Rhinoplasty in Cairns

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reshapes the nose and improves its appearance. Rhinoplasty can improve the symmetry of the face and change the overall appearance of the face. This may be particularly desirable if the person is self-conscious about the appearance of their nose.

When discussing Rhinoplasty with Dr Ling, it's important to discuss your expectations and you should always be mindful that the goal of any type of cosmetic surgery is improvement, not perfection.

Rhinoplasty usually takes between one and two hours and the patient may be under general or local anaesthetic depending on the circumstances and the type of surgery. Side effects are generally contained to swelling and bruising around the eyes and they quickly subside. Reduction in the swelling of the nose takes more time and in some cases numbness may be present for a number of months after the procedure. It takes a few months to see the final results of rhinoplasty surgery.

If you have been considering rhinoplasty surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr Ling. We can then determine together whether you are a good candidate for the surgery and discuss all possible outcomes with you.
