NOSE SURGERY

Rhinoplasty, aimed at enhancing facial aesthetics, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and has emerged as one of the most common facial plastic procedures.
The nose is recognized as the central feature of the face and plays a crucial role in a person’s appearance and self-esteem.
Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes, reduces, or augments the nose to improve its appearance or to address breathing problems associated with structural issues like a deviated septum or inadequate nasal wall support.
Samuel Mattine is a highly skilled and exclusive facial surgeon known for his expertise in primary and complex revision rhinoplasty.

At the Samuel Mattine Clinic, we offer a range of rhinoplasty procedures tailored to your needs. If you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your nose, our aesthetic rhinoplasty options are ideal.

TYPES OF RHINOPLASTY (NOSE SURGERY):

Various types of rhinoplasty are available to meet your specific needs. These include:

AESTHETIC RHINOPLASTY

You might consider rhinoplasty if you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your nose. This procedure can address various aspects of nasal structure, including size and shape, tip projection or rotation, and the relationship between the nose and upper lip. By improving these features, rhinoplasty can enhance facial balance and harmony.
During your consultation, Crisalix 3D imaging technology may be available for you to visualise the anticipated outcome of your rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty can significantly transform your appearance and lead to a life-changing boost in self-confidence.

FUNCTIONAL RHINOPLASTY

Functional rhinoplasty is an option for individuals experiencing problems with nasal breathing. The internal structures of the nose play a significant role in a person’s ability to breathe. Often, these issues stem from a deviated septum, which can cause the nose to appear crooked.
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum, thereby improving the nasal airway without altering the nose’s appearance. When combined with aesthetic rhinoplasty in a procedure known as septorhinoplasty, it effectively addresses both breathing difficulties and enhances the patient’s appearance.

REVISION RHINOPLASTY

If you are dissatisfied with the results of a previous nasal surgery, you may want to consider revision rhinoplasty. This procedure is suitable for individuals who have experienced unsatisfactory outcomes from their initial surgery, such as an excessively elevated nasal tip, loss of supporting structures that can lead to a collapsed or narrow bridge, or difficulties in breathing.
Revision rhinoplasty is considered a more complex procedure and often requires additional cartilage to reconstruct the nose. Mr. Mattine performs many revision rhinoplasty cases and is recognised as an expert in this field.

RECONSTRUCTIVE RHINOPLASTY

This procedure aims to restore missing parts of the nose or improve its function after the removal of tumors or previous nasal trauma from accidents.
Total or sub-total nasal reconstruction is considered one of the most challenging types of nasal surgeries, often requiring multiple stages to achieve the desired results.
Mr. Mattine is among a select few surgeons in the United Kingdom who perform total nasal reconstruction surgery and is regularly invited to lecture on this topic at international conferences.

RHINOPLASTY TECHNIQUES:

Surgical rhinoplasty can be performed either in an open or closed approach.

CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

All incisions in this procedure are made internally, resulting in no visible scars and reduced postoperative swelling. This technique is suitable for milder nasal deformities where extensive alterations are not expected.

OPEN RHINOPLASTY

This procedure involves making a small incision, typically 3 to 4 mm in size, discreetly located on the columella, which is the area on the underside of the nose. This technique gives the surgeon optimal access to all parts of the nose, enabling more effective management of complex and severe nasal deformities.
This is particularly beneficial in cases of revision rhinoplasty or when significant changes to the nasal structure are required.

NON-SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY

Non-surgical procedures, such as temporary fillers, can address minor imperfections in the nose and enhance its appearance. These techniques can add volume, camouflage a nasal hump, lift the tip, and conceal small defects.
However, it is important to note that the results are temporary. Therefore, this procedure should preferably be performed by qualified surgeons who possess extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and the potential management of related complications.
