What Can
Open Septorhinoplasty Treat?
Open septorhinoplasty is a combined functional and cosmetic procedure that can address a range of nasal concerns, including:
- Deviated septum affecting airflow or causing nasal blockage
- Nasal asymmetry or structural irregularities
- Collapsed nasal valves that contribute to breathing difficulties
- Dorsal humps, bumps or indentations on the nasal bridge
- Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
- Previous nasal trauma or unsatisfactory results from past surgery
This approach is especially suited to patients who require correction of both internal nasal structure and external nasal appearance in a single procedure.

What Are the Benefits of Septorhinoplasty?
Undergoing open septorhinoplasty can offer both functional and cosmetic benefits:
- Improved Breathing: By straightening the nasal septum and correcting internal obstructions, the procedure supports better airflow.
- Refined Nasal Shape: Adjustments to the bridge, tip or nostrils can bring balance and symmetry to facial features.
- One Surgery, Dual Outcome: Combines nose reshaping surgery with septum correction surgery for efficient, comprehensive results.
- Long-Term Results: Once healing is complete, results are typically stable for many years, improving both appearance and quality of life.
Combining function and form, open septorhinoplasty addresses both breathing difficulties and unwanted nasal shape changes.

What to Expect from Your Procedure at British Face Clinic
Consultation
Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation with Mr Supriya at one of our clinics. He’ll assess your breathing issues, nasal structure and aesthetic goals to determine if open septorhinoplasty is the most appropriate treatment for your needs. Advanced imaging may be used to support planning.
Surgical Procedure
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 2 to 3 hours. A small incision is made across the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils), giving your surgeon direct access to the internal structures. The deviated septum is straightened and any additional reshaping of the nasal bridge or tip is performed with precision. Cartilage taken from the septum is commonly used for further refinement and to provide support for structure and breathing.
Recovery
Initial swelling and bruising are common and typically reduce within one to two weeks. A splint is usually worn for 7 to 10 days to support the new shape. Most people resume desk-based activities within 10 to 14 days, with strenuous exercise avoided for 3 to 4 weeks. Final results can take several months to fully settle as internal healing progresses.
Results
Open septorhinoplasty aims to resolve both cosmetic and functional concerns in a single procedure. Once healed, you can expect improved nasal airflow and a natural-looking result tailored to your facial features.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty focuses on the external appearance of the nose. Septorhinoplasty addresses both cosmetic changes and internal issues like a deviated septum.
Is open septorhinoplasty more invasive than closed rhinoplasty?
Yes, it involves a small incision at the base of the nose for greater surgical access. This makes it especially useful for complex or revision cases.
How long is recovery after open septorhinoplasty?
Most swelling and bruising reduce within two to three weeks. Full results may take several months to settle as internal healing continues.
Can septorhinoplasty fix breathing problems and cosmetic issues at the same time?
Yes, the procedure is designed to improve nasal function and reshape the nose in one operation. It’s ideal for patients with both structural and aesthetic concerns.
Will I have scars after open septorhinoplasty?
The incision is made across the columella and typically heals to a fine, barely noticeable line. Over time, scarring tends to fade significantly.
Can open septorhinoplasty correct previous nasal surgery?
Yes, it can be used in revision cases where results from a previous procedure were unsatisfactory. The open approach allows better visibility for correcting complex issues.
Is septorhinoplasty covered by the NHS or insurance?
In some cases, septorhinoplasty may be partially covered if it’s deemed medically necessary. Cosmetic aspects are usually considered elective and not included in standard coverage.
