RHINOPLASTY WITH FAT GRAFTING (DAY CASE)

Rhinoplasty with fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure that combines surgical nose reshaping with natural fat transfer to improve the contour, balance, and overall appearance of the nose and surrounding facial features. During the procedure, the nose is refined through rhinoplasty while purified fat, taken from another area of the body, is strategically injected to soften contours, improve symmetry, and enhance facial harmony. As a day case procedure, patients are able to return home the same day following recovery and monitoring. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve refined, natural-looking results tailored to your facial structure.

Treatment Process

Rhinoplasty with fat grafting is typically performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 2–4 hours. It includes:

 

Your nasal structure, facial proportions, and treatment goals are carefully assessed. A personalised surgical plan is created.

 

 

General anaesthesia ensures a safe and comfortable procedure.

 

 

The nasal bone and cartilage are reshaped to refine the structure and appearance of the nose.

 

 

Fat is gently removed from a donor area such as the abdomen or thighs, purified, and strategically injected into targeted facial areas to improve contour and balance.

 

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

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.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Fat grafting helps soften contours, improve facial harmony, and restore volume naturally using your own tissue.

The rhinoplasty results are long-lasting. A portion of the transferred fat permanently survives once healing is complete.

Most incisions are hidden inside the nose or placed discreetly, resulting in minimal visible scarring.

Most patients return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks, although swelling continues to improve over time.

Our surgeons combine advanced rhinoplasty expertise with precision fat grafting techniques to achieve balanced, natural-looking facial enhancement tailored to each patient.
