Soft Tissue Nose Correction

A more limited nose-reshaping procedure focused on the soft tissues and tip rather than a full reconstruction of the bony framework, suited to patients who need refinement rather than major change. At the Aleksandra clinic Dr Sidorowicz advises which approach fits each nose at consultation. The price reflects the narrower scope compared with full rhinoplasty, and the quote covers aftercare.

Soft-tissue nose correction is a less extensive alternative to full rhinoplasty, concentrating on the cartilage and soft tissues — most often the tip and the lower third of the nose — rather than reworking the entire bony and cartilaginous structure. It is appropriate when a patient wants a refinement, such as a better-defined or slightly reshaped tip, modest narrowing or correction of a minor irregularity, without the larger undertaking of a complete rhinoplasty. By limiting the work to the soft-tissue elements, the procedure is generally shorter and recovery is often a little quicker. At the Aleksandra clinic the surgeon assesses the nose carefully to judge whether a limited correction can achieve the desired result or whether full rhinoplasty would be needed, and is candid about which option is realistic. The procedure is performed through incisions inside the nostrils, and the cartilage is reshaped or repositioned as required. Some swelling and tenderness around the nose are expected in the days after surgery, settling over the following weeks, with the tip continuing to refine over a longer period. As with any nose procedure, planning is individual: Dr Sidorowicz reviews the patient's anatomy, skin and goals and explains the expected outcome before going ahead. It suits adults seeking a focused improvement to the shape or definition of the nose.
