Nose reshaping or rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure to improve the appearance of the nose and alter its shape. There are several techniques used in order to achieve this but it primarily involves operating on the bones and cartilage that give your nose its shape and structure.
A rhinoplasty (or nose job) is usually performed under general anaesthetic and takes between an hour and an hour and a half. During the procedure, the tip of your nose is refined by removing some of the cartilage. If you have a hump (dorsum) on your nose, it can be shaved down for a more refined look. The nasal bones can be expertly straightened and narrowed by breaking and then setting them through a process called Infracture. Part of your nose may need to be rebuilt or reconstructed.
As a council member of the British Society of Rhinoplasty surgeons, Graham Offer provides expertise in rhinoplasty. He also maintains an interest in nasal reconstruction with rib grafts in his NHS practice. Achieving a nose that balances with your facial features is crucial. Graham takes time to understand your desired outcome and discuss in detail what you hope to achieve through multiple consultations. Choosing a nose based solely on appearance may not compliment the rest of your face. Graham Offer will guide you through the process and use photographs of patients to try to explain what is possible and the potential risks involved.

This lady wanted the prominent hump over the bridge of her nose removed. Graham performed the procedure as a Closed Rhinoplasty. The result softens her appearance and the nose now balances her chin.
The results here for this lady are incredible, she’s so happy.
This lady was concerned with the appearance of her nose. She felt it was too big for her face and often avoided having photographs taken from the side. From this profile view, it can be seen that the nose has a hump on the bridge and the tip is slightly hooked. Graham used an Open Rhinoplasty technique to change the shape of the nose. This has enabled me to remove the hump and also to totally remodel the tip of the nose. The post operative picture (6months) shows new shape which fits her face better. It is important to get the right balance between the nose and the chin.
This gentleman had a very prominent nose which projected out from his face. By performing an Open Rhinoplasty, Graham was able to recess the tip back towards his face and also to remove the dorsal hump. The result is more balanced to his face whilst still retaining a masculine stronger profile.
This lady had a boxy tip of the nose, combined with a prominent dorsal hump. Graham has used a open rhinoplasty technique to change the shape of the tip and reduce the size of the dorsum.Â
Reduction of the dorsum of the nose along with some tip recession, to improve the profile. Tip recession (the movement of the position of the tip back towards the face) is more surgically challenging than removal of the dorsal hump. In this case, Graham has had to use an open rhinoplasty technique in order to do this.
Again, the profile is improved as the smaller nose is better matched to the face and chin. The procedure can make a huge difference to a patients self esteem and confidence.

Every time I look in the mirror, I am reminded it was one of the best decisions. It made such a difference to my face and the fact that the procedure could be performed by local anaesthetic was an added bonus
Just to say that I was very pleased with the pre and post operative treatment and support from you and your team, and I am delighted with the results. This has made such a difference to how I feel about myself
Mr Offer went through my procedure many times so I fully understood what was going to happen. My Offer shaped my nose to how I wanted and I am so happy with the end result. Thank you Mr Offer for making me feel better within myself and giving me more confidence
