Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)

Rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty is a branch of plastic surgery that deals with the correction of various congenital or acquired deformities of the nose. Also, with the help of rhinoplasty, in some cases it is possible to completely restore the missing nose or its individual parts. An experienced plastic rhinoplasty surgeon will be able to increase or, conversely, reduce the size of the nose, change its shape and eliminate respiratory problems. The rhinoplasty service is available to every patient of the clinic. Our specialists use modern and safe methods to effectively and quickly eliminate various defects, making facial features more harmonious and attractive.

Indications and contraindications to rhinoplasty

The rhinoplasty procedure will help restore the correct shapes and functions of the nose, which were disturbed during fetal development or due to various diseases, as well as injuries suffered during life: thermal, chemical, mechanical.

There are no strict medical indications for surgery. If the patient is dissatisfied with the shape of the nose or does not work properly, you can voluntarily contact a plastic surgeon, explain the problem, and the specialist will select the most effective correction method, 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;
  • "eagle's beak" effect;
  • disproportionate to the size of the face, 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.

Types of operations

Rhinoplasty includes the following types of surgery:

  • plastic surgery of the nasal septum - septoplasty;
  • repositioning of a broken bone;
  • removal of the hump;
  • shortening of the nose;
  • convergence of the bones of the nose;
  • tip support and correction;
  • correction of the wings of the nose;
  • complete correction of the nose.
rhinoplasty

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 detachment of the skin from the structure. The following types of operations are carried out through closed access:

  • change of shape;
  • removal of excess nasal bone or cartilage;
  • volume increase, etc.

If the volume of surgery is large, then open access rhinoplasty is used. The incisions are made at the columella, the vertical skin fold that separates the nostrils.

In addition to traditional surgical rhinoplasty, a type of non-surgical filler rhinoplasty has recently become very popular. This type of intervention is used to solve the following problems:

  • correct small imperfections of the nose;
  • get a rounded tip;
  • restore symmetry, etc.

Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose

Plastic correction of the tip of the nose includes a series of surgical operations performed on the end section of the nose. It is possible to improve the shapes by removing the deforming or excess parts of cartilage tissue, fixing them in the correct position.

Tip of the nose rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult types of plastic surgery, allowing you to achieve the following results:

  • narrowing or increasing width of the tip of the nose;
  • reduction or increase in projection;
  • restoration of the symmetry and natural shape of the nose.

The variety of anatomical variants of the nasal cone requires the surgeon to develop an individual surgical plan 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;
  • contours of the back;
  • nasolabial angle;
  • the results expected by the patient.

Rhinoplasty

Correction of the wings of the nose can be done as an independent operation or as one of the stages of a larger surgery. 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 done both with and without surgery, by injection. The choice of technique depends on the degree of deformity and 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 removing the bone structures.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty technique involves the introduction of a special subcutaneous filler, which will fill the dimples, eliminating a small defect in a single session. The effect of this procedure lasts 1 - 1, 5 years.

Correction of the nasal septum

This is a surgical correction of the deformed cartilage or bony structures of the nose. This type of rhinoplasty is indicated for patients who, due to the deformity of the nasal septum, are worried about respiratory problems.

columella correction

A columella plastic is a cosmetic surgery aimed at correcting the size and shape of the septum that separates the nostrils. The columella plays an important role in the aesthetic perception of the face as a whole and any change in its size and shape can negatively affect the appearance.

A plastic columella may be needed if it is deformed, too large or, conversely, small, the nasolabial angle is smooth or pointed, etc. A columella is considered harmonious if it is below the level of the wings.

Rhinoseptoplasty

If during the rhinoplasty the surgeons mainly deal with the appearance of the nose and the aesthetic aspects, during the septoplasty they work mainly on what is inside and solve physiological problems. Combined rhinoplasty (rhinoplasty + septoplasty) includes correction of the deviated nasal septum, correction of the shape and size of the nose. The technique allows you to restore normal nasal breathing, eliminate deformities and deviation of the nose. It can be performed 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 undergo the operation, determine the type and extent of the intervention and tell approximately how much plastic a nose surgery costs. For best aesthetic results, photographs and computer simulations of the new nose are taken.

In 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, STI;
  • 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 surgery, the duration of the operation is 1 - 2 hours, sometimes more.

During the operation, a surgical correction of the bone and cartilage structure is performed in order to give the external nose a more aesthetically favorable size and shape:

  • change of length;
  • correction of width, height;
  • elimination of the hump;
  • correction of the curvature and retraction of the back;
  • rhinoplasty, etc.

For rhinoplasty, the clinic's plastic surgeons use modern and thrifty 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 entirely excluded. Possible negative consequences of the postoperative period:

  • persistent edema that does not go away within six months;
  • hematomas;
  • join infection;
  • hypertrophy of the subcutaneous tissue within the surgery or in the area of cartilage removal;
  • disturbances of smell;
  • epistaxis;
  • tissue necrosis.

Rehabilitation after rhinoplasty

After all surgical procedures, tampons are installed in the nasal passages, which can only be removed after 2-3 days. The new nose shape is fixed with a plaster cast. When intervening on the cartilage of the nose, such an adhesive must be worn for 5-7 days. When performing manipulations on the bone section, the pad is worn longer - 12 - 14 days.

Pain after surgery is moderate, to relieve the condition, the doctor may prescribe an anesthetic drug. In the first few days, due to the severe swelling, breathing problems can be annoying. 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 evaluated six months to a year after the operation.

Cost of rhinoplasty

The cost is determined by the complexity of the intervention, the execution technique and the type of anesthesia. To clarify how much it costs to correct the nose, you need to get more detailed advice on an appointment with a specialist.
