Nose job for Big Brother’s Amy Alexander

Some individuals have had a complex about their nose for as long as they can remember. Others may have been in a minor accident as a child breaking their nose in the process and not realising until their later years. Nose reshaping is one of the most impactful cosmetic procedures available.

Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as a nose job, has been around for several years and a number of celebrities have reportedly had the surgery including Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, and Ashton Kutcher. Big Brother 8 contestant, Amy Alexander is openly pleased with the results of her nose job: “I love it! My nose looks just like it used to look. Now when I go out I don’t shy away from the cameras and I feel a lot more confident!”

During surgery, whilst the client is under a general anaesthetic, an incision is made inside or around the nose to separate the soft tissues from underlying structures so that they can be repositioned or reshaped. In some cases, cartilage can be taken from another part of the body to help build a new profile. The surgery can refine the bridge of the nose, tip or overall profile; it can also relieve breathing difficulties caused by injury. After surgery, the client may need an overnight stay in hospital and possibly two weeks off work. Any activities that could injure the nose must be avoided for a few months.

As long as expectations are realistic, nose reshaping can be an extremely rewarding and lifechanging procedure, increasing self-confidence and giving clients a new zest for life. If you are considering the surgery, be sure to use a reputable provider to ensure the best service and aftercare. There are of course illegal surgeries out there, some of which have carried out surgery with terrible results. Be safe and research surgeries available in reputable UK clinics.

Rhinoplasty is performed under a general anaesthetic.

In some cases, cartilage can be taken from another part of the body to help build a new profile.

Standard rhinoplasty is when the incisions are made inside the nostrils so no scars are visible. The surgeon will need to cut through the bone so the nose will effectively be broken. Tip rhinoplasty, as the name states, is for people who are just wanting the lower part of the nose reshaped. A small incision will need to be made between the nostrils for this procedure. Septo rhinoplasty amends the shape of the septum, the tissue that separates the nostrils. This type of rhinoplasty is often used to correct breathing difficulties. Incisions for this procedure can be made inside the nostrils, the same as standard rhinoplasty. This means no scaring will be visible. Rhinplasty can last around 2 hours depending on the type of procedure you are having.
