Rhinoplasty is an operation that allows you to adjust the shape and size of the edges of the nose, the tip of the nose and the bridge of the nose. The operation can be performed in open or closed methods.
Why do you need rhinoplasty?
The operation is associated with the correction of breathing, but the main task of rhinoplasty is a beautiful nose, ie:
- Correction of birth defects
- Removal of nasal flesh
- Correction of the bridge
- Changing the shape of the tip of the nose
- Changing the size of the nostrils
- Correction of the nose after injury
- Opening of the respiratory tract
- Increase or decrease in the size of the nose
- Correction of nasal asymmetry
Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: What is the Difference?
Rhinoplasty is a nose reshaping operation. Because breathing and the shape of the nose are interrelated, sometimes rhinoplasty can be done not only to change the appearance of the nose, but also to improve breathing.
Septoplasty is an operation performed to improve breathing by straightening the wall inside the nose that separates the nasal passages into right and left sides (nasal wall). When the septum is crooked, it makes it difficult to breathe. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.
How is rhinoplasty done?
Rhinoplasty can be open or closed. The type of operation is determined individually depending on the patient's nasal defects.
Closed operation is performed through internal incisions.
Pros:
- Does not leave visible scars
- Does not damage the skin between the nostrils
- Allows you to work complex with the internal tissues of the nose.
It is carried out in 6 stages:
- You are 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 to achieve the desired result.
- The doctor puts all the tissues in place and sews.
- The doctor fixes his nose with a plaster cast.
- After the operation, you are taken to the intensive care unit.
The open operation is performed by cutting from the narrowest part of the nose.
Pros:
- All cartilage is open, allowing the surgeon to freely correct high, wide, or straight nasal backs, asymmetries, curves, and nasal asymmetries.
- Ability to remove, move, and place nasal implants in bone or cartilage.
- Invisible scar.
It is carried out in 6 stages:
- The operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia. For example, nasal tip correction can be performed under local anesthesia, and complete rhinoplasty can be performed under general anesthesia.
- It is cut between the nostrils (columella).
- The doctor examines the nose, cartilage and bone structure, and then makes the necessary corrections.
- The doctor applies a thin suture. Fine stitching allows you to get an almost invisible wound.
- The doctor applies a cast.
- After the operation, you are taken to the intensive care unit.
Open or closed nose surgery usually lasts between 15 and 45 minutes.
During the consultation, the doctor will inform you about the possible complications after rhinoplasty.
After the operation, your doctor may advise you to avoid the following:
- running and other strenuous exercises
- swimming
- blow your nose
- excessive chewing
- pull the dress over his head
- wear glasses on the nose
- strong brushing of teeth
It is important to be careful when exposed to the sun (! ). Excessive sun exposure can permanently discolor the skin around the nose.

How to prepare for rhinoplasty?
- Sign up for a consultation.
- You meet with your surgeon and discuss the possibility of surgery, as well as the need for additional operations, such as changing the shape of the jaw.
- During the consultation, the plastic surgeon performs a computer simulation. This allows you to see the approximate result of rhinoplasty.
- You take tests and come to the clinic on the appointed day.
- Ibuprofen and aspirin should be avoided before and after surgery. These medications slow down the clotting process and can cause bleeding.
- We recommend quitting smoking during surgery and rehabilitation. Nicotine narrows your blood vessels, resulting in less oxygen and less blood entering your tissues. Quitting smoking will speed up the healing of your nose.
