What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to adjust the shape, size, or structure of the nose. It can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons, helping to improve aesthetic appearance or address medical concerns such as breathing difficulties.
This surgery involves reshaping the nasal bones, cartilage, or tissue to achieve your desired outcome. Rhinoplasty can address various issues, including:
- Reducing or increasing the size of the nose.
- Correcting nasal asymmetry or a crooked nose.
- Refining the nasal tip or bridge.
- Resolving breathing problems caused by structural abnormalities, such as a deviated septum.
Mr Aftab Ahmed performs rhinoplasty in Nottingham and Doncaster, combining technical expertise with a patient-centred approach to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your confidence and wellbeing.

What Happens in Rhinoplasty Surgery
Rhinoplasty surgery involves reshaping the nose using either an open or closed surgical technique, depending on the changes you want to achieve.
Open Rhinoplasty
This approach involves making a small incision in the soft tissue between the nostrils (the columella). The skin is carefully lifted to allow full visibility of the nasal structures underneath. This technique is commonly used for procedures such as nose reduction, where bone or cartilage is removed to make the nose smaller.
Closed Rhinoplasty
In this method, incisions are made inside the nasal passageways, meaning there are no external cuts. Closed rhinoplasty is often used for more minor changes, such as reshaping the tip of the nose.
The procedure is performed under local or general anaesthetic, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout. Recovery typically involves around seven days of rest, during which swelling and bruising will gradually improve. Pain relief will be provided to help you manage any discomfort during the healing process.
For certain procedures, such as nose augmentation, where the nose is made larger, cartilage or bone may be grafted from another area of the body. This can include cartilage from the ear, or bone from the ribs, skull, or other locations, depending on your individual needs.

How Long Does it Take to Recover From Rhinoplasty?
Initial recovery takes around 1 to 2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising will gradually improve. Full healing and final results can take up to 12 months as the nose continues to settle and refine over time.
Tips For Before A Rhinoplasty Surgery
Preparing for rhinoplasty surgery is an important step to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery. Here are some key tips to keep in mind:
- Stop Smoking: If you smoke, it’s essential to quit at least four weeks before surgery and remain smoke-free for at least four weeks after. Smoking can significantly delay healing and increase the risk of complications.
- Avoid Certain Medications: Some medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood-thinning supplements, should be avoided in the weeks leading up to your surgery as they can increase the risk of bleeding. Always consult your surgeon for a list of medications to avoid.
- Arrange for Support: Plan ahead for someone to accompany you on the day of surgery and assist you at home during the initial recovery period.
- Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration helps your body prepare for surgery and heal afterwards, so ensure you’re drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your procedure.
- Follow Pre-Op Instructions: Your surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your needs, such as when to stop eating or drinking before surgery. Be sure to follow these guidelines carefully to avoid any delays or complications on the day of your procedure.
Is Rhinoplasty Risky?
Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty does carry some risks, but it is generally considered safe when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon like Mr Aftab Ahmed. Common risks include swelling, bruising, infection, or temporary breathing difficulties, but these are typically manageable and improve during recovery. Mr. Ahmed will discuss all potential risks during your consultation and ensure you’re well-informed before proceeding.
How Old Do You Have to Be to Get Rhinoplasty?
In most cases, rhinoplasty is recommended for individuals aged 18 or older, as the nose needs to be fully developed before surgery. For younger patients, surgery may be considered in rare circumstances, such as after trauma or for medical reasons, but this will depend on the individual’s situation. Mr. Ahmed will assess your age, maturity, and suitability for surgery during your consultation.
