At Symmetry Clinic, we provide specialist rhinoplasty in London for patients seeking cosmetic refinement, functional improvement or both. Led by renowned nasal and facial plastic surgeon Mr Santdeep Paun, each procedure is planned around your facial features, nasal structure and individual goals, with a focus on natural-looking results, healthy breathing and long-term balance.
What Is Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Rhinoplasty, often referred to as nose reshaping surgery or a “nose job”, is a specialist procedure used to change the shape, structure or function of the nose. It may be performed for cosmetic reasons, to improve breathing, to restore balance after injury, or to address concerns following previous nasal surgery.
At Symmetry Clinic in London, rhinoplasty is tailored to your facial features, nasal structure, goals and medical needs. The aim is never to create a one-size-fits-all result, but to refine the nose in a way that looks natural, balanced and in harmony with the rest of your face.
Rhinoplasty may involve reshaping the nasal bridge, refining the nasal tip, reducing the overall size of the nose, improving nostril shape, correcting asymmetry, or addressing internal nasal issues that affect breathing. For some patients, this may involve cosmetic rhinoplasty, while others may require functional rhinoplasty, septoplasty, or revision rhinoplasty.
Patient privacy is a top priority for us, so while we do not show before and after photographs on our website, you will be able to view real patient results during your consultation.
We perform:
• Primary cosmetic rhinoplasty
• Functional rhinoplasty to correct nasal obstruction
• Revision rhinoplasty for previous nose surgery
• Closed rhinoplasty and open rhinoplasty, depending on your anatomy and goals
• Nose reduction surgery
• Ethnic rhinoplasty
• Reconstructive surgery after trauma

What Can We Treat With Rhinoplasty
Various conditions can be corrected with a rhinoplasty surgery:
- Dorsal hump: A bump at the bridge of the nose
- Nasal width: A nose that is too wide or too narrow
- Asymmetry: A nose that is twisted or deviated
- Prominent nasal tip: A nasal tip that is round, bulbous, fatty, or disproportionate to the rest of the face
- Drooping nasal tip: The angle between the upper lip and lower nose that is less than 90 degrees
- Post-traumatic deformities: Shape aberrations after nasal injury
- Nasal airway problems: Internal valve collapse and septal deviation
Benefits of Rhinoplasty Surgery
The benefits of rhinoplasty depend on the individual concern being treated. For some patients, surgery may improve facial balance or refine the shape and proportions of the nose. For others, it may also address structural issues affecting breathing or nasal function.
- Improved facial harmony through better nose-to-face proportions
- Clearer breathing through correction of internal nasal structures
- Correction of bumps, asymmetry, or nasal tip issues
- Restoration of the nose after trauma or previous surgery
- Boosted comfort in everyday breathing, sleeping, or exercising
Every result is designed to look individual and natural—not “done”—and to reflect your features, not change your identity.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Rhinoplasty Procedure?
You may be suitable for rhinoplasty if you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, have concerns about breathing or nasal function, have experienced trauma, or are considering further surgery after a previous procedure. Suitability is assessed individually during consultation, taking into account your health, nasal structure, expectations and treatment goals.
- You are unhappy with the appearance of your nose
- You have sustained nasal trauma or injury
- You are considering revision surgery after an unsatisfactory previous rhinoplasty
- You are over 18 and in good general health

Rhinoplasty Surgery Costs in London
An initial consultation with Mr Paun is £275 and includes state-of-the-art 3D imaging to give you a realistic preview of your potential results.
The cost of rhinoplasty in London varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, whether treatment is cosmetic, functional or revision-based, and whether additional work such as septoplasty is required. Your final quote will reflect the surgical plan, hospital and anaesthetic fees, aftercare, and the level of correction needed.
For patients comparing rhinoplasty costs, it is important to look beyond price alone and consider the surgeon’s specialist experience, the consultation and surgical planning process, and the aftercare provided. At Symmetry Clinic, each rhinoplasty procedure is planned around your facial features, nasal structure, breathing function and individual treatment goals.
Following your consultation and assessment, we will provide a detailed, bespoke quote for your treatment. Payment plans are available via our admitting hospitals to help make treatment more accessible.
Our Process: From Consultation to Results
Consultation
Your first consultation with Mr Paun includes a detailed assessment of your nasal structure, breathing function and treatment goals, supported by 3D facial imaging where appropriate. He will discuss the changes you are considering, whether rhinoplasty is suitable for you, and the surgical options that may best address your concerns.
Procedure
Rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general anaesthetic at a London hospital. Mr Paun uses open or closed rhinoplasty techniques depending on your nasal anatomy, treatment goals and the changes required. The surgical plan is designed to address both appearance and function while preserving appropriate nasal support.
Recovery
You’ll return home the same or next day. Most patients take around 7–10 days off work. Swelling and bruising settle gradually, and we provide full aftercare support during this time. Results continue to refine for up to 12–18 months.
Results
Rhinoplasty results continue to develop as swelling settles and the nose heals. The aim is a natural-looking result that is balanced with your facial features while supporting nasal function where required. Follow-up appointments are used to monitor healing and recovery over time.
