Rhinoplasty

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic or reconstructive surgery of the nose that changes the structure of the nose. Although some women consider that small noses enhance the beauty of the face, there are many women and men who are not bothered by the shape of their nose. However, the nose is the centre of our face and determines its harmony. A deformed nose has negative effects on breathing function and aesthetic perception. To achieve a beautiful appearance, rhinoplasty is considered one of the most treated solutions in plastic surgery.

Modern surgical techniques have greatly improved the comfort of rhinoplasty procedures.
New surgical techniques have been developed to achieve a better aesthetic or reconstructive appearance by modifying the structures of the bone and cartilage tissues inside and outside the nose.

Reason For Rhinoplasty?

New surgical techniques have been developed to achieve a better aesthetic or reconstructive appearance by modifying the structures of the bony and cartilaginous tissues inside and outside the nose. In addition to aesthetic goals, rhinoplasty is also performed to eliminate breathing difficulties. A closed or open rhinoplasty may be preferred, depending on the extent of the problems to be corrected. Surgeons prefer closed rhinoplasty because this method is less restrictive and leaves no visible scars. Therefore, this technique is more advantageous and allows a faster recovery time for the final result of the nose surgery.

The duration of this operation varies between 45 minutes and 2 hours depending on the surgical procedure. Depending on the procedure, the surgeon decides whether to use local or general anaesthesia. Full recovery from rhinoplasty usually takes 3 to 6 months.  For a good recovery, protect yourself from shaking, heavy movements, sports activities and refrain from smoking after the operation.

People who do not wish to have surgery choose a medical rhinoplasty procedure instead. This is a soft and aesthetic medical technique that allows for the immediate correction of minor defects of the nose by means of the “Nose Filler” method (hyaluronic acid injections).
