Nose procedures.
Nose surgery consultations at KPAS provide an opportunity to discuss concerns about nasal appearance, breathing or previous nasal surgery. The procedure being considered depends on the area of concern, individual circumstances and the findings of a clinical assessment.
At Kings Park Aesthetic Surgery, your consultation includes time to discuss your goals, the options that may be relevant and the care involved.
Nasal Surgery at KPAS
Nasal surgery may be considered for concerns involving nasal structure, previous surgery or breathing. Different procedures have different purposes, and assessment is needed to establish which issues are relevant.
A consultation includes discussion of the area causing concern, medical history and any previous nasal injury, treatment or surgery. The surgeon can explain the available options and their limitations.

Combined attention to nasal form and septal structure where clinically appropriate.
Explore procedureUnderstanding the Areas Being Assessed
Nasal structure
The shape and supporting structures of the nose are assessed together with the surrounding facial proportions. Photographs alone do not establish suitability for surgery.
Breathing concerns
Tell your surgeon about any difficulty breathing through the nose. Functional concerns require clinical assessment and should not be assumed to resolve with a change in appearance.
Previous nasal surgery
Previous operations and healing may influence the options considered. Bring details of earlier nasal surgery where available.
These areas provide a starting point for discussion, not a diagnosis or a recommendation for surgery. Individual assessment comes first.
Your Nasal Surgery Consultation
Individual Assessment Comes First
A consultation is the right place to discuss your concerns, available options and whether a procedure may be appropriate for you.
Physical assessment and discussion may consider:
- areas of concern and expectations
- nasal structure and facial relationships
- breathing symptoms and relevant history
- previous nasal surgery or injury
- general health and current medicines
- options, limitations and procedure-specific risks
Ask your surgeon about alternatives, recovery, expected scars and possible complications before deciding whether to proceed.

How to Choose Which Surgeon to Consult
Specialist Plastic Surgeon
Dr Guy Watts
Clinical interests: Face · Nose
Dr Guy Watts consults at KPAS for nasal surgery, including rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty. His clinical interests focus primarily on surgery of the face and nose.
He holds Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and has undertaken further fellowship training in craniofacial and aesthetic surgery.
Individual Nasal Surgery Planning
Rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty are not interchangeable. The choice of procedure depends on the structures requiring assessment and the findings of consultation.
Changes to nasal appearance and breathing can involve related but distinct considerations. Your surgeon will explain what the proposed operation is intended to address.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery after nasal surgery depends on the operation and individual healing. Ask about swelling, bruising, nasal care, any dressings or splints, and restrictions on exercise or activities involving possible contact with the nose.
Your treating team will explain the review schedule and when to seek advice. Do not use another patient’s recovery as a timetable for your own.

All surgery carries risks. The relevant risks depend on the operation, your health and the tissues being treated.
Ask about complications, limitations, alternatives and the possibility of further treatment. The consent discussion should address the particular procedure and your individual circumstances.

Which procedures are listed on this page?
Rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty are listed on this page. A consultation is required to discuss which, if any, may be appropriate.
Do I need to choose a procedure before consultation?
No. You can begin with an area of concern or questions. Assessment is needed to discuss which options, if any, may be appropriate.
What if I have had nasal surgery before?
Tell the surgeon about earlier operations, the reasons for them and any ongoing concerns. Revision surgery requires an individual assessment; a previous operation does not establish whether further surgery is appropriate.
How long will recovery take?
Recovery depends on the operation, its extent and individual healing. Ask about care at home, activity restrictions, work and the review schedule for the procedure being considered.
Who should I consult at KPAS?
Dr Guy Watts lists nose surgery among his clinical interests. His profile provides further information. Suitability for a particular operation is determined at consultation.
Can before-and-after photographs predict my result?
No. Case photographs illustrate individual outcomes and do not guarantee a similar result for another patient. Anatomy, the procedure and healing differ.
