and / or the tip of the nose. The surgeon will reshape the nose taking
into account ALL your facial features. All our surgeons are fully experienced
and qualified in this particular medical field.
Sometimes an internal deformity can affect your breathing. In most cases
this can be rectified at the same time.
How long before I can see the result?
Once the plaster has been taken off, you will see a difference. However,
the final result can sometimes take up to 6 months. This is very much
the case of a patient needing patience.
The patient can expect a small degree of swelling for the first few weeks
and start enjoying the new shape after this time.
When can I start my normal activities again?
Bending over and strenuous exercise should be avoided for the first few
days. It is advisable that the client returns to work a week later.
Will there be any scars?

complications are rare and usually minor. The complications that may occur
are a reaction to the anaesthesia, infection or nosebleeds. You should
discuss any concern you may have with your surgeon before your operation
is performed.
