Q. I am 19 years of age and have an unsightly humped nose. if i were to come to you for rhinoplasty in order to obtain a straight profile how would you go about this. also is it possible that my nose may collapse following surgery (as i have read a few cases referring to collapsed noses). thank you,
A. Hi there. When someone asks me to simply remove a bump, then a rhinoplasty is relatively straightforward. It involves getting to the bones of the nose from inside the nostril, shaving down the hump and then pushing the bones back together again. The operation takes about an hour, most people stay one night with packs in the nose overnight, there’s a plaster on the nose for a week, and there is one stitch on either side of the nose where the bones have been broken to push them together. I can show you some pictures of people I have treated before if you come for a consultation and we can talk about the risks, which are obviously worrying you. If you do have a problem then we usually identify it within a year, and your covered for revision surgery during that time. Having said that, one of my patients had a minor problem two years after surgery and I tweaked things for free at that stage. So, while it’s important to be aware of risks, it’s also important to know what risks are most likely to occur with you and we can discuss these at a consultation.
