Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)

The nose is the centre of the face, making it one of the most noticeable features. As such, any defect in the nose, however minor, can cause significant discomfort for the patient. Sinclair Gore offers a range of nose reshaping procedures to restore your confidence in your facial features.

Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty, often known as a nose job, is the process of surgically reshaping the nose to achieve the perfect shape. It involves entering the nasal cavity through an incision within the nasal passages, and then remodeling the cartilage and bone to reshape the tip, bridge or nostrils. Sinclair Gore is a proponent of ‘preservation rhinoplasty’, which aims to produce a smooth, natural nose appearance by preserving key components of the nasal bridge bone and cartilages.

Septal surgery: Septal surgery includes procedures designed to treat a deviated septum, which is when the cartilage and bone that divides the nasal passages is misaligned. While this is usually carried out to alleviate breathing problems, such as sleep apnea, it can also be used for cosmetic purposes to create a straighter nose that achieves your desired look.

Nasal Reconstruction: Nasal reconstruction has overlaps with rhinoplasty surgery, but it is designed for those who are missing skin, lining tissue or cartilage due to an accident, cancer or excessive drug ingestion through the nose. While these techniques overlap with cosmetic procedures, nasal reconstruction often requires more time and sometimes multiple stages to reshape the nose and restore it to a complete nose. This procedure can sometimes be funded by the NHS, as it is medically necessary, but patients wishing for a shorter wait and a choice of surgeon can choose to pay for it privately. 

Other Procedures: Nose reshaping is often carried out alongside other procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), a facelift / necklift (rhytidectomy or platysmaplasty) and chin implants (mentoplasty and genioplasty). These procedures and others can be carried out concurrently with a nose reshaping procedure or at a later date to create the appearance you desire. Sinclair Gore can advise you on a treatment plan that will create the right results for you.
