Rhinoplasty is an operation that allows you to correct the shape and size of the sides of the nose, the tip of the nose and the bridge of the nose. The operation can be reported by open and closed methods.
Why is rhinoplasty necessary?
Surgery is associated with the correction of breathing, however, the main task of rhinoplasty is a beautiful nose, namely:
- Congenital defect correction
- Removing the hump in the nose
- Straightening the bridge
- Changing the shape of the tip of the nose
- Nostril resizing
- Nose correction after injury
- Opening the airways
- Increase or decrease the size of the nose
- Correction of nasal asymmetry
Rhinoplasty and septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty is an operation that changes the shape of the nose. Because breathing and nose shape are interrelated, rhinoplasty can sometimes be performed not only to change the appearance of the nose, but also to improve breathing.
Septoplasty is an operation to improve breathing by straightening the wall inside the nose that separates the nasal passages to the right and left (nasal septum). When the septum is curved, it makes breathing difficult. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
Nose correction surgery can be open or closed. The type of operation is determined individually depending on the patient's nasal defects.
Closed surgery is performed through internal incisions.
Pros:
- It leaves no visible scars
- It does not damage the skin between the nostrils
- It allows you to perform complex work with the internal tissues of the nose.
It is performed in 6 phases:
- You were given anesthesia.
- Incisions are made inside the nasal passages. The number and size of cuts depends on what needs to be fixed.
- The doctor works with the structures of the nose in order to achieve the desired result.
- The doctor puts all the tissues back in place and sews.
- The doctor fixes the nose with a plaster bandage.
- After the operation, you are escorted to the recovery room.
Open surgery is performed through an incision on the outside, at the narrowest point of the nose.
Pros:
- All cartilage is exposed, which allows the surgeon to freely correct a high, wide or flat nasal dose, asymmetries, depressions and unevenness of the nose.
- Possibility of removing, moving parts of bone or cartilage, implantation of nasal implants.
- Invisible scar.
It is performed in 6 phases:
- The operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia. For example, correction of the tip of the nose can be performed under local anesthesia, while complete rhinoplasty can be performed under general anesthesia.
- An incision is made between the columella.
- The doctor examines the nose, cartilage and bone structure, and then makes the necessary correction.

How to prepare for rhinoplasty?
- Sign up for a consultation.

- During the consultation, the plastic surgeon makes a computer simulation. This allows you to see the approximate result of rhinoplasty.
- Take the tests and come to the clinic on the scheduled day.
- Ibuprofen and aspirin should be avoided before and after surgery. These drugs slow down the clotting process and can cause bleeding.
