Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is often the first option people choose to improve their appearance and personality. The nose is the first point the eye is drawn to in a well-proportioned face, so after rhinoplasty the change is clearly visible, even when the shape changes only slightly, and the face gains more depth. Results depend on each person.

If your facial structure and original nasal structure have no problems, one primary rhinoplasty may be enough for a good result. If the nasal structure has problems, such as a tilted nasal structure, contracted scar tissue or a deviated septum, the surgeon needs to consider correcting them together with rhinoplasty, which makes surgery more complex. This does not mean the nose shape after the first rhinoplasty cannot add depth to the face. At S45 Clinic, experienced surgeons analyse your facial structure, overall proportions and nasal structure to choose a rhinoplasty technique that suits you.

What Helps You Avoid Nose Reshaping After Your First Rhinoplasty?

1. Choosing a Surgeon Experienced in the Nose Shape You Want

at least 10 years of experience in nose surgery
results in nose shapes you like, and experience correcting misshapen nasal structures
approachable, explains clearly and designs a nose shape that suits your facial structure

2. Planning Your Rhinoplasty

a detailed analysis of your facial structure and proportions
a clear explanation of the steps and risks
time to consider and answers to all your questions
prepare example photos of the nose you want
tell the surgeon about all your problems and concerns
ask about a backup plan if the result is not as expected
ask to see results on faces similar to yours
ask in detail about the rhinoplasty techniques the surgeon will use

3. Being Ready for Surgery

You need to be 18 to 20 years old or older, when the bone structure has finished growing, so the shape is less likely to change.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid surgery.
If you have health problems, take anticoagulants (blood thinners) or have a blood vessel disorder, tell the surgeon.
If you have a long-term condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, consult the surgeon to plan suitable care.
If you have a cold or an infected wound on the day of surgery, recover fully before having rhinoplasty.

4. Cases That Are Usually Simpler to Correct in One Operation

a wide, rounded nasal tip that you want slimmer
a long nose that you want shorter
a curved bridge that you want straighter

Complex Cases or Cases With Other Problems Need Detailed Assessment by the Surgeon to Lower the Chance of Repeated Nose Reshaping
