A well-balanced face with a new look thanks to rhinoplasty
The shape, position and size of the nose have a significant impact on facial shape and appearance. As we age, the nose becomes more pronounced on the face, as the facial skin loses its firmness, sags and the fullness of the tissues diminishes. As a result, the overall appearance of the face can change, meaning that the nose becomes more prominent. The shape of the nose and its deformities can only be corrected permanently by plastic surgery.
Rhinoplasty is typically done for aesthetic reasons, but it can also be done for medical reasons as well. We recommend a consultation if you:
- find your nose too big or too small,
- find it strangely narrow or wide,
- want a more symmetrical, straighter nose,
- want a nose that is more proportionate to your face,
- have a nose that is deformed due to an accident or a broken nose,
- have a deviated septum that causes breathing difficulties.
The only everlasting solution
After plastic surgery on your nose, your face will look more in harmony, which will boost your self-image and self-confidence. You will look back in the mirror with a face that you feel completely at peace with.
Essentially, rhinoplasty is the only permanent solution to treat nasal deformities. This will bring a long lasting and effective solution to the problem and also a change to your life, as the effects of the surgery will be visible on your face for the rest of your life. However, the procedure will be almost invisible: there will be no remaining scars from your rhinoplasty.
The two types of rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty specialists currently use two types of technique, determined by the severity of the problem and the extent of the reshaping. However, in most cases, the nasal tip is remodeled and the cartilage and nasal bones are reshaped.
Closed rhinoplasty (endonasal rhinoplasty)
Incisions are made only within the nostrils to correct the nasal bone and cartilage during surgery. With this technique, there will be no scar at all visible on the outside. This technique is mostly used when the patient wants minor changes and the reshaping of the nasal tip.
Open rhinoplasty (external rhinoplasty)
A small incision is made in the columella, which is the soft tissue that separates the nostrils, so that the plastic surgeon can more easily access the bone and cartilage in the nose. This method gives a wider range of movement and a better view, as well as access to a larger area of the nose, so it is often used for more drastic corrections.
Procedure
The very first step in the surgical process is a consultation with a specialist, during which our plastic surgeon will create a personalized treatment plan and a digital facial design based on your needs so you can see exactly what you can expect after your rhinoplasty. Afterwards, we'll go over the procedure details and the aftercare protocol. Before the operation you will have a full check-up: we will do a laboratory test, ECG and ultrasound scan to determine any potential concerns that may affect the procedure.
On the day of the surgery, we will prepare and disinfect the area. Nose surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, however, depending on the plastic surgeon's opinion, the procedure may be performed under local anesthesia only if the extent of the procedure is not major.
The 1-1.5 hour procedure begins with shaping the nose, where the bones and cartilages are fractured and removed if necessary. If the nose needs to be rebuilt, a cartilage graft is also performed. Cartilage is taken from the middle part of the nose, the ears or perhaps the ribs. We then reattach the skin and close the wound with absorbable sutures according to the type of surgery.
At the end of the operation, a nasal tampon is placed in the nostrils for 1-2 days to prevent bleeding. We also use a cast to secure the nose. You will spend 1 day in the clinic after the treatment and will be discharged the next day with an accompanying adult.
