Everything You Need to Know About Rhinoplasty

Описание: Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly requested facial procedures, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood.

In this video, I explain rhinoplasty from A to Z for patients considering treatment in the UK. The focus is on clear, honest education - whether your concerns are cosmetic, functional, or both.

This video covers cosmetic rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty (to improve breathing), and combined septorhinoplasty, where appearance and nasal function are addressed together.

Some patients are unhappy with the shape of their nose, others struggle with nasal blockage or breathing, and many experience both. In this video, Professor Chatrath explains how the nose’s structure and function are closely linked - and why a specialist ENT approach is essential when breathing is affected.

You’ll learn what happens during consultation, including:
• Detailed nasal examination
• Discussion of goals and expectations
• Assessment of nasal airflow and internal structures
• When imaging or further tests may be needed

The video explains, in patient-friendly terms:
• How rhinoplasty is performed
• Anaesthetic considerations
• Surgical techniques used to reshape and support the nose
• How function and appearance are preserved or improved

Recovery after rhinoplasty is gradual. This video explains:
• Early post-operative recovery
• Swelling, bruising, and nasal splints
• When breathing improves
• When final results are seen
• Activities to avoid during healing

As with any surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks. Professor Chatrath discusses:
• Common and rare complications
• Why perfection is unrealistic
• The importance of long-term nasal support
• When revision surgery may be considered
