Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty in London with Dr Yannis Alexandrides at 111 Harley St. Explore nose reshaping, reduction, tip refinement, septorhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty.

What is rhinoplasty?

Overview

Rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, reshapes the nose’s bone and cartilage to improve facial harmony, correct structural problems, and, where needed, improve breathing. It is one of the most technically demanding procedures in aesthetic surgery, because every millimetre influences the balance of the whole face.

At 111 Harley St. in London, Dr Yannis Alexandrides studies your facial proportions, skin quality, ethnic background and nasal anatomy before creating a bespoke surgical plan. He favours the closed approach, with all incisions hidden inside the nostrils, and uses ultrasonic Piezo technology where appropriate for precise bone sculpting with less bruising and swelling.

The right procedure depends on your concern.

  • Primary Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose overall.
  • Reduction Rhinoplasty refines a prominent bridge or dorsal hump.
  • Tip Refinement (Mini Rhinoplasty) improves a bulbous or drooping tip without altering the bridge.
  • Alar Base Reduction narrows wide nostrils.
  • Septorhinoplasty corrects a deviated septum to improve breathing alongside appearance, and Revision Rhinoplasty rebuilds and corrects the results of previous surgery.

Your Journey

360° Approach

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr Yannis. He takes time to understand your facial anatomy, medical history, lifestyle, concerns and what you hope to achieve. Rather than simply performing the procedure requested, Dr Yannis considers whether surgery is appropriate and recommends the surgical, non-surgical or combined approach he believes will best achieve your desired result.

Your dedicated Patient Care Coordinator will be your first point of contact and will guide you throughout your journey at 111 Harley St.

Each of Dr Yannis’ patients receives a complimentary Skin Diagnostic Scan ahead of surgery, alongside a comprehensive pre-operative medical assessment led by our clinical team. This allows us to understand your skin health and overall wellbeing and create a personalised preparation plan ahead of your procedure.

Led our Lead Nurse, your clinical preparation may include specific skincare, LED light therapy, nutritional guidance, supplements and other protocols selected according to your individual needs.

Preparing the skin before surgery is an important part of our 360° approach. As the founder of 111SKIN, Dr Yannis has long championed the role of scientifically led skincare before and after surgical procedures.

Your personalised homecare and treatment protocol may incorporate 111SKIN products, and our Dramatic Healing Serum, alongside in-clinic treatments designed to strengthen and optimise the skin ahead of surgery and support the recovery process afterwards.

Every facelift is individually planned and performed using the surgical technique most appropriate for your anatomy and goals, from targeted facial lifting to advanced Deep Plane facial rejuvenation.

Surgery is performed within a highly controlled clinical environment with an experienced surgical and anaesthetic team, including Head Anaesthetist Dr Hish Said. Every aspect of your procedure is carefully considered with patient safety, surgical precision and a smooth transition into recovery at its core.

Our care does not end when your surgery is complete. Our specialist nursing team, led by Zuzana Pavlovska, supports you throughout your recovery with regular follow-ups and personalised post-operative protocols.

Depending on your procedure and recovery, your aftercare may incorporate ELIXIR, LED light therapy, specialist skincare, scar and wound care, nutritional support and other treatments designed to support healing, reduce downtime and optimise your result.

Facial rejuvenation is a journey rather than a single procedure. As your face heals and your results settle, we can create a personalised long-term care programme to support your skin quality and overall result.

This may include 111SKIN homecare, UltraClear laser resurfacing, advanced non-surgical treatments, injectables, skin treatments and nutritional support. With surgical and non-surgical specialists under one roof, your care can continue to evolve with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the bone and cartilage of the nose to improve its appearance, its function or both. At 111 Harley St., every rhinoplasty is planned around your facial proportions, skin quality and breathing, so the result looks natural and in harmony with your face.
Which type of rhinoplasty do I need?
The right procedure depends on your concern. Reduction Rhinoplasty refines a prominent nose or dorsal hump; Tip Refinement reshapes the nasal tip alone, Alar Base Reduction narrows wide nostrils, Septorhinoplasty corrects a deviated septum alongside cosmetic reshaping, and Revision Rhinoplasty corrects the results of previous surgery. Each procedure is explained on its own page, and your consultation with Dr Yannis confirms the best option.
How much does rhinoplasty cost in London?
Rhinoplasty at 111 Harley St. starts from £10,000. Tip Refinement starts from £6,500, Alar Base Reduction from £5,500 and Revision Rhinoplasty from £12,500. Your personalised quotation is confirmed after consultation with Dr Yannis and finance options are available.
Is rhinoplasty permanent?
Yes, rhinoplasty results are permanent. Once the reshaped nose has fully healed it keeps its new shape, although natural ageing continues over time. Swelling settles gradually, with the final refinement of the nose typically visible between 12 and 18 months after surgery.
How long is recovery after rhinoplasty?
Most patients return to work within 7 to 14 days of rhinoplasty, once the protective nasal splint is removed at the one-week appointment. Bruising and swelling improve over the first two weeks, light exercise resumes after around three weeks and full exercise after six weeks.
What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty hides all incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no external scar, and is favoured by Dr Yannis whenever appropriate. Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision across the columella for greater visibility in complex or revision cases, and it heals to a barely perceptible scar.
What is Piezo rhinoplasty?
Piezo rhinoplasty uses ultrasonic technology to sculpt the nasal bones with exceptional precision while protecting surrounding soft tissue. Compared with traditional instruments, it typically causes less bruising and swelling and supports a smoother recovery. Dr Yannis uses Piezo technology where appropriate across primary, reduction and revision procedures.
Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing?
Yes. Septorhinoplasty corrects a deviated septum at the same time as reshaping the nose, improving airflow and appearance in one operation. Revision surgery can also correct breathing difficulties caused by a previous rhinoplasty.
Am I suitable for rhinoplasty?
You may be suitable for rhinoplasty if you are unhappy with the size, shape or symmetry of your nose, or if you have breathing difficulties caused by its internal structure. Good general health and realistic expectations matter most. Dr Yannis assesses your anatomy, skin thickness and goals at consultation before recommending a bespoke surgical plan.
