Rhinoplasty Surgery
Rhinoplasty is reshaping of your nose. This may be done to improve breathing for example if your septum is deviated and blocking air flow internally or after trauma or it may be done to improve the shape or correct the shape after trauma or to change the size of your nose. Many people have a mixture of all these reasons behind their decision to have a rhinoplasty.
The benefits of rhinoplasty include improved breathing, improvement of nose shape or both. This can have a major impact and improvement in quality of life..

Rhinoplasty usually takes between two and four hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether functional breathing concerns are also being addressed.
Most patients return home the same day, although individual treatment plans vary.
Initial swelling and bruising are common during the first two weeks following surgery. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work after around ten to fourteen days.
Although much of the healing occurs within the first few weeks, the nose continues to refine over many months, with final results developing gradually during the year after surgery.
Rhinoplasty can improve both the appearance and function of the nose. Patients may wish to address concerns such as a dorsal hump, nasal asymmetry, a drooping tip or breathing difficulties.
At Purity Bridge, Nora Nugent focuses on creating balanced, natural-looking results that complement the rest of the face rather than drawing attention to the nose itself.
As with any surgery, there are risks including bleeding, infection, asymmetry, scarring and changes in sensation.
Occasionally, further surgery may be required to refine the result. Your surgeon will discuss all potential risks in detail during consultation.
Rhinoplasty may be suitable if you are unhappy with the shape, size or function of your nose and have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve.
A detailed consultation will help determine whether rhinoplasty is the right option for your concerns.
Many patients actually experience improved breathing if functional issues are addressed during surgery. However, every nose is unique, and your surgeon will carefully assess your airway as part of the consultation process.
Both aesthetic and functional goals can often be addressed during the same procedure.
While you will notice changes immediately after the initial swelling settles, the final result can take up to a year or longer to fully develop.
Patience is important, as subtle improvements continue throughout the healing process.
Yes. Rhinoplasty is sometimes combined with chin surgery, eyelid surgery or other facial procedures to improve overall facial balance.
Your surgeon can advise whether combining treatments may help achieve your desired outcome.
