Rhinoplasty

(Nose Job)

Cost should never be a deciding factor with an elective surgery. Trust, experience and aftercare are absolutely key. River Medical is widely recognised as the industry leader in Ireland. We are also proud to say that we adhere to the strictest of ethical guidelines and believe that only highly trained medical staff should advise on cosmetic procedures - be it surgical or non-surgical.

You will meet with one of our Consultant Plastic Surgeons who will discuss everything with you including your expectations and desires, the procedure and the best type of procedure for you, the results as well as any possible eventualities.

You will need to take 5 to 10 days off after your surgery. If your job is physical you may require more time. Everyone recovers differently and the River Medical team will monitor you closely. You will have an element of discomfort after your surgery which typically lasts 1-10 days but this will be managed with the support of your Consultant Plastic Surgeon and River Medical Registered General Nurse. Pain is minimal with a Rhinoplasty, generally our patients complain of a “blocked nose” feeling due to some swelling but pain is generally not an area for concern. Generally you can return to all normal activities within 3-6 weeks. We encourage patients to get back to their normal life as soon as it feels comfortable for them. We feel that this really promotes and aids a speedy and successful recovery. Everyone recovers differently but you can rest assured that we will monitor you closely to ensure the swiftest, safest and most comfortable recovery.

Your Consultant will assess your suitability and recommend the best treatment for you at your free consultation. He/she will naturally discuss what changes will suit your face and talk about refining your nose for best results. It’s not a creating a new nose or drastically changing your appearance; it’s more about carefully refining your own individual features.

Preparation will begin with an initial consultation with your Consultant Plastic Surgeon, followed by a meeting with one of our Registered General Nurses. Each one will go through every aspect of the surgery in great detail. Prior to surgery you will return for a further comprehensive pre-operative assessment with your River Medical Nurse. Your Consultant will be available to you right up until your surgery should you wish to see him/her again.

Your surgery should ONLY be carried out in a Private General Hospital that is fully accredited. A hospital environment is the safest and only adequate place to deal with any potential eventualities.

You should always receive FREE and unlimited aftercare post surgery. 

There is no visible scarring with Rhinoplasty, in the vast majority of cases as the incision sites are inside the nose.

We are widely regarded as being the industry leader in Ireland, specialising in the most comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. At River Medical, we never compromise on the level of care and attention we give each and every one of our patients, every time, and we are committed to you from procedure right through to your 24/7, lifelong aftercare.

Before and after pictures on websites can be misleading as they may not be patients of the surgeon who will be carrying out your surgery. As every person has completely different expectations and different treatment requirements, it is a much more valuable tool for your Consultant to show pictures of not only surgeries that he/she has carried out but also show you results you will be likely to achieve.
