Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)

Surgical nose reshaping and augmentation by Dr Ivor J. Lim, covering rhinoplasty for refinement of nasal cartilage and bone, and nose implant surgery for bridge augmentation.

Dr Ivor J. Lim offers rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) and nasal augmentation procedures tailored to both aesthetic and functional goals. Rhinoplasty at this clinic addresses a range of concerns: nasal tip refinement and deprojection, reduction of a dorsal hump, correction of nasal deviation, improvement of nostril symmetry, and overall facial harmony. Open or closed rhinoplasty technique is selected based on complexity and the degree of structural modification required. For patients seeking nasal bridge augmentation — a common concern among Asian patients — nasal implant surgery using silicone implants provides a reliable, long-lasting elevation of the bridge profile. Dr Lim's craniofacial surgery training, which forms part of the comprehensive plastic surgery curriculum in Singapore, gives him deep anatomical understanding of the nasal skeleton and soft tissue envelope. Revision rhinoplasty for patients dissatisfied with prior procedures is also within his scope of practice. Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and requires 1–2 weeks of social downtime, with final results visible after 6–12 months as residual swelling resolves. Implant rhinoplasty for bridge augmentation is typically a shorter procedure performed under sedation or general anaesthesia.
