Primary (First-Time) Rhinoplasty

First-time nose reshaping surgery to improve appearance and/or breathing. Open or closed technique. Performed under general anaesthesia (1–3 hours). Bone and cartilage are reshaped to achieve the desired profile. Includes nasal splint for 7 days. Full process: Brighton consultation with digital simulation → Turkey pre-op tests → surgery → 1 night hospital → 5–7 days local follow-up → Brighton post-op checks at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Final result visible at 6–12 months.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Secondary nose surgery to correct or improve results from a previous rhinoplasty. More complex due to scar tissue and altered anatomy. May require cartilage grafting from ear or rib. Requires highly experienced surgeon. Longer recovery than primary rhinoplasty.

Septoplasty

Functional surgery to straighten a deviated nasal septum and improve breathing. No visible external changes. Often combined with rhinoplasty (septorhinoplasty) for both functional and aesthetic improvement. Internal splints for 5–7 days.

Septorhinoplasty

Combined aesthetic rhinoplasty with septum correction. Addresses both the appearance of the nose and breathing difficulties in a single surgery. Most comprehensive nasal procedure.

Tip Rhinoplasty

Focused reshaping of the nasal tip only — no work on the bridge or bone. Corrects bulbous, drooping, or asymmetric tip. Shorter procedure, faster recovery. Closed technique typically used.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Specialised rhinoplasty respecting and enhancing unique ethnic facial features. Tailored approach for Middle Eastern, Asian, or African nose structures. Focuses on natural-looking improvement while maintaining ethnic identity.

Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty

Advanced technique using ultrasonic instruments to reshape nasal bone with extreme precision. Less tissue trauma means significantly less swelling and bruising. Faster visible recovery. Ideal for patients who need precise bone work.

Preservation Rhinoplasty

Modern approach preserving the nose's natural structures as much as possible rather than removing and rebuilding. Maintains natural dorsal lines. Less swelling, more predictable results. Fastest-growing technique globally.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-invasive nose reshaping using hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections. No surgery, no anaesthesia, no downtime. Smooths bumps, lifts drooping tip, improves symmetry. Temporary results lasting 12–18 months. Can be performed at our Brighton clinic. Ideal for patients wanting to 'try before they commit' to surgery.
