What is Rhinoplasty?
Dr. Julian De Silva, is a renowned and accomplished facial plastic surgeon, has dedicated his career to the art and science of enhancing facial aesthetics. Among his expertise lies a profound understanding of rhinoplasty, a transformative surgical procedure that focuses on reshaping and refining the nose. Dr. De Silva’s commitment to precision and innovation in facial surgery has positioned him as a leading authority in the field.
Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “nose job,” goes beyond mere cosmetic alterations; it involves a delicate balance of artistic vision and surgical skill to achieve harmonious facial proportions. In this intricate procedure, Dr. Julian De Silva employs advanced techniques to address both aesthetic concerns and functional aspects of the nose, ensuring that patients not only achieve their desired look but also experience improved breathing and overall facial balance.
As we delve into the realm of rhinoplasty through Dr. De Silva’s expertise, we embark on a journey that explores the intricacies of this transformative surgery, shedding light on its nuances, benefits, and the transformative impact it can have on an individual’s facial harmony and self-confidence.
As the nose forms the very centre of your face it is also key to facial harmony and balance. Having a nose that is out of place catches our attention when we look at ourselves and people’s faces. This can result in patients feeling self-conscious and over time can affect how we feel about ourselves.
Our thoughts about our own appearance can have an important influence on all aspects of our lives. Dr De Silva has helped many thousands of patients by improving their facial balance.
After surgery, your nose can blend with the rest of your face, reducing those feelings of being self-conscious and enabling you to just get on with life. The detail around the nose is of great importance, as subtle changes of even less than half a millimetre can be discernible.

Nose Reshaping Technique And Procedure
Tip Definition:
A sculpted and lifted tip of the nose can be achieved by internal stitches, sculpting of cartilages and cartilage grafts.
Cartilage Support Grafts:
In the past, cartilage reshaping could be imprecise, leading to misshapen results. Now, by using pieces of your own cartilage to assess and correct internal contour irregularities,
Dr De Silva can create more symmetrical results.
Breathing:
Although many patients are focused on the appearance of the nose, rhinoplasty often makes your nose smaller, breathing is important! Often a combination of straightening your septum (cartilage in the middle of nose) and graft material is required to ensure good breathing.
An Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty:
Your surgeon can now cut through bone with extreme precision. This advanced osteotomy technique is highly successful.
It prevents damage to the surrounding blood vessels and tissue while cutting bone, and it may lead to less swelling and bruising. Not necessary for all patients.
Cartilage Suturing:
Previously, lower nose cartilage was trimmed to correct bulbous features. Now, we know that the nose must be properly approached with a combination of trimming and specialised suturing. This dual technique creates better proportions and a more uniform appearance.
Faster healing:
Healing can be enhanced with the use of anti-inflammatory medicine after surgery, this can be particularly important for revision rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty and patients with thicker skin.

Dr De Silva has the most calming disposition, both in his manner and his speaking voice and he immediately made me feel at ease, answering my questions and explaining the procedure clearly. The day of my surgery arrived and again I really felt confident that I was in very good hands!”
