Rhinoplasty is an operation that corrects the shape and size of the sides of the nose, the tip of the nose and the bridge of the nose. The operation can be performed by open and closed methods.
Why is rhinoplasty necessary?
The operation is associated with the correction of breathing, however, the main task of rhinoplasty is a beautiful nose, namely:
- Correction of a birth defect
- Nose bump removal
- Bridge straightening
- Change the shape of the tip of the nose
- Change the size of the nostrils
- Nose correction after injury
- Opening of the airways
- Enlargement or reduction in the size of the nose
- Correction of nose asymmetry
Rhinoplasty and septoplasty: what is the difference?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to change the shape of the nose. Since breathing and the shape of the nose are interrelated, rhinoplasty can sometimes be performed not only to change the appearance of the nose, but also to improve breathing.
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to improve breathing by straightening the wall inside the nose that separates the nasal passages into the right and left sides (nasal septum). When the septum is bent, it makes breathing difficult. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
Nose correction surgery can be open or closed. The type of operation is determined individually depending on the nasal defects of the patient.
The closed operation is performed through internal incisions.
Advantages:
- Leaves no visible scars
- Does not hurt the skin between the nostrils
- Allows you to perform complex work with the internal tissues of the nose.
It takes place in 6 steps:
- You are anesthetized.
- The incisions are made inside the nasal passages. The number and size of the incisions depends on what needs to be repaired.
- The doctor works with the structures of the nose to achieve the desired result.
- The doctor puts all the tissue back in place and sutures.
- The doctor fixes the nose with a plaster bandage.
- You are escorted to the recovery room after the operation.
An open operation is performed through an incision on the outside, at the narrowest point of the nose.
Advantages:
- All the cartilage is exposed, allowing the surgeon to freely correct high, wide or flat nasal dorsum, asymmetries, hollows and irregularities in the nose.
- The ability to remove, move parts of bone or cartilage, install nasal implants.
- Invisible scar.
It takes place in 6 steps:
- The operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia. For example, a nose tip correction can be performed under local anesthesia, while a complete rhinoplasty can be performed under general anesthesia.
- An incision is made between the nostrils (columella).
- The doctor examines the nose, cartilage and bone structure, then performs the required correction.
- The doctor applies a thin suture. Delicate sewing allows you to get an almost imperceptible scar.
- The doctor applies a cast.

Open or closed nose surgery usually takes between 15 minutes and 45 minutes.
