Rhinoplasty FAQs
In roughly 25% of consultations, Dr. Frati may not advise a rhinoplasty procedure. This underscores the ethical standards and professionalism upheld by all surgeons at Dr Frati Cosmetic Surgery. Primarily, we are a healthcare facility, and our clinical decisions are entirely free from commercial influences.
The primary objective of the consultation is to empower all patients to make well-informed and wise choices regarding the possibility of a rhinoplasty procedure. Dr. Frati’s role is to facilitate this decision-making process, making the consultation a collaborative meeting between two experts: you and Dr. Frati.
How much is Rhinoplasty?
Depending on many factors such as open or closed rhinoplasty’s and also the bespoke requirements of each patient, you can expect rhinoplasty costs to start at £8,000 for closed and £10,300 for open rhinoplasty.
How long does it take to recover from Rhinoplasty ?
Whilst we would recommend to take around 2 weeks off work for recovery, it may take up to 6 months for rhinoplasty swelling to completely disappear.
There are several steps you can take to help speed up your rhinoplasty recovery period, these can include:
-
Adhere to Medication Regimen: Dr. Frati may prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to manage pain and prevent infection. It is important to adhere to the prescribed medication regimen and continue taking it until advised to do so by your surgeon.
-
Avoid Smoking: Smoking slows the healing process, triggers infections, and prolongs recovery time. It is recommended highly to not smoke during recovery from Rhinoplasty.
-
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Dr. Frati will schedule aftercare appointments to check your progress and make sure the proper healing of your nose. It is imperative to attend these appointments.
-
Adhere to Postoperative Guidelines: Dr. Frati will furnish you with specific instructions for postoperative care, encompassing nose cleansing, sleeping positions, and scheduled follow-up visits. It is imperative to meticulously follow these instructions to mitigate complications and expedite the healing process.
-
Maintain an Elevated Head Position: Keeping your head elevated high reduces swelling. Use pillows to prop yourself up when sitting or lying down.
-
Utilise Cold Compresses: Applying cold compresses to your face can aid in reducing swelling and bruising. Ice packs or frozen peas wrapped in a cloth can be used for this purpose.
-
Refrain from Strenuous Activity: For at least two weeks following surgery, abstain from strenuous activities and heavy lifting. This precaution serves to minimise the risk of bleeding and swelling.
Is Rhinoplasty the best choice for me?
This versatile procedure addresses a wide array of issues, encompassing:
1. Correcting a bulbous tip: A bulbous tip denotes a round or rounded appearance at the nose’s end. Rhinoplasty can refine and define the tip’s shape for a more elegant look.
2. Straightening a crooked nose: Crooked noses can result from congenital factors or injuries. Rhinoplasty can realign the nose, enhancing its symmetry.
3. Eliminating a bridge hump: A hump on the nose bridge, stemming from congenital or injury-related factors, can be removed through rhinoplasty to create a smoother, more natural bridge.
4. Balancing nostril asymmetry: Some individuals exhibit unevenly sized or shaped nostrils. Rhinoplasty can rectify this asymmetry, enhancing the overall nose appearance.
5. Correcting a deviated septum: A deviated septum occurs when nasal cartilage and bone are misaligned, causing breathing difficulties. Rhinoplasty can rectify this issue, improving nasal airflow.
6. Reducing nose size: Some seek rhinoplasty to diminish overall nose size, achieving better facial harmony.
7. Reshaping the nose: Individuals may desire nose reshaping to enhance appearance or maintain facial proportion.
8. Enhancing breathing: Structural issues or a deviated septum can impede nasal breathing, which rhinoplasty can address, ultimately improving airflow.
It’s essential to recognise that rhinoplasty procedures vary according to each patient’s unique requirements and concerns. Dr Frati will evaluate your case and recommend the most suitable procedure to attain the desired outcome.

Dr. Frati excels in both primary and revision rhinoplasty, specialising in both aesthetic and reconstructive nose surgery. He is well-regarded for his patient-centric and thorough approach, consistently delivering natural results following rhinoplasty procedures.
What are the risks to Rhinoplasty?
When considering rhinoplasty, it’s essential to understand that like any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks involved. However, choosing a highly reputable and experienced surgeon can significantly minimise these risks and ensure a successful outcome. Dr. Frati has built his reputation on his expertise, cutting-edge techniques, and meticulous aftercare, making him an excellent choice for patients seeking rhinoplasty.
One of the primary risks associated with rhinoplasty is the potential for complications during or after the procedure. These can include bleeding, infection, adverse reactions to anesthesia, or poor wound healing. However, under the care of an experienced surgeon like Dr. Frati, who is well-versed in the latest advancements in rhinoplasty techniques, the likelihood of such complications is significantly reduced.
Another risk to consider is the possibility of unsatisfactory aesthetic results. However, Dr. Frati’s exceptional reputation and extensive experience in rhinoplasty make him highly skilled at achieving natural and harmonious outcomes that align with each patient’s unique facial features and desires.
To further mitigate risks, Dr. Frati emphasises meticulous aftercare, closely monitoring patients’ progress and providing necessary guidance throughout the healing process. This personalised approach ensures optimal recovery and minimizes the potential for complications.
What scars will I have after my Rhinoplasty Procedure?
The type and location of scars resulting from a nose job (rhinoplasty) are contingent on the specific technique employed by Dr. Frati. In an “open” rhinoplasty, an incision is made across the columella (the skin between the nostrils), enabling the surgeon to lift the skin from the underlying nasal structures. This grants access to the underlying cartilage and bone for necessary adjustments. In a “closed” rhinoplasty, all incisions are internal, minimising visible scarring. Nevertheless, the chosen technique will also consider individual cases, patient requirements, and Dr. Frati’s preference.
Following the surgery, incisions are closed with sutures, and the healing process spans several weeks to months. Once healing is complete, most scars are concealed within the natural creases of the nose, making them inconspicuous. Nonetheless, it’s important to bear in mind that the final results of the surgery may not be immediately apparent. It may take several months for swelling to subside and for the definitive shape of the nose to emerge.
It’s essential to acknowledge that scarring is an inherent component of any surgical procedure. While all possible efforts are made to minimise scarring, there is no absolute guarantee that scars will remain entirely imperceptible. Therefore, it is crucial to discuss potential scarring with Dr. Frati before opting for the surgery.
How do I prepare for Rhinoplasty?
Preparation for rhinoplasty, involves several crucial measures to facilitate a smooth surgery and a comfortable, speedy recovery. Here are key steps that patients should take in readiness for rhinoplasty:
- Consultation with a Qualified Plastic Surgeon: It’s essential to consult with a seasoned plastic surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty, such as Dr. Frati. The surgeon will assess the patient’s unique case, discuss their surgery objectives, and provide a comprehensive overview of the procedure, including potential risks and complications.
- Medical Evaluation: Patients must undergo a medical evaluation to ensure they are in good health and eligible for safe surgery. Dr. Frati will review your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and order any necessary lab tests.
- Smoking Cessation and Medication Review: Smoking can impede the healing process, so patients should quit smoking at least six weeks before the surgery. Additionally, certain medications, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), should be avoided, as they can elevate the risk of bleeding.
- Arrange Post-Operative Care: You should make arrangements for post-operative care, including transportation home after the surgery and having someone to stay with them for the initial few days to assist with tasks like bathing and dressing.
- Adherence to Pre-Operative Instructions: Dr. Frati will furnish the patient with detailed pre-operative instructions, covering dietary and beverage guidelines, pre-surgery preparation, and post-surgery wound care. Adhering closely to these instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.
- Understanding the Recovery Process: The recovery following rhinoplasty can span several weeks. You should familiarise yourself with what to expect during this phase and plan accordingly. Swelling and bruising are normal post-surgery effects, and activities such as sports, heavy lifting, and exercise should be avoided for at least two weeks.
- Realistic Expectations: It is paramount for patients to harbour realistic expectations regarding the surgery’s outcomes. It is important to comprehend that the final results will only become visible once the swelling has entirely subsided.
By following these steps, you can effectively prepare for rhinoplasty, ensuring a smooth surgical experience with Dr. Frati and a comfortable, expedited recovery.
What's the difference between Male and Female Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a widely performed cosmetic surgery procedure for both women and men. Notably, in the UK, it stands as the most frequently sought-after cosmetic surgery among men.
This procedure incorporates recognised surgical techniques suitable for both men and women, although gender differences in nasal structure yield distinct treatment goals. These structural distinctions often lead to different objectives for each gender.
Patients opt for rhinoplasty for various reasons, including addressing functional issues like breathing difficulties, enhancing the nose’s aesthetics in harmony with their facial features, boosting self-confidence, and rectifying facial asymmetry. Common nasal irregularities include dorsal humps, bulbous or boxy tips, septal deviations, droopy nasal tips, narrow or wide noses, and noses deviated due to injury. The rhinoplasty surgeon’s primary role is to identify the distinguishing features between male and female noses and devise surgical strategies to correct these abnormalities.
In men, rhinoplasty frequently involves achieving a straighter angle, enhancing definition, and reducing bulbous features. This results in a more pronounced appearance that complements the overall facial aesthetics. Many men also seek rhinoplasty to correct nose deviations from past injuries or to smooth out localised irregularities.
Conversely, women often opt for more subtle, less conspicuous changes to maintain facial balance. A commonly requested procedure is to reduce the appearance of a droopy nasal tip, often associated with a dorsal hump. Our surgeons, for both men and women, are skilled in addressing individual nasal concerns that hold personal significance. Typically, men seek a more chiseled or defined nose without excessive narrowing that could create a pinched nasal tip. The art of rhinoplasty surgery lies in tailoring each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy to help them achieve their objectives.
In many instances, there are marked differences in nasal structure between men and women. Women often have shorter noses and thinner skin, while many men possess thicker, more sebaceous skin. This thicker skin can lead to a larger, bulbous nasal tip, a feature more common in men and sometimes associated with a condition called rhinophyma.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a surge of video conferencing, making many men more self-conscious about their appearance during these virtual interactions. Rhinoplasty distinguishes itself from other cosmetic surgeries by not only enhancing aesthetics but also improving the nose’s functionality to restore overall facial balance. Patients, particularly men, who undergo rhinoplasty often report heightened self-confidence, leading to increased comfort in their appearance during video calls.
Male nose job surgery can be combined with other facial procedures, with the most prevalent combination being chin augmentation using an implant to achieve a more defined and stronger chin profile in addition to rhinoplasty.
As one of the UK’s most reputable private rhinoplasty units, Dr. Frati is proficient in a range of rhinoplasty techniques, including open rhinoplasty, closed rhinoplasty, septo-rhinoplasty, rhino tip surgery, ultrasonic rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty Anaesthesia Options
During rhinoplasty surgery, anaesthesia is administered to ensure the patient’s comfort and freedom from pain during the procedure. Various anaesthesia options are available for rhinoplasty, with the choice depending on the patient’s individual needs and preferences.
Here are the most common anesthesia options used during rhinoplasty:
1. Local Anaesthesia – Local anaesthesia involves injecting a numbing agent directly into the surgical site. It is typically used for minor procedures where the patient doesn’t need to be fully unconscious. Local anaesthesia is often complemented with IV sedation, a mild form of anesthesia that induces relaxation and drowsiness.
2. IV Sedation – IV sedation, administered through a vein, is a gentle form of anaesthesia that makes the patient drowsy and relaxed while allowing them to respond to commands and maintain independent breathing. IV sedation is frequently combined with local anaesthesia.
3. General Anaesthesia (Total Intravenous Anaesthesia – TIVA) – General anaesthesia, known as TIVA when administered through an IV, induces a state of sleep and unconsciousness during the procedure. This type of anaesthesia is typically reserved for more complex surgeries or patients who cannot tolerate the procedure with IV sedation or local anaesthesia.
The choice of anaesthesia is determined by the patient’s specific needs and preferences, as well as the complexity of the surgery. Factors such as the patient’s medical history, current health conditions, and Dr. Frati’s recommendation are considered in selecting the most appropriate anaesthesia option. Ultimately, the patient will collaborate with an anaesthesiologist to make the best decision.
It’s essential to emphasise that, regardless of the anaesthesia type chosen, the patient will be under continuous monitoring by an anesthetist throughout the procedure to ensure their safety and comfort.
When considering rhinoplasty, it’s essential to understand that like any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks involved. However, choosing a highly reputable and experienced surgeon can significantly minimise these risks and ensure a successful outcome. Dr. Frati has built his reputation on his expertise, cutting-edge techniques, and meticulous aftercare, making him an excellent choice for patients seeking rhinoplasty.

What are the most likely reasons to want Rhinoplasty?
Numerous motivations drive individuals to opt for a rhinoplasty, also commonly known as a nose job. Among the primary reasons are:
1. Rectifying congenital defects or injuries: Some individuals are born with noses featuring irregular shapes or structural issues, while others may have experienced nose injuries during their lives. Rhinoplasty can effectively address these concerns, enhancing both the nose’s form and function.
2. Enhancing breathing: Structural problems or a deviated septum can obstruct nasal airflow, leading to difficulties in breathing through the nose. Rhinoplasty can provide a solution by correcting these issues and improving respiratory function.
3. Aesthetic improvements: Many people choose rhinoplasty primarily for cosmetic purposes. They may be dissatisfied with the size or shape of their nose or believe it does not harmonise with their other facial features. Rhinoplasty offers the means to reshape the nose, reduce its size, or enhance overall symmetry.
4. Bump removal: Individuals with nasal bumps or humps on the bridge of their nose often seek rhinoplasty to eliminate these imperfections and achieve a more harmonious nose appearance.
5. Nostril size reduction: Some people have larger-than-desired nostrils and may opt for rhinoplasty to reduce their size, thereby improving the nose’s aesthetics.
6. Deviated septum correction: A deviated septum can hinder breathing and may be addressed alongside rhinoplasty to restore proper nasal function.
It is crucial for individuals to maintain realistic expectations and gain a comprehensive understanding of the procedure before deciding to undergo rhinoplasty. A qualified plastic surgeon will assess each patient’s case, discuss the anticipated outcomes, and ensure they are well-informed about the process.

Rhinoplasty London Step by Step Guide.
Rhinoplasty is mainly done under general anaesthesia.
The surgeon creates incisions either along the columella or within the nostrils to access the underlying bone and cartilage.
To achieve the desired results, the surgeon utilises specialist surgical instruments to reshape the nose’s bone structure. This process may include repositioning or adjusting the bones by carefully breaking and realigning them, as well as using small grafts to add or remove bone as needed.
The cartilage, which offers structural support to the nose, may also be reshaped. This can entail repositioning or removing cartilage, or introducing grafts to specific areas
The surgeon then closes the incisions using surgical tape or sutures.
A splint is attached to the outside area of the nose to contain its newfound shape and protect it during the healing phase.
After the procedure, patients will need a period of restful recovery lasting several weeks. Swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and the final results will become visible over the course of several months.
