RHINOPLASTY (DAY CASE)

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to improve the size, shape, symmetry, or structure of the nose. A day case rhinoplasty allows patients to undergo surgery and return home the same day after recovery and monitoring. The procedure can enhance facial balance, refine nasal contours, and improve breathing issues related to structural concerns. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use advanced rhinoplasty techniques to deliver natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s facial anatomy.

Treatment Process

Rhinoplasty (Day Case) is typically performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 2–3 hours. It includes:

 

 

Your nasal structure, breathing function, facial proportions, and treatment goals are carefully assessed.

 

 

General anaesthesia ensures a safe and comfortable procedure.

 

 

The surgeon reshapes the nasal bone, cartilage, or both to achieve the desired appearance and improve function where needed.

 

 

Incisions are closed carefully, and a nasal splint or dressing is applied to support healing.

 

 

Patients are monitored after surgery and are usually able to return home later the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.
