The service and care I received throughout the entire rhinoplasty process, from initial consultation through to post-op aftercare, has been of the absolute highest standard. The results of my surgery with Mr Supriya have already exceeded what I could've thought possible, and I feel incredibly fortunate and happy that I chose to have my procedure undertaken with the British Face Clinic. Holly has been wonderful throughout, providing constant support and making the process comfortable and easy. At every stage, I feel that all elements of the procedure and recovery were fully explained. The day of the surgery was as smooth and comfortable as possible, and both Mr Supriya and the nurses at Athena Medical Centre provided excellent care. I am so grateful for the British Face Clinic and Mr Supriya's impeccable work, and cannot recommend this clinic enough.

It's been just over a year since I had my rhinoplasty operation by Mr Supriya and I'm still over the moon with my new nose. My experience from start to finish was great! It was clear upon first meeting Mr Supriya that he was very knowledgeable. He not only understood what I was looking to change but also gave advice on what was achievable and what would look best for me. He was always kind and caring and I never felt rushed or pressured. I was always informed of what was going to happen and assured to ask any questions that I may have. I really cannot thank Mr Supriya enough for his amazing work.

Mr Supriya listened to what I wanted but also made it clear what was possible. I really understood the process and what the end result would be.

I am very pleased with the result of my surgery. It's been 4 months now from my rhinoplasty. I will say I have done my research and I have decided to go with Dr. Mrinal Supriya. I have found the doctor very easy going, confident and acquainted. Assured me if anything or any questions I should contact him. I can say the next day after the surgery I had a bit of black eye but that is normal after having this kind of surgery, but like me knowing that I have some allergies I contacted Dr. Supriya and he saw me straight away, one of the qualities of a good and caring doctor. Had been told to take arnica tablets and in the next 7 to 14 days the black eye and the swelling were gone. My breathing improved so much and the shape of the nose is just right for my face. Thank you! You have changed this part of me that I felt ashamed of.
-
A fantastic experience from start to finish. From helping me understand the medical issues around my breathing to the cosmetic adjustments I opted in to, Mr Supriya was great.
-
I found Mr Supriya and his manager Holly incredibly accommodating. I have been back several times with questions and tweaks. Never once by either Mr Supriya or Holly did I feel I was being an inconvenience. Both very professional and very quick to respond. Along with the above the results were superb. I'm really happy with the outcome. Everything turned out how Mr Supriya explained it would pre op.
-
Mr Supriya was clear and concise when explaining what he planned to do to make my nose more symmetrical. He was extremely professional with his approach both pre and post my surgery and, before going through with it, wanted to be absolutely sure I felt I was making the right decision.
-
Dr Supriya is a fantastic doctor! He is kind and super easy to talk to. He listened well to all my concerns and problems. He explained my condition and the procedure I needed very clearly to me. He put me at ease during my septoplasty surgery and I recovered from my surgery very quickly with no complications or infections. Would recommend him to everyone I know. It was a pleasure!
-
Mr Supriya is very professional, always happy to answer any questions I had. His team are excellent with communication. I would highly recommend. I am so happy with the outcome from my procedure.

Wonderful surgeon, listened to what I wanted to achieve and the results were fantastic. Kind, caring team that guided me through the whole process. Highly recommend.

Appearance and breathing, treated together
For everyone who has spent years avoiding their own profile
Perhaps it is the hump you notice in every side-on photo, a tip that drops when you smile, or a nose that never quite lets you breathe freely. These things are rarely small to the person living with them.
Mr Supriya is an ENT surgeon first, so he looks at how your nose works as closely as how it looks. Every plan is built around your features and your airway, with the aim of a nose that sits in quiet harmony with your face and lets you breathe easily again.
Patient stories
Two women, two noses, one honest conversation
Anne-Marie and Cat both had an open septorhinoplasty with hump removal. Here they talk through the decision, the recovery and how it feels now.
"Like 10 out of 10, I can't recommend it enough."
Cat: "I did feel really at ease"

Is it right for you?
You may be a good candidate if
- You would like to change how your nose looks
- An injury or infection has altered its shape
- Breathing through your nose feels blocked
- Age has changed your nose, for example a tip that now droops
- You had a cleft lip repaired as a child and, now over 18, would like the nose corrected
Types of rhinoplasty we offer
One nose, several ways in
The right technique depends on what you want to change and how your nose is built inside. Mr Supriya will recommend the approach that suits you.
Closed rhinoplasty
All the work is done from inside the nose, so there is no external scar. Ideal for removing a hump on the bridge and making other subtle refinements.
- Best for
- A dorsal hump and smaller adjustments to shape
- Scar
- None visible, all incisions sit inside the nose
Open rhinoplasty
A tiny incision across the skin between the nostrils gives full access to the nasal framework, allowing bigger changes to shape, size, projection and the tip.
- Best for
- Significant reshaping, tip work and projection changes
- Scar
- A small line between the nostrils, barely visible once healed
Alar base reduction
Narrows and reshapes the nostrils through an incision in the natural crease where the nostril meets the face. Often combined with other rhinoplasty techniques.
- Best for
- Wide or flared nostrils
- Scar
- Hidden in the natural crease beside each nostril
Open septorhinoplasty
Corrects a deviated septum and reshapes the nose in the same operation. It is the procedure most of our patients have, because a bent septum often restricts breathing as well as affecting how the nose looks.
- Best for
- Blocked breathing alongside cosmetic concerns
- Scar
- A small line between the nostrils, barely visible once healed
Rhinoplasty grafts
Spreader and batten grafts use cartilage, usually from your own septum, to support the vital areas of the nose and keep the airway open. Mr Supriya will explain at your consultation whether you would benefit.
- Best for
- Weak or narrowed areas that restrict airflow
- Scar
- Depends on the approach used alongside it
Preservation rhinoplasty
A specialist technique that keeps your natural bone, cartilage and supporting framework intact while still reshaping the nose. Mr Supriya is one of the surgeons trained to offer it.
- Best for
- First-time rhinoplasty where keeping natural structure matters
- Scar
- Depends on the approach, often none visible
Preservation rhinoplasty
Change the shape, keep the architecture
If this is your first nose surgery, preservation rhinoplasty is worth knowing about. Rather than removing and rebuilding the nasal framework, it reshapes it while leaving key support structures undisturbed.
A refined, natural look
Keeping critical structures in place protects the nose and can support better breathing over the long term.
A gentler recovery
Incisions sit on different planes, helping to protect the lymphatics and blood vessels that drive healing. That can mean less bruising and swelling, and many people are back to normal routines within a week.
What we treat
The concerns patients bring to us most
Dorsal hump
A bump on the bridge that is most noticeable from the side.
Nasal width
A nose that feels too wide, or occasionally too narrow, for the face.
Asymmetry
A nose that is twisted, crooked or leans to one side.
Prominent tip
A tip that is rounded, bulbous or out of proportion with the rest of the face.
Drooping tip
When the angle between the upper lip and the nose is less than 90 degrees, often more visible when smiling.
After an injury
Changes in shape following a break or knock to the nose, even years later.
Airway problems
Internal valve collapse and a deviated septum that make breathing through the nose hard work.

Frequently asked questions
The questions everyone asks
Something we have not covered? Call us on 07590 817036.
Is rhinoplasty painful?
You will be asleep under general anaesthetic during the operation. Afterwards most people feel mild to moderate discomfort rather than sharp pain, and you will go home with painkillers to keep you comfortable.
How long does the operation take?
Usually between one and three hours, depending on how much needs to be done. Rhinoplasty is a complex procedure, which is why choosing your surgeon carefully matters.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Rhinoplasty permanently changes the structure of your nose, and it cannot be returned to how it was before. That is why we take time to make sure you are confident in your decision.
How long is the recovery?
Most people take 7 to 14 days to get back on their feet. Swelling settles gradually over several months and up to a year, depending on your own healing and the complexity of the surgery.
Will I need to stay in hospital?
Most rhinoplasties are day case procedures, so you go home the same day. If your operation is later in the day you may stay overnight. You will not be able to drive, and someone should stay with you for 24 hours after a general anaesthetic.
Will I have a cast, splints or packing?
At the end of surgery we place small adhesive strips over your nose with a cast on top, which stays on for 7 to 12 days. Mr Supriya does not usually use packing in the nostrils.
Will I have stitches to remove?
We use self-dissolving stitches which do not need to be removed.
When can I wear glasses again?
Please avoid glasses for four weeks after your cast is removed. Contact lenses are a good alternative during this time.
How is rhinoplasty different from septoplasty?
Septoplasty straightens the septum inside the nose to improve breathing without changing how it looks. Rhinoplasty changes the appearance of the nose. A septorhinoplasty does both at once.
Who is not suitable for rhinoplasty?
We only treat patients aged 18 and over. By then the facial bones are close to fully developed and will change little afterwards. You also need to be physically fit for a general anaesthetic and mentally fit to understand the surgery and its potential complications, with realistic expectations.
Will my insurance pay for it?
Speak to your private medical insurer, as some functional work may be covered. Most patients having cosmetic surgery pay for it themselves.
Can I sunbathe or use a sauna afterwards?
Keep sun exposure to a minimum for the first year, especially around midday, and use sunscreen and a hat. Avoid saunas and steam rooms for about three months to help the swelling go down.
