Nose job before and after photos in Brisbane
Before and after photographs of rhinoplasty, or nose job surgery. These are photographs of my own patients, taken before surgery and at a stated interval afterwards. Every case shows the time elapsed since the operation on the photograph itself, because a nose at six weeks does not look like the same nose at a year.
The galleries are organised by procedure. Most cases are septorhinoplasty, where the nose is reshaped and the septum straightened in the same operation, and there are also primary rhinoplasty and revision cases where a previous operation performed elsewhere needed correcting.
All photographs are unretouched. Photographs are cropped and eyes are masked to protect patient privacy, with no colour correction, filters, retouching or other alteration. Before and after images are taken in the same views under the same conditions, and each pair is presented at equal size.
Results vary between patients and no surgical outcome can be guaranteed. All surgery carries risk, and the risks of rhinoplasty are set out in detail on our risks and side effects answers.
These photographs show selected cases and are not a guarantee of the result any individual patient will achieve. Whether surgery is likely to help you, and what is realistically achievable, is a decision made after examination rather than from a website. More about the procedure is on the rhinoplasty page.

Before you compare
What determines your own result
Looking at other people's photographs is useful, and it has limits. Three things decide how close your own result can come to what you see here.
- Your facial structure. The nose has to sit with the rest of your face, so the same operation on a different face gives a different result.
- Your skin thickness. Thick nasal skin hides fine detail. Thin skin shows more of what is underneath, including small irregularities.
- The complexity of the operation. A nose that needs reshaping and functional correction together, or that has been operated on before, is a longer and less predictable job than a straightforward reduction.
None of that is knowable from a photograph. It is what the consultation is for.
