Facial Aesthetics

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to change the shape of the nose, bring it into greater harmony with the face and, where necessary, correct breathing problems. It can be carried out for both aesthetic and functional purposes.

Cast / splint
5–7 days
Final shape
6–12 months
What Is Rhinoplasty?

It can be performed for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to change the shape of the nose, bring it into greater harmony with the face and, where necessary, correct breathing problems. It can be carried out for both aesthetic and functional purposes.

What does it correct?

  • The nasal hump
  • Drooping or width of the nasal tip
  • Asymmetry of the nostrils
  • A crooked nose (may be accompanied by deviation)
  • Straightening or reshaping of the nasal dorsum
  • Breathing problems (deviated septum, etc.)

Surgical techniques

Open rhinoplasty

  • A small incision is made under the nose
  • The nasal structures are shaped with a clearer view
  • It is preferred particularly in difficult and revision cases

Closed rhinoplasty

  • All incisions are made inside the nose
  • There is no external scar
  • It is preferred in more limited deformities

What is done to the nose?

  • The bone and cartilage structure is reshaped
  • Excess tissue may be removed or repositioned
  • The nasal tip is supported and shaped
  • If necessary, the septum is corrected and the airway is opened

Recovery process

  • Discharge usually after 1 night of hospital observation
  • A nasal splint (cast/splint) is used for the first 5-7 days
  • Swelling and bruising may occur in the first 1-2 weeks
  • Return to social life is possible within 1 week
  • Most of the nose settles within 1-3 months
  • The final shape becomes clear within 6-12 months
Core Advantages

The measurable distinctions of rhinoplasty.

Bringing the nose into harmony with the face, correcting breathing problems in the same operation where necessary, and the absence of an external scar with the closed technique.

— 01

Harmony with the face

The aim is to change the shape of the nose so as to bring it into greater harmony with the face.

— 02

Airway patency

Breathing problems (deviated septum, etc.) can also be corrected; if necessary, the septum is corrected and the airway is opened.

— 03

No visible scar (closed technique)

In closed rhinoplasty all incisions are made inside the nose; there is no external scar. It is preferred in more limited deformities.

— 04

Settling of the result

Most of the nose settles within 1–3 months; the final shape becomes clear within 6–12 months.

Procedure Detail

What it corrects, how it is done.

Below are summarised the problems corrected by rhinoplasty, the open and closed techniques, and the procedures carried out on the nose.

i

Nasal hump

Dorsal height
ii

Drooping and width of the nasal tip

Tip cartilages
iii

Asymmetry of the nostrils

Symmetry
iv

Crooked nose (deviation)

Often together with the septum
v

Reshaping of the nasal dorsum

Straightening · profile
vi

Breathing problems

Deviated septum, etc.
O

Open rhinoplasty

Wide view · difficult & revision cases
A small incision is made under the nose. The nasal structures are shaped with a clearer view. It is preferred particularly in difficult and revision cases.
C

Closed rhinoplasty

Internal incisions · no visible scar
All incisions are made inside the nose; there is no external scar. It is preferred in more limited deformities.
