Is nose reshaping right for you?

Undergoing a rhinoplasty (or nose job) is a big decision for most people, as it potentially involves a change to a key part of your overall appearance and character. It is something not to go into lightly and you should do as much research on the procedure as you can. There are lots of considerations, including what you would like to achieve (eg. nasal tip, dorsum, nasal base etc), how it will be done (eg. open, closed) and to what extent you would like to change your nose. This is where the majority of the time will be spent, in order to ensure as good preoperative planning as possible. A brief psychological review is also likely, and image manipulation can also be useful in some cases. Please click on the link for more information.

Nasal obstruction

Having a blocked nose can be very troublesome and debilitating. It affects how you feel, can make you mouth breathe and snore at night and can cause tiredness and headaches. There are many causes including colds, sinusitis and other infections, trauma, nasal polyps and other medical conditions. Thankfully there are many treatment options available, ranging from nasal sprays and drops, antiallergic therapies and surgery in some instances.

ClarifixTM Cryotherapy

ClarifixTM cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with a runny nose. It involves freezing the nerve endings at the back of the nose under local or general anaesthetic, with few if any side effects, and a good chance of improvement of your symptoms. It is important to be properly investigated to rule out or fully treat any allergies that you might have, and to manage any other coexistent conditions such as a deviated nasal septum. If you have been struggling with a very runny nose and have tried all other medical options available, it might be worth considering this.
