Rhinoplasty, a , is one of our most commonly procedures here at Centre for Surgery in London. Many people opt for the procedure to achieve a significant transformation in the appearance of their nose and face. A nose job is designed to surgically reshape the nose, making it appear in better balance with the rest of your facial features. The size or shape of the nose can be increased or decreased as part of nose job surgery. The procedure can also help straighten a crooked nose or remove a bump on the bridge of the nose. In the UK, over were out, as reported by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. The number of people choosing the procedure is increasing annually. 

Here, we discuss the different types of rhinoplasty surgery, and many patients ask us, “Can a nose job affect your smile?”. A nose job is commonly combined with other facial procedures for enhanced results, such as , or a . 

Types of rhinoplasty

A nose job can effectively improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose as well as correct many structural concerns that may affect breathing. There are different techniques for rhinoplasty surgery, with some methods being more than others. Extensive correction may require a more invasive approach to visualise the bone and cartilage framework of the nose accurately. A can produce subtle improvements in nasal appearance without requiring invasive surgery. At your consultation, your surgeon will perform a thorough clinical assessment to the best type of rhinoplasty for you to achieve optimal results.

Open rhinoplasty

An making an incision between the nostrils on the columella to permit complete visualisation of the bony and cartilaginous framework of the nose. This is the most invasive type of rhinoplasty procedure, as the nasal skin has to be gently dissected away from the underlying bone and cartilage of the nose. The method is ideal for extensive nasal corrections involving surgery on the nasal bridge and tip. Open is the preferred approach for all types of revision rhinoplasty. An open rhinoplasty is ideal for:

Closed rhinoplasty

surgery is less surgically invasive compared with an open rhinoplasty, as all incisions are made within the nostrils. As a result, less rhinoplasty swelling is experienced after closed rhinoplasty. Highly experienced often use a closed rhinoplasty to address targeted problem areas of the nose without the incision of an open rhinoplasty. The procedure has limitations, as the closed approach cannot correct nasal defects. Previously, people who had had a rhinoplasty were not considered suitable candidates for closed rhinoplasty. Nasal tip reshaping, also known as tip plasty is better undertaken with the open approach. 

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty

An , also known as a ‘piezo rhinoplasty’ using specialised ultrasonic Technology to precisely sculpt the nose without fracturing the nasal bones. The procedure is ideal for less extensive nasal corrections, and the gentle nature of the technique means patients experience much less and swelling in the postoperative period. It is essential to choose a surgeon who is experienced in the rhinoplasty technique. An ultrasonic rhinoplasty can only be carried out using an open approach.

The most common dermal fillers used for a nonsurgical rhinoplasty include Juvederm and Restylane. Patients can observe an immediate improvement in the appearance of the nose once the nose filler has been injected. A more sculpted nose profile can be achieved by placing filler into the nasal bridge to enhance its definition. 1ml  of dermal filler is often sufficient to smooth over localised depressions or in the bridge of the nose. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not a permanent procedure and requires maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months. 

Will a nose job affect my smile?

Here at the Centre for Surgery, we are commonly asked if a nose job will affect a person’s smile. This is a perfectly valid concern, as surgery on the nose involves an area close to the upper lip. Many patients wonder they will develop a stiff upper lip after surgery, which may impair the ability to smile naturally. When an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon carries out a nose job, this should not be a problem. Our surgeons have years of experience in performing nose jobs without compromising the of the upper lip.

In some cases, a rhinoplasty procedure focused on improving the shape of the base of the nose may result in temporary swelling, which can cause the upper lip to droop for up to 2 weeks after surgery. Fortunately, post-operative swelling is temporary, and although the lip may not return to its usual position immediately, it will do so soon. Tip rhinoplasty often the size and shape of the nasal tip. If the tip is rotated upwards as part of the surgery, it may result in the upper lip appearing longer; however, this is a temporary phenomenon related to post-operative swelling. Once the swelling disappears, your smile will return to normal. If you have been bothered about the appearance or function of your nose, look no further than the Centre for Surgery for natural-looking nose job results.
