Nose Reshaping
Reshapes the bridge, tip or nostrils so the nose suits the rest of the face, and can improve breathing at the same time.

What it is
Rhinoplasty changes the bone and cartilage under the skin. Most incisions are inside the nose; some need a small cut under the tip that fades well. We plan for a nose that looks like it was always yours.
Is it right for you
- Your face has finished growing, usually after 16 for women and 18 for men
- You want a change in shape, breathing, or both
- You do not smoke, or will stop six weeks before and after
- You are in good general health
Recovery
You go home the same day with a small splint on the nose. Swelling is greatest in the first week and settles slowly over a year.
- Week 1: splint off at your first review
- Weeks 1 to 2: back to desk work, bruising fades
- Week 6: exercise and glasses return
- Month 12: the tip reaches its final shape
Risks
Every operation carries risk. You will hear your own numbers at the consultation before you sign a consent form.
- Swelling that takes a year to settle fully
- A small change needed later, in about one in ten noses
- Temporary stuffiness while the inside heals
How long results last
The new shape is permanent. The nose keeps ageing naturally with the rest of the face.

Frequently Asked
Questions
You do not need to know before you book. Describe the change you want; Dr. Hart explains which options fit your anatomy, including non-surgical ones.
Yes. Every written quote lists the surgeon's fee, the facility, anesthesia, implants where used, garments and all follow-up visits, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Often, yes, as long as the total operating time stays safe for your health history. Dr. Hart will tell you plainly when staging two operations is the better choice.
Yes. About one patient in five is a man, most often for eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, chest contouring or body contouring after weight loss.
We ask for six months at a stable weight first. Contouring is then planned in stages, usually two or three operations over 12 to 18 months.
Modern implants are not lifetime devices, but many last well beyond ten years. We check them at every follow-up and explain the signs that mean it is time to review.
