasty is for people who had a rhinoplasty before and now are just touching up or changing the shape of the nose as they are not pleased with the results achieved with the initial procedure
- Reconstructive rhinoplasty uses tissue grafts of cartilage to rebuild or reconstruct a nose that has been damaged by trauma, or often previous surgery. Rhinoplasty involves altering the internal cartilage and bone of the nose. Dr Hunt can take out cartilage from the bone of the nose or he can also add to the nose cartilage by taking some from the ear
How is Rhinoplasty Done?
Rhinoplasty is the plastic surgery performed to correct the aspect of the nose, making it more proportionate with the rest of the facial features. The procedure is performed for both aesthetic and functional purposes. Dr Hunt uses modern techniques that deliver impressive results while also preventing potential post-operative complications.
The procedure can take up to two hours or more, depending on the complexity of each case. General anaesthesia is preferred for the comfort of the patient.
There are different techniques that can be used for rhinoplasty, but usually, Dr Hunt chooses open nose surgery. This means that an incision is performed between the nostrils, and additional incisions are made on the inside of the nose. Next, Dr Hunt separates the bones and the cartilages, and the septum is adjusted and straightened. The bones can be reduced to create the best possible shape of the nose.
Benefits of Rhinoplasty Surgery
Rhinoplasty Surgery is a popular procedure performed not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to allow air to pass through the nose better. There are multiple benefits associated with undergoing this procedure such as:
- Corrects the imperfections present at the level of the nose
- Brings harmony to the features of the face
- Corrects a hooked nose
- Allows you to breathe better

Recovery after Rhinoplasty
The recovery period after a rhinoplasty surgery is highly dependent on the complexity of the procedure and whether the procedure was performed alone or in combination with other interventions such as blepharoplasty or a facelift, for example. The area is usually swollen and bruised after the intervention.
It is best to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first two weeks after a nose job and returning to the gym is only possible after four to six weeks. Here are more recommendations for the recovery period after a rhinoplasty surgery:
- Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks
- Avoid steam and heat getting directly in your face
- Sleep on your back
- Avoid rubbing the nose
- Avoid bending your head forward
To avoid risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period make sure to follow Dr Hunt’s indications.
