Rhinoplasty (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty is a branch of plastic surgery that deals with the correction of various congenital or acquired deformities of the nose. In addition, rhinoplasty can, in some cases, completely restore a missing nose or parts of it. An experienced plastic rhinoplasty surgeon will be able to increase or, conversely, reduce the size of the nose, change its shape and eliminate breathing problems. The rhinoplasty service is available to all patients at the clinic. Our specialists use modern and safe methods to get rid of various errors efficiently and quickly, making facial features more harmonious and attractive.

Indications and contraindications for rhinoplasty

The rhinoplasty procedure helps to restore the proper shapes and functions of the nose, which have been disrupted during fetal development or due to various diseases and lifelong injuries: thermal, chemical, mechanical injuries.

There are no strict medical indications for surgery. If the patient is dissatisfied with the shape of their nose or is not functioning properly, they can voluntarily consult a plastic surgeon, explain the problem, and the specialist will select the most effective method of correction based on individual characteristics.

Rhinoplasty, the cost of which is available to all patients at the clinic, makes it possible to eliminate various aesthetic and functional defects:

  • saddle shape;
  • express hump;
  • thickened or forked tip;
  • dilated nostrils;
  • the effect of an "eagle beak";
  • disproportionate to the size and shape of the face;
  • breathing problems;
  • deviated nasal septum.

As for contraindications, it is worth noting that the procedure is not prescribed to pregnant and lactating women. There are also medical contraindications in which plastic surgery has serious complications. These include:

  • diseases of the hematopoietic system (relative contraindication);
  • chronic cardiovascular disease;
  • any localized oncological disease;
  • 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, lactation.

Types of operations

Rhinoplasty involves the following types of surgeries:

  • nasal septal plastic surgery - septoplasty;
  • relocation of broken bone;
  • hump removal;
  • shortening of the nose;
  • convergence of nasal bones;
  • mountain support and correction;
  • correction of the wings of the nose;
  • complete nasal correction.
rhinoplasty

Depending on the method chosen by the surgeon, both closed and open access may be used during rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty is performed through small incisions in the nasal cavity, with the skin detached from the frame. The following types of operations can be performed through closed access:

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

If the volume of the surgery 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, non-surgical rhinoplasty using a filler has recently become very popular. This type of intervention addresses the following issues:

  • corrects minor imperfections in the nose;
  • reaching a rounded mountain;
  • restoration of symmetry, etc.

Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose

Plastic correction of the nasal tip involves a number of surgical procedures performed at the terminal section of the nose. The molds can be repaired by removing the deforming or excess parts of the cartilage tissue and fixing it in place.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult types of plastic surgery to achieve the following results:

  • narrowing or increasing the width of the tip of the nose;
  • decrease or increase the projection;
  • restoring the symmetry and natural shape of the nose.

The diversity of anatomical variations in the nasal cone requires the surgeon to develop an individual surgical intervention plan for each patient. There are several factors to consider when choosing a method:

  • skin thickness;
  • cartilage shape and strength;
  • anatomy of the angles of the vaults;
  • the length and width of the nose;
  • back contours;
  • nasolabial angle;
  • the results expected by the patient.

Rhinoplasty

Correction of the nasal wings can be performed as a stand-alone surgery or as part of a more extensive surgical intervention. Rhinoplasty makes it possible to change the width, thickness and symmetry of the nostrils, to correct various birth defects, and to remove obstructed nasal breathing due to too narrow nostrils and passages.

hump correction

Correction of the shape of the nose to correct the hump can be done with or without surgery. 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 by external or internal incision. Sutures are applied after surgery. Another surgical method of correction is grinding. The procedure allows a small bulge to be corrected without cutting out the bone structures.

The non-surgical rhinoplasty technique involves inserting a special filler under the skin that fills the pits and eliminates the small defect in a single treatment. 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 bone structure of the nose. This type of rhinoplasty is recommended for patients who are concerned about breathing problems due to deformity of the nasal septum.

columella correction

Columella plastic surgery is an aesthetic surgery designed to correct the size and shape of the septum separating the nostrils. Columella plays a major role in the aesthetic perception of the face as a whole, and any change in size and shape can adversely affect the appearance.

Columella plastic surgery may be needed if it is deformed, too large or on the contrary small, the nasolabial angle is smooth or pointed, and so on. A columella is considered harmonious if it is located below the level of the wings.

Rhinoseptoplasty

While surgeons focus on the appearance and aesthetics of the nose during rhinoplasty, they work primarily on the inside and solve physiological problems during septoplasty. Combined rhinoplasty (rhinoplasty + septoplasty) involves correction of the deviation of the nasal septum, correction of the shape and size of the nose. The technique makes it possible to restore normal nasal breathing, eliminate deformities, and deviate from the nose. It can be performed open, closed or endoscopically.

Preparing for rhinoplasty

In the initial stages of preparation, a consultation with a plastic surgeon is needed, who will perform the examination, find out why the patient has opted for surgery, determine the type and extent of the procedure, and roughly tell you how much the plastic surgery will cost. For best cosmetic results, photos and computer simulations are taken of the new nose.

Contraindications should be ruled out during the preparation phase. In order to assess the general condition of the patient, a comprehensive examination is prescribed, which includes the following diagnostic procedures:

  • electrocardiogram;
  • fluorography;
  • general and biochemical blood tests;
  • general urine analysis;
  • testing for hepatitis, HIV, STIs;
  • coagulogram;
  • Skull CT.

How is a rhinoplasty done?

You can have a rhinoplasty and get the best results at the clinic. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in combination with local infiltration anesthesia. The duration of the intervention is 1-2 hours, sometimes more, depending on the complexity of the intervention.

During the operation, the bone and cartilage skeleton are surgically corrected to give the outer nose an aesthetically pleasing size and shape:

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

For rhinoplasty, clinic plastic surgeons use state-of-the-art, gentle techniques so that scars are virtually invisible after surgery and the risk of postoperative complications is reduced to zero.

Possible complications after surgery

The risk of complications after rhinoplasty is minimal, but unfortunately not completely ruled out. Possible negative consequences of the postoperative period:

  • persistent edema that does not resolve within six months;
  • hematomas;
  • joining the infection;
  • subcutaneous tissue hypertrophy during surgery or cartilage removal;
  • odor disorders;
  • nose bleeding;
  • tissue necrosis.

Rehabilitation after rhinoplasty

After each surgery, tampons are inserted into the nasal passages, which can only be removed after 2-3 days. The new nose shape is fixed with plaster. When intervening in the nasal cartilage, such a sticker should be worn for 5-7 days. During manipulations on the bone part, the insert is worn for a longer period of time - 12-14 days.

Postoperative pain is moderate and your doctor may prescribe anesthetic to relieve the condition. In the early days, severe swelling can cause breathing problems. Wearing glasses is not recommended for 1. 5 months after rhinoplasty. A complete rehabilitation course lasts an average of 6-8 months, so the outcome of the procedure can be assessed six months to a year after surgery.

The cost of rhinoplasty

The cost is determined by the complexity of the procedure, the technique of execution, and the type of anesthesia. To find out how much it will cost to correct your nose, you should consult a specialist in more detail.
