Nose Surgery FAQs
1. Is rhinoplasty the right surgical procedure for me?
If you are looking to change the shape or size of your nose, a rhinoplasty (or nose job) could be right for you.
A nose job operation can reduce or enlarge the size of your nose, straighten it, remove bumps or correct a bulbous end.
2. How does nose surgery work?
There are different types of corrective nose surgery which are all performed in different ways, depending on the required outcome. Your Surgeon will discuss how he will perform your nose job before your operation.
3. Who will perform my rhinoplasty?
At Transform we only select the most knowledgeable and skilled rhinoplasty Surgeons. We regularly review our Surgeons’ patient satisfaction rate and results to ensure you always get the outcome you want.
4. Where will my nose job take place?
Your nose surgery will be carried out in one of our regulated cosmetic surgery hospitals which are centres of clinical excellence regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
5. Will I have to stay overnight in hospital?
You may be able to go home on the same day as your surgery depending on the type of nose surgery you have had. If a general anaesthetic is needed, you will be required to stay overnight in hospital where you will be cared for by our highly qualified and experienced staff.
6. What results can I expect from my nose surgery?
Your results will be dependent on the specific nose corrective surgery you have. Regardless of the specific changes, you will have a nose that is more proportionate to your face. View our nose job before and after pictures.
7. How long is the recovery period for rhinoplasty?
You are likely to experience bruising and swelling for 7-14 days. As such, we recommend that patients undergoing rhinoplasty plan a similar amount of time off work to recuperate. In some cases, you may experience post-operative swelling and stiffness inside and/or outside the nose for several months.
8. Can I combine nose surgery with other procedures?
You may wish to consider other corrective surgeries to balance your facial features. Many patients find cheek implants or chin implants can complement their nose surgery.
9. How much does a typical rhinoplasty cost?
A rhinoplasty costs from £2,900. Here at Transform, we don’t see why finance should be a barrier to your happiness; that’s why we offer 12 months interest free credit for nose surgery. Find out more about our cosmetic surgery finance options.
10. Is aftercare included in the costs?
Aftercare is included in the cost of your procedure. You will have a post-operative check at your local clinic at your convenience.
You will also be able to speak to our resident medical officer at any time after your surgery on our 24/7 Transform Patient Helpline.
