Rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty is a branch of plastic surgery that deals with the correction of various congenital or acquired nose deformities. Also, with the help of rhinoplasty, in some cases it is possible to completely restore the missing nose or its individual parts. An experienced rhinoplasty plastic 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 specialists use modern and safe methods to effectively and quickly get rid of various defects, making facial features more harmonious and attractive.

Indications and contraindications for rhinoplasty
The rhinoplasty procedure will help restore the correct forms and functions of the nose, which were disturbed during fetal development or as a result of various diseases, as well as injuries received during life: thermal, chemical, mechanical.
There are no strict medical indications for surgery. If the patient is dissatisfied with the shape of his nose or it does not function properly, you can voluntarily contact a plastic surgeon, explain the problem and the specialist will select the most effective method of correction, taking into account individual characteristics.
Rhinoplasty, the cost of which in the clinic is available to any patient, allows you to eliminate various aesthetic and functional defects:
- saddle shape;
- pronounced hump;
- thickened or forked tip;
- dilated nostrils;
- effect of "eagle's beak";
- disproportionate in relation to the face dimensions, shape;
- breathing problems;
- deviated 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 fraught with serious complications. These include:
- diseases of the hematopoietic system (relative contraindication);
- chronic cardiovascular diseases;
- oncological disease of any localization;
- renal, hepatic, heart failure;
- recent heart attack, stroke;
- infectious processes in the acute stage;
- congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (relative contraindication);
- severe mental illness and disorder (relative contraindication);
- pregnancy, breastfeeding.
Operation types
Rhinoplasty includes the following types of surgery:
- plastic surgery of the nasal septum - septoplasty;
- reposition of a broken bone;
- hump removal;
- shortening of the nose;
- convergence of the bones of the nose;
- tip support and correction;
- correction of the wings of the nose;
- complete nose correction.
Depending on the method chosen by the surgeon, both closed and open access can be used during rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through small incisions in the nasal cavity with skin detachment from the framework. Through closed access, the following types of operations are carried out:
- shape change;
- removal of excess nasal bone or cartilage;
- volume increase, etc.
If the volume of surgical intervention is large, rhinoplasty through open access is used. The incisions are made at the columella, the vertical skin fold that separates the nostrils.
In addition to traditional surgical rhinoplasty, a non-surgical type of rhinoplasty using fillers has recently become very popular. This type of intervention is used to solve the following problems:
- correct minor imperfections of the nose;
- achieve a rounded tip;
- restore symmetry, etc.
Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose
Plastic correction of the tip of the nose includes a number of surgical operations performed on the terminal section of the nose. It is possible to improve the forms by removing deforming or excess parts of cartilage tissue, fixing them in the correct position.
Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose is one of the most difficult types of plastic surgery, allowing to achieve the following results:
- narrowing or increasing the width of the tip of the nose;
- reduction or increase in projection;
- restoration of symmetry and natural shape of the nose.
The variety of anatomical variants of the nasal conic 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 the angles of the vaults;
- length and width of the nose;
- back contours;
- nasolabial angle;
- the results expected by the patient.
Rhinoplasty
Correction of the wings of the nose can be performed as an independent operation, or as one of the stages of a more extensive surgical intervention. Rhinoplasty allows you to change the width, thickness, symmetry of the nostrils, correct various birth defects, eliminate obstructed nasal breathing due to too narrow nostrils and nasal passages.
hump correction
Correction of the shape of the nose to correct the hump can be carried out both with surgical intervention and without it - by injection. The choice of technique depends on the degree of deformity, as well as the wishes of the patient.
The surgical option of rhinoplasty involves the removal of cartilage or bone tissue through an external or internal incision. After the operation, sutures are applied. Another surgical method of correction is grinding. The procedure allows you to correct a small hump without excising bone structures.
A non-surgical rhinoplasty technique 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.
Correction of the nasal septum
This is a surgical correction of deformed cartilage or bone structures of the nose. This type of rhinoplasty is indicated for patients who, due to the deformity of the nasal septum, are concerned about breathing problems.
columella correction
A columella plasty is an aesthetic surgery aimed at correcting the size and shape of the septum that separates the nostrils. Columella plays a large role in the aesthetic perception of the face as a whole, and any changes in its size and shape can adversely affect the appearance.
Plastic surgery of the columella may be required if it is deformed, too large or, conversely, small in size, smooth or pointed at the nasolabial angle, etc. The columella is considered harmonious if it is located below the level of the wings.
Rhinoseptoplasty
If during rhinoplasty surgeons are mainly concerned 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 deviated nasal septum, correction of the shape and size of the nose. The technique allows you to restore normal nasal breathing, eliminate deformities, as well as deviation of the nose. Can be done open, closed or endoscopically.
Preparation for rhinoplasty
At the initial stage of preparation, a consultation with a plastic surgeon is required, who will conduct an examination, find out the reasons why the patient decided to have the operation, determine the type and extent of the intervention, and roughly tell how much plastic surgery on the nose costs. In order to achieve the best cosmetic results, photographs and computer simulations of the new nose are taken.
At the preparation stage, it is important to exclude contraindications. To assess the general condition of the patient, a comprehensive examination is prescribed, including the following diagnostic procedures:
- electrocardiogram;
- fluorography;
- general and biochemical blood test;
- general urine analysis;
- tests for hepatitis, HIV, STIs;
- coagulogram;
- Skull CT.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
You can do rhinoplasty and get the best results in the clinic. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia combined with local infiltration anesthesia. Depending on the complexity of the intervention, the duration of the operation is 1 - 2 hours, sometimes more.
During the operation, a surgical correction of the bone and cartilage frame is performed in order to give the external nose more aesthetically favorable dimensions and shape:
- change in length;
- correction of width, height;
- elimination of the hump;
- correction of curvature and retraction of the back;
- rhinoplasty, etc.
For rhinoplasty, plastic surgeons of the clinic use modern, sparing techniques, so scars are practically not visible after surgery, and the risks of postoperative complications are reduced to zero.
Possible complications after surgery
The risks of complications after rhinoplasty are minimal, but, unfortunately, not completely excluded. Possible negative consequences of the postoperative period:
- persistent edema that does not go away within six months;
- hematomas;
- joining the infection;
- hypertrophy of the subcutaneous tissue within the surgical intervention or in the area of cartilage removal;
- smell 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 nose shape is fixed with a plaster cast. When intervening on the cartilage of the nose, such a sticker should be worn for 5-7 days. When carrying out manipulations on the bone section, the pad is worn longer - 12 - 14 days.
Pain after surgery is moderate, to alleviate the condition, the doctor may prescribe an anesthetic drug. In the early days, due to severe edema, breathing problems may be disturbing. It is not recommended to wear glasses for 1. 5 months after rhinoplasty. A full rehabilitation course lasts an average of 6-8 months, so the final results of the procedure can be assessed six months to a year after the operation.
Cost of rhinoplasty
The cost is determined by the complexity of the intervention, the technique of execution and the type of anesthesia. To clarify how much it costs to correct the nose, you need to get a more detailed consultation at an appointment with a specialist.
