Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, medically known as a rhinoplasty, is a procedure that surgically reshapes and/or improves the function of the nose. It can be performed for both aesthetic concerns and functional issues, such as breathing difficulties. Rhinoplasty allows the nose to harmonize with the face, improving both the patient’s appearance and quality of life.

🔍 Why Rhinoplasty Is Performed

  • Nose is large or has a hump

  • Tip of the nose is low, wide, or asymmetrical

  • Breathing difficulties due to nasal deviation

  • Deformities after nasal trauma

  • Dissatisfaction from previous rhinoplasty surgeries

✨ Aesthetic and Functional Goals Together
Rhinoplasty is not just an aesthetic procedure. It can also correct:

  • Septum deviation (internal nasal curvature)

  • Turbinate enlargement and other structural breathing issues
    This ensures the patient gains an ideal nose both in shape and function.

🔧 Surgical Techniques

  1. Open Rhinoplasty
    A small incision is made under the nose to fully visualize the structures. Preferred for complex cases and revision surgeries.

  2. Closed Rhinoplasty
    Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. Suitable for milder deformities.

The surgeon will choose the technique best suited to your nasal structure and goals.

💡 Preoperative Evaluation
Rhinoplasty is customized for each patient. Before surgery:

  • Facial and nasal structure is analyzed

  • Simulations are used to evaluate expectations

  • Health status and previous surgical history are considered

The goal is natural, face-harmonized, and subtle results.

⏱️ Surgery Details

  • Duration: Approximately 1–2.5 hours

  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia

  • Hospital Stay: Usually 1 night

  • Full Recovery: Nasal shape settles in 6–12 months

  • First Social Return: 7–10 days

🩺 Postoperative Care and Recovery

  • Swelling and bruising may occur in the first days, especially around the eyes

  • Nasal splint is removed within 5–7 days

  • Full shape may take several months

  • Avoid heavy exercise for the first month
