What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty—commonly known as a nose job—is a surgical procedure designed to reshape or refine the nose to improve facial balance or address functional issues such as breathing difficulties. At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, our skilled surgeons perform both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques based on individual needs.
Whether you’re looking to reduce a bump, refine the tip, straighten the bridge, or correct asymmetry, our team works closely with you to achieve subtle, natural results. We also offer revision rhinoplasty for those who have had previous procedures elsewhere.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your nose shape, skin type, and internal structures.
What Happens During Surgery?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will make precise incisions either inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the base of the nose (open rhinoplasty) to reshape the bone and cartilage.
Adjustments can include:
- Reducing or building up the nasal bridge
- Refining or repositioning the nasal tip
- Narrowing the nostrils
- Straightening the nose
- Correcting breathing obstructions
After reshaping, the nose is supported with internal splints and an external splint or dressing. You’ll be monitored post-surgery and receive tailored aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
Is Rhinoplasty Right For Me?
Rhinoplasty may be suitable for you if:
- You’re unhappy with the shape, size, or profile of your nose
- You’ve experienced trauma or injury that affected nasal appearance
- You want to correct breathing difficulties due to nasal structure
- You’re over 18 and in good general health with realistic expectations
During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals, anatomy, and suitability before recommending a personalised approach.
- Improved facial harmony and balance
- Enhanced profile and side view
- Boosted confidence in appearance
- Possible functional improvements (e.g., breathing)
- Performed by experienced GMC-registered surgeons in HIS-regulated facilities
As with all surgery, rhinoplasty carries some risks, which will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation. These may include:
- Bruising and swelling (temporary)
- Bleeding or infection
- Breathing difficulties
- Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with results
- Revision surgery in rare cases
All procedures are carried out with meticulous planning and follow-up to minimise these risks.

FAQ's

Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision at the base of the nose, which typically heals very well and becomes barely noticeable.
Yes, functional rhinoplasty can correct issues like a deviated septum or narrow nasal passages to improve airflow. This is assessed during your consultation.
We recommend rhinoplasty for individuals over the age of 18, once facial growth is complete. Exceptions may apply for medical cases.
