What Can Rhinoplasty Change?

Rhinoplasty can address a wide range of cosmetic and functional concerns. During your consultation, Mr Whitehead will assess your nose and discuss which changes are achievable for your anatomy.

Surgical Technique

Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision on the columella provides full visibility of the nasal framework. This allows precise, controlled changes to bone and cartilage. The scar fades to become virtually invisible within months.

Ultrasonic Piezo

Piezoelectric instruments use ultrasonic vibrations to cut bone without damaging surrounding soft tissue. This means less bruising, less swelling, and a more predictable result compared to traditional osteotomies.

3D VECTRA Imaging

Before surgery, 3D imaging captures your nose from every angle. Mr Whitehead uses this to simulate potential changes, helping you visualise your result and ensuring you and your surgeon share the same goals.

Recovery at a Glance

Day of surgery: Go home the same day with a nasal splint in place.

Week 1: Splint removed. Bruising and swelling are at their peak but improving daily. Most patients take one week off work.

Week 2: Most bruising has resolved. Many patients are comfortable returning to desk work and social activities.

Weeks 4–6: Light exercise can resume. Contact sports should be avoided for 3 months.

3–12 months: Residual swelling gradually settles, particularly at the tip. Final results are typically visible at 12 months.
