Rhinoplasty (nose job)

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

Indications and contraindications for rhinoplasty

The rhinoplasty procedure helps to restore the correct shapes and functions of the nose, disturbed during fetal development or as a result of various diseases, as well as injuries sustained throughout life: thermal, chemical, mechanical.

There is no strict medical indication for surgery. If the patient is dissatisfied with the shape of his nose or it does not work properly, you can voluntarily contact a plastic surgeon, describe the problem and the specialist, taking into account individual specifics, will choose the most effective method of correction.

Rhinoplasty, the cost of which is available to each patient in the clinic, allows you to get rid of various aesthetic and functional defects:

  • saddle shape;
  • pronounced hump;
  • thickened or forked tip;
  • dilated nostrils;
  • Effect of the "Eagle's Beak";
  • disproportionate to face dimensions, shape;
  • difficulty breathing;
  • deviated nasal septum.

Speaking of contraindications, it should be noted that the procedure is not mandatory 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, lactation.

types of operations

Rhinoplasty includes the following types of operations:

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

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

  • 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 fold of skin 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 series of surgical interventions performed on the end portion of the nose. It is possible to improve the shapes by removing deformed or excess parts of the cartilage tissue and fixing them in the right position.

Rhinoplasty of the tip of the nose is one of the most difficult types of plastic surgery, which can achieve the following results:

  • Narrowing or increasing the width of the tip of the nose;
  • reducing or increasing projection;
  • Restoring the symmetry and natural shape of the nose.

The variety of anatomical variants of the nose cone requires the surgeon to develop an individual surgical plan for each individual patient. Several factors are considered when choosing a methodology:

  • skin thickness;
  • shape and thickness 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 nasal wings can be performed as an independent operation or as one of the stages of a more comprehensive surgical intervention. Rhinoplasty allows you to change the width, thickness and symmetry of the nostrils, correct various birth defects and eliminate obstructed nasal breathing due to narrow nostrils and nasal passages.

hump correction

Correction of the shape of the nose to correct the hump can be carried out both with and without surgical intervention - by injection. The choice of technique depends on the degree of deformity and the patient's wishes.

The surgical option of rhinoplasty involves the removal of cartilage or bone tissue through an external or internal incision. Stitches are applied after the operation. Another surgical method of correction is grinding. The procedure allows you to correct a small hump without cutting out bone structures.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty technique involves inserting a special filler under the skin that fills the indentations and eliminates 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 in the nose. This type of rhinoplasty is indicated for patients who have breathing problems due to the deformity of the nasal septum.

Columella correction

A columellaplasty 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 change in its size and shape can spoil its appearance.

Columellaplasty may be required if it is deformed, oversized or, conversely, small, the nasolabial angle is smooth or acute, etc. A columella is considered harmonious if it is below the wing plane.

Rhinoseptoplasty

If rhinoplasty surgeons are mainly concerned with the appearance of the nose and aesthetic aspects, then with septoplasty they mainly work on the inside and solve physiological problems. Combined rhinoseptoplasty (rhinoplasty + septoplasty) includes correction of the curvature of the nasal septum, correction of the shape and size of the nose. This technique allows you to restore normal nasal breathing, eliminate deformities, as well as nasal deviations. Can be performed open, closed or endoscopically.

Preparation for rhinoplasty

At the initial stage of preparation, a consultation with a plastic surgeon is necessary, who will conduct an examination, determine the reasons for the patient's decision to undergo the operation, determine the type and scope of the procedure, and approximately say how much plastic surgery on the nose costs. Photos and computer simulations of the new nose are made to achieve the best cosmetic results.

At the preparatory 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 urinalysis;
  • testing for hepatitis, HIV, STIs;
  • coagulogram;
  • skull CT.

How is a rhinoplasty performed?

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

During the operation, surgical correction of the bone and cartilage framework is performed to give the outer nose more aesthetically favorable dimensions and shapes:

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

During rhinoplasty, the clinic's plastic surgeons use modern, gentle techniques, so scars are practically invisible after the operation and the risk of postoperative complications is reduced to zero.

Possible complications after the operation

The risks of complications after rhinoplasty are minimal, but unfortunately not completely eliminated. Possible negative consequences of the postoperative period:

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

Rehabilitation after rhinoplasty

After all surgical interventions, tampons are inserted into the nasal passages, which can only be removed after 2-3 days. The new nose shape is fixed with a plaster cast. Such a sticker should be worn for 5-7 days during interventions on the nasal cartilage. 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. In the first few days, breathing problems due to severe swelling can be bothersome. 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.

Rhinoplasty cost

The cost is determined by the complexity of the procedure, the technique used and the type of anesthesia. In order to clarify how much a rhinoplasty costs, you need to get more detailed advice at an appointment with a specialist.
