0121 456 7930Rhinoplasty is the medical term for what is commonly referred to as a nose job or nose reshaping. Many individuals are unhappy with the size and/or shape of their nose, and therefore consider rhinoplasty. It is one of the most common surgical treatments as the nose is key to a balanced face.
Rhinoplasty surgery allows you to re-shape as well as increase or decrease the size of the nose. Some common steps in a rhinoplasty include changing the shape and position of the tip, reducing the bridge and the nostrils, as well as changing the angle between the nose and the upper lip. Occasionally, breathing difficulties can be corrected at the same time.
There are two types of rhinoplasty: augmentation rhinoplasty and reduction rhinoplasty. Here at Kat and Co Aesthetics, we offer both types of rhinoplasty to our clients.
Augmentation rhinoplasty is surgery that changes the shape of the nose, usually by increasing the size and reduction rhinoplasty reduces the size of the nose. What procedure you have, depends on what you would like to achieve from your nose job.

A nose job can be carried out in several different ways. It may be done inside your nose or through a small external cut at the base (bottom) of your nose, in between your nostrils.
Your surgeon can change the shape of the bones within your nose or the cartilage in many ways, depending on how much needs to be added or removed, your nose structure and the materials available.

Hundreds of happy patients have had their surgery with Kat & Co. Check out what a few of them have to say:
I am absolutely over the moon. Every single member of the Kat and Co team are truly wonderful. Dave Green (anaesthetist), what a wonderful man, so funny and so professional. I immediately felt as ease around him, he talked me through everything so thoroughly. All of the surgical team there were AMAZING, they came over to say hello to me in the operating room but I cant remember all of their names but they were just fantastic.
I had been thinking about having this procedure for over 20 years. I am so glad I eventually took the plunge.
The procedure was explained to me and after meeting my Surgeon Mr Anari, I was completely sure I wanted to go ahead. He was able to answer all my questions and helped me to understand the procedure at all stages of the process.
I couldn’t be happier with the experience and care I received. Mr. Anari was honest, friendly, professional and trustworthy. The outcome is better than I could have imagined and would recommend Mr. Anari to anyone committed to having the procedure. Many thanks!

Everyone is different when it comes to their pain threshold. As the rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthetic, there should be no pain whilst completing this procedure. Post-surgery, there may be some discomfort due to the swelling and bruising. It is generally not a particularly painful procedure.
The cost of rhinoplasty depends on many factors which includes the complexity of the surgery, the surgeon and the results you wish to achieve from your rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty starts from £7,894 at Kat & Co.
Prior to the rhinoplasty procedure, your surgeon will go over with you a realistic expectation of the result. They will also discuss complications that may occur. There are some tips to follow that will help to keep the swelling and bruising to a minimum. Kat & Co will provide you with a list of these tips
In an open rhinoplasty, the plastic surgeon carries out the procedure by making an incision on the outside, between the nostrils, as well as the inside of the nose. In a closed rhinoplasty, all the incisions are made on the inside of the nose.
After a rhinoplasty, the new shape and size of the nose will not change significantly but the nose will age like everywhere else in the face. If a rhinoplasty is not carried out well, the internal structures will be unstable, and the nose may start to collapse with time. You may need a revision rhinoplasty at a later stage. This is a procedure which allows previous work to be corrected.
