    Types of Rhinoplasty

    WRITTEN BY ALICE | CONTENT APPROVED FOR MEDICAL ACCURACY BY DR YANNIS | UPDATED 2024/06/11

    Rhinoplasty is a facial surgery that essentially changes the structure of your nose – the motivation behind the surgery can either be changing the physical structure or improving your breathing by opening the nasal passages.

    Rhinoplasty

    The nose is structured into three main sections, the upper nose is made up of bone (nasal bone) and then we have the upper lateral cartilage and the lower lateral cartilage. Rhinoplasty can effectively change all three areas of the nose (skin, cartilage, and bone) but determining the exact change is advised during your consultation with your doctor. At 111 Harley St., we take many factors into consideration such as your facial anatomy and also address any limitations.

    Rhinoplasty can either be an open or closed surgery – an open surgical approach involves the surgeon making their incisions on the underside in the upper lateral cartilage, whilst closed surgery means the surgeon will make their incision inside the nostril, the approach is different to each patient and will be advised during consultation.

    The Different Types of Rhinoplasty

    It is important to note the different styles of Rhinoplasty available at the 111 Harley St. clinic with a range of concise options, we work with you to determine the type that would suit your goals and expectations accordingly.

    Reduction Rhinoplasty

    Reduction Rhinoplasty

    This type of surgery reduces the overall size and volume of the nose, often by reducing the size of nostrils, it harmonises any irregularities or bumps along the bridge of the nose as well as dramatically improves the proportions.

    Augmentation Rhinoplasty

    Augmentation Rhinoplasty alters the nose to improve its shape. By enhancing and defining, we use autogenous tissue or silicone implants to lengthen, re-structure or carve into a preferred shape.

    Tip Refinement

    Alar Reduction

    Alar Reduction surgery restructures the width and base of the nose and nostrils.

    Tip Refinement

    Tip Refinement surgery redefines the lower third of the nose (lower lateral cartilage) but preserves the rest of the nasal structure. This procedure would be best for those wanting to reduce a larger or more bulbous nasal tip.

    Post Trauma Rhinoplasty

    Post-Trauma Rhinoplasty

    Post-trauma rhinoplasty resolves any previous trauma to the nose when the structure has become damaged or altered. The procedure will involve the surgeon rebuilding and restoring the nose to its original appearance (as much as possibly can be done).

    Revision Rhinoplasty

    This extensive surgery involves correcting the nose for those who have either suffered from severe injuries or congenital abnormalities.

    Septorhinoplasty

    Septorhinoplasty

    This surgery involves reshaping the nose and septum (the cartilage that divides the two nostrils inside the nose). This procedure is best suited for those that experience breathing problems as the results will help to improve the medical condition.

    Septoplasty

    Similar to a Septorhinoplasty, in terms of helping to improve breathing but a septoplasty is purely for medical reasons as opposed to cosmetic reasons. Correcting a deviated septum and improving the nasal passages, this less invasive approach will improve breathing and snoring overall. If wanting to improve the appearance of the nose, we recommend combining this treatment with another style of rhinoplasty.
