Female Rhinoplasty Sydney

Female Rhinoplasty is a nose reshaping surgery that can both provide a different visual aesthetic, and rectify any breathability issues for women of all ages. These days, women want a distinctive look that avoids the standard nose-job that offers a too perfect nose with a turned-up tip and cute appearance.

Some women may have previous nasal trauma due to an accident in their childhood, which affects both breathing and appearance; others may simply wish for a different visual aesthetic to one of the essential features of the face – the nose.

Dr. Hodgkinson can provide a natural and balanced look that suits the rest of the patient’s facial features.

How do I know if female nose surgery is right for me?

The primary goal of female rhinoplasty is the alteration of the shape and appearance of the nose, usually for cosmetic reasons. In some cases, deformities caused by an injury, breathing issues, and discomfort can also be rectified.

The primary visual goal is the creation of a subtle and natural look that works harmoniously with the face. You may want to consider this procedure if you:

• Wish your nose was a different size
• Are an Asian woman who would like a taller bridge
• Want the tip of your nose to have a different shape
• Require some refinement for the bridge of your nose
• Want a different width at the base of your nose
• Have a crooked nose
• Have humps in your nose you would like reduced
• Are experiencing issues with breathing
• Want a more feminine nose
• Want a more masculaine nose

What are the benefits of this procedure?

Rhinoplasty will improve the appearance of your nose, but another significant benefit experienced by patients is a boost to their self-confidence. If you are looking to rectify a breathing issue, you may also experience an improved quality of sleep.

The range of other cosmetic procedures for the facial region that can be performed by Dr. Hodgkinson can improve your body image and sense of self, something that offers benefits every day.

If further evaluation of breathing abilities is required, a CAT or MRI scan may be needed to help in the planning of the procedure. Dr. Hodgkinson gives significant importance and amounts of time to the preparation of every procedure to ensure the best outcomes are reached.

If I decide a nose job is right for me, what next?

Once the patient has found a nose shape they are happy with, the surgery is performed as an out-patient procedure at the Double Bay Day Surgery. Dr. Hodgkinson ensures that this fully licensed and accredited facility is equipped with the finest tools and team to ensure complete comfort for all patients.

The procedure will take roughly one and a half hours, after which you will be required to wear a nose splint for approximately one week. Work or studies can be resumed after seven to ten days with a mild analgesia available to reduce any discomfort you may experience.

How does a Rhinoplasty work and what if I have already had one?

The rhinoplasty procedure modifies the bones and cartilage in the nose to change its shape and size. This skin of the nose will adapt to the new shape over time as well.

If a previous rhinoplasty has been performed and requires rectifying, the secondary rhinoplasty, while somewhat more unpredictable, can correct issues created by a poorly performed initial primary rhinoplasty. Dr. Hodgkinson will assess the nasal skin in these cases as it is sometimes limited in its quality, requiring special attention.
