OUR APPROACH TO YOUR Rhinoplasty Surgery
Rhinoplasty, often called a “nose job,” is a surgery to change the shape of your nose. It can be done for medical or cosmetic reasons. The aim is to seamlessly align your nose with the rest of your face to achieve a natural-looking result. It involves restoring the delicate balance between the nose and the other facial features. Our practitioners will guide you through the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Closed Rhinoplasty
We advocate for closed rhinoplasty, where the entire nose reshaping procedure is done from incisions inside the nose. As a result, there are no visible scars. Our techniques for performing a closed rhinoplasty are designed to avoid the need for you to use uncomfortable nasal packs.
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty results in a visible scar at the base of the nose as well as more prolonged swelling of the nasal tip following surgery. It is our opinion that open rhinoplasty surgery should be reserved for cases with specific issues of the nasal tip that cannot be corrected using our closed method.
Revision Rhinoplasty
At our Melbourne clinic, complications are unlikely following rhinoplasty surgery. However, because the nose is highly visible in the centre of the face, a patient may desire even the slightest asymmetry or unevenness to be revised. Learn about our revision surgery for an optimal recovery.
Recovery
No two recoveries are the same. You will be given the option to either have a day surgery, where you can go home on the same day as the operation, or you can opt for an overnight stay. Read more about our overnight stays and day surgeries for more information.
Recovery typically involves wearing a splint on the nose for approximately 1 week. We recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for at least 4 weeks following surgery. Most patients return to relatively regular activity and sedentary work after 1 week. You will receive all these details and personalised recommendations from our team to ensure you have an optimal recovery.
Associated Risks
All surgery carries risks, which are important to understand so that you can make a well-informed decision. Complications associated with rhinoplasty surgery include bleeding, infection, skin numbness, difficulty breathing, nasal septal perforation (hole in the nasal septum), poor scarring, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) and anaesthetic complications.
This listing is not all-inclusive, and patients may be at risk for additional complications depending on their medical and surgical history. A thorough discussion will occur during consultation with your doctor, including ways to mitigate risks before surgery and steps taken to treat complications should they occur.
Rhinoplasty for Two Generations
It is a rare privilege for a plastic surgeon to help 2 generations of the same family! We were thrilled when we recently received this photograph of mother and daughter proudly displaying their ‘perfect noses’ during their daughter’s wedding. Dr Kalus was the fortunate surgeon who had the privilege to operate on both mother and daughter and provide them both with the added self-assurance and confidence that rhinoplasty can bring.
