There is no substutute for face to face consultation with your ENT surgeon but you may find the following information helpful if contemplating surgery. Where possible I can offer free advice via email but please feel free to contact me at [email protected] to discuss your requirements or book a fixed fee consultation.
In general, purely cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery will not be available on the NHS. Nasal form and function however are intimately related and in some cases, nasal blockage due to a twisted nasal septum (the middle wall separating the two sides of the nose) may be addressed with septorhinoplasty surgery when there is also an external or cosmetic concern.
Septorhinoplasty is therefore an operation which aims to correct both nasal blockage due to deviation of the nasal septum or other damage or asymmetry in the nasal tissues and at the same time problems with external nasal appearance such as a broad or bent bridge of the nose, a twisted nose or significant nasal hump. Many of these findings may occur in combination following nasal trauma.
