Nose correction - rhinoplasty

Nose correction - rhinoplasty

  • Team of experienced surgeons with a good international reputation
  • State-of-the-art methods for both hard and soft nose treatment 
  • First-rate postoperative care

Are you bothered by a big or bumpy nose? Have you been thinking about having a "nose job" for a long time? The path to the nose of your dreams is easier than you think. Rhinoplasty can also improve breathing. Trauma in the nasal passages can affect breathing and interfere with voice modulation. Keep in mind, however, that plastic surgery of the nose is one of the most demanding procedures of aesthetic surgery and should therefore only be performed by a highly experienced expert.

HOW RHINOPLASTY IS PERFORMED

INDICATIONS

Those interested in surgery are most often bothered by shape deviations of the nose, which may be congenital or acquired as a result of an accident. In addition to aesthetics, rhinoplasty also addresses functional imperfections and can significantly improve quality of life.

 

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Rhinoplasty is not suitable for teenagers. It is performed only after the end of growth and puberty so that it does not interfere with the development and growth of the patient. It always depends on the extent of the procedure and the quality and type of nose skin.

COURSE OF THE OPERATION

Rhinoplasty usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. It is performed under a combination of general and local anaesthesia. Incisions are made inside the nasal openings so there is no scarring of the skin. The skin is released from the nasal bones and cartilage; hard and soft tissues are reduced and sculpted as necessary, and the nasal mucosa is sutured with absorbable material.

COURSE OF RECOVERY

After surgery, you will remain at the clinic until the second day. Your nose will be packed with gauze and an aluminium splint will be used for support. Proper care and regular massages can significantly influence the final shape of the nose.

Nose correction - rhinoplasty - FAQ

Why is rhinoplasty age-restricted?
From the perspective of healing, adequate soft tissue flexibility and elasticity allow us to perform a procedure of greater scope and reduce the risk of excessive scarring, which can negatively affect the final shape of the nose.
How does the recovery process after a nose surgery (rhinoplasty) work?
After the surgery, you will remain at the clinic till the second day. Your nose will be packed with tampons, and an aluminium splint will be applied. Proper care and regular massages can significantly influence the final shape of the nose.
How to behave after rhinoplasty?
After the surgery, it is necessary to have 1-2 weeks of rest at home. You must wear the splint continuously for 14 days after a hard nose surgery and 10 days after a soft nose surgery. During the first 3 - 5 days, apply regular cold compresses to prevent excessive swelling. After 4 - 5 days, you can start cleaning the nostrils with cotton swabs moistened with water. The stitches are absorbable, so there is no need to remove them. You can begin performing pressure massages 3-4 weeks after the surgery.
What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

The difference between open and closed rhinoplasty relates to the surgical technique used to access the structures of the nose.

Open rhinoplasty: In open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes an incision in the form of an inverted "V" on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. This incision allows the surgeon to fully expose the nasal structures and provides convenient access to the nasal bones and cartilages. This technique is often used for more complex surgeries where better visualization and manipulation of nasal structures are needed.

Closed rhinoplasty, involves making incisions inside the nostrils, so no external scars are visible. This technique may be suitable for less complex surgeries where there is no need to access all nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty generally has a shorter healing time and less swelling compared to the open technique but offers the surgeon less access and control over nasal structures.

The choice between open and closed rhinoplasty depends on several factors, including the complexity of the required modifications, the surgeon's experience and preference, and the specific goals of the patient.
