Harmony, naturalness and better breathing - all in one procedure
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular and demanding aesthetic procedures, as the nose is the most central and defining element of the face. The aim of modern rhinoplasty is not to achieve a ‘perfect’ nose, but a natural, harmonious and personalised nose that blends perfectly with other features and enhances the overall aesthetics of the face - without looking surgical.
At the same time, rhinoplasty is often combined with functional rehabilitation - such as straightening the septum (diaphragm) or reducing the nasal cones - to improve breathing and restore potential problems that affect quality of life.
What does rhinoplasty fix?
Depending on the needs of each person, rhinoplasty can correct:
Aesthetic imperfections, such as:
- Lumps (hump) on the bridge of the nose
- Asymmetry or width of the nasal spine
- Falling or upward direction of the nasal trunk
- Correction of the nose after an injury
- Sizes or shapes of nostrils that are aesthetically disturbing
Functional problems, such as:
- Scoliosis of the nasal septum
- Hypertrophy of the nasal cavities
- Difficulty breathing through the nose
- Snoring or chronic nasal congestion
Natural result: the A and the Z
Modern rhinoplasty aims for a discreet and natural result - a nose that respects the anatomy and expression of the face. We do not seek a single ‘template’ nose for everyone, but a personalized enhancement that enhances facial features without altering identity.
How is the surgery performed?
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia, and can be done with an open or closed approach, depending on the case. In many cases it is combined with a septoplasty to improve breathing.
The duration varies from 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and the hospital stay is usually overnight.
Recovery and rehabilitation
- Return to daily activities: in 5-7 days
- Splint removal: in 7 days
- Swelling and bruising: gradual reduction within 10-15 days
- Visible result: from the first month
- Final result: in 6-12 months, with natural tissue formation
The role of the specialist
Rhinoplasty requires special expertise in facial surgery, knowledge of the function of the nose and aesthetic sensitivity. That's why it's important to consult a facial plastic surgeon who can provide you with precise planning, a safe approach and natural results.
