Rhinoplasty with Dr Hunt

Rhinoplasty, also called a nose job, is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. It can alter the look of the nose and the face. Dr Jeremy Hunt may help patients who wish to reduce or increase their nose’s size, change its shape, narrow it or widen it, or change its angle.

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, and changing its shape, size, or position can impact your appearance.

Rhinoplasty works by moving the cartilage, bones and muscles of the nose to help create the patient’s desired result or address issues such as a large tip or saddle deformity. Rhinoplasty can also be functional or reconstructive, helping with nasal conditions following trauma or airway breathing difficulties, and it can be performed on both men and women. In many cases, cosmetic Rhinoplasty surgery aims to be subtle. It can also help with breathing problems caused by blockages, including sleep apnoea or snoring.

Dr Jeremy Hunt may help patients reduce or increase their noses’ size, change their shape, narrow or widen them, or change their angles. As a plastic surgeon with an interest in Cranial Surgery, Dr Jeremy Hunt sees patients in Sydney and Wollongong.

Types of

Rhinoplasty Procedures

Before planning a cosmetic Rhinoplasty Surgery, it’s important to understand your options. Here are some of the most common types of the procedure:

Closed Rhinoplasty icon 01

Closed
Rhinoplasty

Closed Rhinoplasty is performed using a technique to make a small incision on the inside of the nose. This is common when fixing a deviated septum or when correcting simple nose tip deformities or an asymmetrical nose.

Open Rhinoplasty icon 01

Open
Rhinoplasty

Open Rhinoplasty is performed through an incision made on the skin on the base of the nose. This can be suitable when addressing 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 icon 01

Revision Rhinoplasty is for people who had a Rhinoplasty before and are not pleased with the results achieved with the initial procedure.

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty icon 01

Reconstructive
Rhinoplasty

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty uses tissue grafts of cartilage to rebuild or reconstruct a nose that has been damaged by trauma or, often, previous surgery. The surgery involves altering the internal cartilage and bone of the nose. Dr Hunt can remove cartilage from the bone of the nose or add to the nose cartilage by taking some from the ear.

How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to address the appearance or function of the nose. Dr Hunt uses different techniques that deliver results while also aiming to avoid potential post-operative complications.
The procedure can take up to 2 hours or more, depending on the complexity of each case. General anaesthesia is preferred for the patient’s comfort.

There are different techniques used for Rhinoplasty, but usually, Dr Hunt chooses Open Rhinoplasty. 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 cartilage, and the septum is adjusted and straightened.

Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty Surgery is a common procedure performed not only for aesthetic purposes but also to allow air to pass through the nose. There are multiple reasons why patients might consider this procedure, such as:

Recovery After Rhinoplasty

The recovery period after Rhinoplasty Surgery is highly dependent on the complexity of the procedure and whether it was performed alone or in combination with other interventions, such as Blepharoplasty or a Facelift (Rhytidectomy). The area is usually swollen and bruised after the intervention.

It is best to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first 2 weeks after surgery, and returning to the gym is only possible after 4 to 6 weeks. Here are more recommendations for the recovery period after surgery:

  • Avoid smoking, vaping, and drinking alcohol for at least 2 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.

Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions

What's Involved in Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Dr Hunt performs all Rhinoplasty Surgeries under a general anesthetic, administered by one of his carefully selected anesthetists in the hospital of your choice.

Either an open or closed surgical technique will be used, depending on the extent of your surgery.

During your surgery, Dr Hunt will gently and carefully separate the skin of your nose from the bone and cartilage, before sculpting and adjusting it.

When your surgery is finished, a splint will be placed over the bridge of your nose. If your septum (the cartilage between your nostrils) is adjusted, Dr Hunt will also pack inside your nose.

The whole procedure generally takes around 2 hours.

When Can I Resume My Normal Activities?

The swelling and bruising around your eyes will likely increase at first, peaking around 3 days after surgery. You should plan on minimal activity during this time. After that time, you can resume your normal activities as soon as you feel comfortable.

The swelling and bruising should then begin to subside. Some subtle swelling will linger for several months.

When Will I See the Final Surgery Results?

While the skin of your nose will take several months to reveal the absolute final result, you may see changes within weeks.

What Is the Difference Between a Rhinoplasty and a Tip Rhinoplasty?

A Rhinoplasty involves surgical treatment of the nasal bones and cartilage. The bones make up the upper part of the nose between the eyes, and the cartilage is divided into two sections: the middle vault and the tip cartilage.

A Tip Rhinoplasty only addresses the tip cartilage and is therefore limited in its power to change the size and shape of the nose. This type of surgery is used to alter the shape, angle and definition of the tip and is only applicable in a limited number of cases.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

After Rhinoplasty, it’s common to experience swelling and bruising around the eyes. This can take up to 2 weeks to fade, although some very subtle swelling may remain for up to several months. Plan to spend the first 3 days following surgery at home. Resting and limiting movement will help counter any discomfort and help the healing process. Plan to spend at least 2 weeks off work after surgery.
