Rhinoplasty
Plastic of nose ( or Rhinoplasty ) is a surgery to change the outer contours and proportions of the nose with the purpose of correcting deformities, both congenital and acquired.
Rhinoplasty can be combined with septoplasty - it's surgery elimination of curvature of the nasal septum and restoration of nasal breathing.
In depending on the existing defect, the tasks of such intervention can be as follows:
When Rhinoplasty is combined with restoration of respiratory function, so we named operation as Rhinoseptoplasty.

In depending on the existing defect, the tasks of such intervention can be as follows:
- change in size (enlargement or reduction of the nose);
- restoration of normal respiratory function, which is impaired in as a result of congenital or acquired pathologies.
When Rhinoplasty is combined with restoration of respiratory function, so we named operation as Rhinoseptoplasty.
Rhinoplasty can be performed on different nasal structures of the nose:
tip, distillation, wings, back, concha. In each case, certain goals are pursued.
For example, correcting the wings of the nose may involve narrowing or shrinking them.
Plastic surgery today uses the following types of rhinoplasty:
Closed nasal surgery is more gentle than open surgery. All incisions and sutures are located in the nasal cavity. But this type of operation is performed with minor defects.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty is also used. It is the most progressive and has the least side effects. This is a painless technique, the results of which are achieved using lipofilling injections. Such Rhinoplasty allows you to change the shape of the nose, if there is no need to carry out internal corrective work in order to eliminate serious defects.
Directly during the operation, the plastic surgeon determines where to reduce and where to add volumes on specific nasal structures. To reduce some of them, they can partially remove bones and cartilage, remove subcutaneous structures, or perform an osteotomy of the nasal bones.

Indications for plastic surgery of the nose can be both cosmetic defects or a desire to improve the appearance, and pathologies that are of a medical nature.
That is why Rhinoplasty can be performed in such cases:
Aesthetic or reconstructive nose correction is carried out only after the diagnosis has been made.
- pathology of bone and cartilage tissues of a congenital nature;
- disharmony of the proportions and shape of the nose (including the saddle shape), which violates the aesthetics and harmony of facial features;
- deformities of the conchas of the nose - congenital and acquired as a result of trauma;
- thickened, drooping tip of the nose;
- complications that developed as a result of the operation;
- polyps;
- insufficient or enlarged nose;
- incorrect physiological position of the septum, which provokes respiratory disorders, which affects the health of the whole organism and the patient's well-being;
- hump;
- dilated wings of the nose, large nostrils.
Aesthetic or reconstructive nose correction is carried out only after the diagnosis has been made.
Rhinoplasty has relative, that is, absolute, and relative contraindications for carrying out.
Contraindications for such surgery :
Contraindications for such surgery :
- diabetes;
- disease of internal organs in the acute phase;
- blood disease associated with a violation of its coagulability;
- viral infection;
- inflammation of the paranasal sinuses;
- thyroid disease;
- chronic hypertension;
- malignant tumor;
- cardiovascular disease;
- mental disorder.
Nasal plastic intervention requires some preparation for carrying out.
Rhinoplasty is carried out in several stages:
After the operation, the patient will experience swelling and bruising for several weeks. This is normal and will pass very soon. There may be numbness in the tip of the nose, which usually goes away within a few months.
That is why the real effect can be assessed only after about six months.
Some regularly questions:
How long does the examination take before the operation: 1-3 days.
How long does the operation take: 1-2 hours (it all depends on the features and complexity of the plastic surgery).
The patient will be admitted at the hospital for 1-3 days.
Pain relief: General anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with sedative medications is given.
The location of the cuts. Various options are possible. It depends on which nasal structure will be corrected - nasal cavity, base, column.
Rehabilitation period: lasts 10-14 days. The compression bandage, stitches and splints (tampons) are removed after 5-10 days. Bruises, swelling and other side effects that appear after the operation cease to bother the patient by about the end of the second week. Not the slightest trace or discomfort remains 3 months after the correction.
Possible side effects: painful sensations, swelling and bruising (temporary), fever, slight bleeding in the initial period of rehabilitation.
Predicted risks: in rare cases, there may be hematomas, nasal asymmetry, infectious complications, scarring on the nose.
Result: permanent.

The effect, results, risks and recovery period depend on the characteristics of the organism of each person individually.
- Patient consultation with a plastic surgeon. Even with a minor correction, the specialist needs to assess the volume and complexity of the work. This can be done only after a thorough examination of the structure of the nose, determining its individual characteristics, identifying internal disorders and other defects. It often happens that the patient wants to reduce the shape of the nose or remove the hump, and some serious pathologies are found during the examination. In addition, the consultation allows you to set the exact price of the operation.
- Necessary Investigations. After the examination, the plastic surgeon will prescribe a list of lab tests and necessary investigations which should be taken before the operation. You will also need to consult with a therapist and anesthesiologist.
- Appointment of the day of the operation. Based on the results of the analysis, the doctor prescribes a specific day and time for the plastic surgery.
- The operation is performed under general or local anesthesia. Duration depends on the complexity of the case. The doctor performs a nose correction using a closed or open method, on which the features of the intervention will depend. If this is an open method, then the doctor, after all the corrective manipulations, sutures the external incisions with a special thin nylon thread, which is almost invisible. Internal sutures are applied with a suture that will absorb over time. After the sutures are imposed, a special plaster or plaster bandage is glued to the nose, and a splint (bandage) is applied on top, which performs a supportive, fixing and protective function, which is able to reduce puffiness. Silicone plates (splints) or tampons are inserted into the nostril openings.
- Rehabilitation period. Immediately, even with a bandage, the patient can breathe. Those who have undergone rhinoplasty to straighten the deviated septum immediately notice an excellent effect (improved sleep and well-being). After about a week, the doctor removes the bandage. To speed up the recovery process, the patient is given certain recommendations, a rehabilitation program is prescribed (it consists of various procedures). For about 3 weeks, you need to exert less physically.
