What does nose job surgery involve?
Nose job surgery is always customised to the individual patient’s needs. However, there are several common steps to every nose job procedure, including:
A consultant anaesthetist will first administer a general anaesthetic to put you to sleep and keep you comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Here at the Centre for Surgery, our anaesthetists specialise in total intravenous anaesthesia, or TIVA for short, to permit a quick recovery with minimal risk of dizziness, drowsiness, or sickness in the postoperative period.
There are . A closed making all incisions within the nostrils, so there is no visible external scarring. An open procedure involves making a small incision on the columella at the base of the nose between the two nostrils.
Once the nose has been adequately exposed, cartilage or bone may be removed to reduce the size of a large nose. Depending on the procedure, cartilage grafts may be required to reshape and reconstruct the nose. The most common source of cartilage is the nasal septum.

The nose may be packed with gauze, and a nasal splint will be applied to the bridge of the nose to protect the healing tissues. The splint will be removed 7 days after the procedure, and you will see the immediate results.

Recovery after a nose job – what to expect
Once the nose job procedure is complete, we recommend resting with your head up on two pillows so that your head is higher than your chest. This will help to accelerate the disappearance of bruising and swelling. It is normal to experience a degree of sleepiness after the procedure due to the anaesthesia. This will wear off after 24 to 48 hours. We recommend having a family member or a close friend stay with you for the first one or two nights to assist with your recovery. It is normal to notice temporary bruising and discolouration of the lower eyelids for two weeks after a nose job. Nose swelling will take longer to resolve, with an average of 6-12 months. Whether people have a nose job or not, the nose’s structure changes one’s . Although it can be difficult to predict when the final results will be noticeable, most surgeons agree that nose job swelling should within 12 months.
