Rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty is a branch of plastic surgery that deals with the correction of various congenital or acquired deformities of the nose. Also, with the help of rhinoplasty in some cases it is possible to completely restore the missing nose or its individual parts. An experienced plastic rhinoplasty surgeon will be able to increase or, conversely, reduce the size of the nose, change the shape, and eliminate breathing problems. The rhinoplasty service is available to every patient of the clinic. Our experts use modern and safe methods to efficiently and quickly solve various imperfections, making facial features more harmonious and attractive.

Indications and contraindications for rhinoplasty
The rhinoplasty procedure will help restore the correct shapes and functions of the nose, which were disturbed during fetal development or as a result of various diseases, as well as injuries acquired during life: thermal, chemical, mechanical.
There are no strict medical indications for surgery. If the patient is dissatisfied with the shape of the nose or it does not function properly, you can voluntarily contact a plastic surgeon, explain the problem and the expert will choose the most effective way of correction, taking into account individual characteristics.
Rhinoplasty, the price of which is available to every patient in the clinic, allows you to remove various aesthetic and functional defects:
- saddle shape;
- pronounced hump;
- thickened or forked tip;
- enlarged nostrils;
- the "eagle's beak" effect;
- disproportionate to the dimensions of the face, shape;
- breathing problems;
- deviation of the nasal septum.
As for contraindications, it is worth noting that the procedure is not prescribed for pregnant and lactating women. There are also medical contraindications, in which plastic surgery is full of serious complications. This includes:
- diseases of the hematopoietic system (relative contraindication);
- chronic cardiovascular disease;
- oncological disease of any localization;
- kidney, liver, heart failure;
- recent heart attack, stroke;
- infectious processes in the acute phase;
- congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (relative contraindication);
- severe mental illness and disorders (relative contraindication);
- pregnancy, breastfeeding.
Types of operations
Rhinoplasty includes the following types of surgery:
- nasal septum plastic surgery - septoplasty;
- broken bone reposition;
- removal of the coat of arms;
- shortening of the nose;
- nasal bone convergence;
- peak support and correction;
- nose wing correction;
- complete nose correction.
Depending on the method chosen by the surgeon, both closed and open approaches can be used during rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through small incisions in the nasal cavity with separation of the skin from the frame. The following types of operations are performed through closed access:
- shape change;
- removal of excess nasal bone or cartilage;
- volume increase, etc.
If the scope of the surgical intervention is large, open-access rhinoplasty is used. Incisions are made on the columella, a vertical skin fold that separates the nostrils.
In addition to traditional surgical rhinoplasty, a non-surgical type of filler rhinoplasty has recently become very popular. This type of intervention is used to solve the following problems:
- correct minor nasal imperfections;
- achieve a rounded tip;
- restore symmetry, etc.
Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose
Plastic correction of the tip of the nose includes a series of surgical operations performed on the terminal part of the nose. Forms can be improved by removing deforming or excess parts of cartilage tissue, by fixing them in the correct position.
Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose is one of the most difficult types of plastic surgery that allows you to achieve the following results:
- narrowing or increasing the width of the tip of the nose;
- decrease or increase projection;
- restoring symmetry and the natural shape of the nose.
The variety of anatomical variants of the nasal tip requires the surgeon to develop an individual plan of surgical intervention for each individual patient. When choosing a methodology, various factors are taken into account:
- skin thickness;
- shape and strength of cartilage tissue;
- anatomy of vault corners;
- nose length and width;
- back contours;
- nasolabial angle;
- the results the patient expects.
Rhinoplasty
Nasal wing correction can be reported as an independent operation, or as one of the phases of a more extensive surgical intervention. Rhinoplasty allows you to change the width, thickness, symmetry of the nostrils, correct various congenital defects, eliminate difficult nasal breathing due to too narrow nostrils and nasal passages.
hump correction
Correction of the shape of the nose in order to correct the hump can be performed with surgery and without it - by injection. The choice of technique depends on the degree of deformity, as well as the patient's wishes.
The surgical option of rhinoplasty involves the removal of cartilage or bone tissue through an external or internal incision. After the operation, sutures are placed. Another surgical method of correction is grinding. The procedure allows you to straighten a small hump without cutting out bone structures.
The non-surgical technique of rhinoplasty involves the introduction of a special filler under the skin, which will fill the pits, eliminating a small defect in just one session. The effect of this procedure lasts 1-1, 5 years.
Nasal septum correction
This is a surgical correction of deformed cartilage structures or nasal bones. This type of rhinoplasty is indicated for patients who are concerned about breathing problems due to nasal septal deformities.
columella correction
Columella plastic surgery is an aesthetic operation whose goal is to correct the size and shape of the septum that separates the nostrils. Columella plays a major role in the aesthetic perception of the face as a whole, and any changes in its size and shape can negatively affect the appearance.
Columella plastic may be needed if it is deformed, too large or, conversely, small, if the nasolabial angle is smooth or pointed, etc. A columella is considered harmonious if it is below wing level.
Rhinoseptoplasty
If during rhinoplasty, surgeons mainly deal with the appearance of the nose and aesthetic aspects, then during septoplasty, they work mainly on what is inside and solve physiological problems. Combined rhinoseptoplasty (rhinoplasty + septoplasty) includes correction of the deviation of the nasal septum, correction of the shape and size of the nose. The technique allows you to restore normal nasal breathing, remove deformities, as well as nasal deviations. It can be done open, closed or endoscopically.
Preparation for rhinoplasty
In the initial phase of preparation, it is necessary to consult with a plastic surgeon, who will perform an examination, determine the reasons why the patient decided to have surgery, determine the type and scope of the intervention, and roughly say how much plastic costs the nose surgery. In order to achieve the best cosmetic results, photographs and computer simulations of the new nose are taken.
In the preparation phase, it is important to exclude contraindications. A comprehensive examination, including the following diagnostic procedures, is prescribed to assess the patient's general condition:
- electrocardiogram;
- fluorography;
- general and biochemical blood test;
- general urine analysis;
- tests for hepatitis, HIV, STIs;
- coagulogram;
- CT of the skull.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
You can do rhinoplasty and achieve the best results in the clinic. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in combination with local infiltration anesthesia. Depending on the complexity of the intervention, the duration of the operation is 1-2 hours, sometimes longer.
During the operation, a surgical correction of the bone and cartilage frame is performed in order to give the outer nose an aesthetically more favorable dimensions and shape:
- change in length;
- width, height correction;
- removal of the coat of arms;
- curvature correction and back retraction;
- rhinoplasty, etc.
For rhinoplasty, the clinic's plastic surgeons use modern, economical techniques, so that scars are practically invisible after the operation, and the risks of postoperative complications are reduced to zero.
Possible complications after surgery
The risks of complications after rhinoplasty are minimal, but, unfortunately, they are not completely ruled out. Possible negative consequences of the postoperative period:
- persistent edema that does not go away within six months;
- hematomas;
- joining infection;
- subcutaneous tissue hypertrophy within surgery or in the area of cartilage removal;
- odor disorders;
- nosebleeds;
- tissue necrosis.
Rehabilitation after rhinoplasty
After all surgical procedures, tampons are installed in the nasal passages, which can be removed only after 2-3 days. The new shape of the nose is fixed with plaster. When intervening on the cartilage of the nose, such a sticker should be worn for 5-7 days. When performing manipulations on the bone section, the pad is worn longer - 12 - 14 days.
The pain after the operation is moderate, and the doctor may prescribe an anesthetic to alleviate the condition. In the early days, due to severe swelling, breathing problems can be upsetting. It is not recommended to wear glasses 1. 5 months after rhinoplasty. Complete rehabilitation takes an average of 6-8 months, so the final results of the procedure can be assessed six months to a year after surgery.
Price of rhinoplasty
The price is determined by the complexity of the intervention, the technique performed and the type of anesthesia. To clarify how much it costs to straighten your nose, you need to get a more detailed consultation at an appointment with a specialist.
