Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)

Rhinoplasty is a popular plastic surgery procedure used to reshape the nose. In addition to its popularity, it is considered one of the most complex facial surgeries and requires a high level of expertise from surgeons.

Types of rhinoplasty performed in leading international clinics:

Open rhinoplasty. The incision is made externally along the columella. This method is the most convenient for the operating surgeon, but it leaves a scar on the patient. It is rarely used and typically reserved for cases with serious indications.

Closed rhinoplasty. All incisions are made inside the nose. The procedure is performed under endoscopic control. This type of rhinoplasty is more technically challenging than open rhinoplasty but is less traumatic and does not leave scars.

Laser rhinoplasty. A laser beam is used instead of a scalpel. The advantage of this method is that the tissues are cauterized immediately, preventing harmful bacteria from entering the wound. Additionally, the risk of bleeding is minimized.

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty. This advanced technology allows for gentler correction of the nasal bone structure, accelerating healing and reducing the risk of damage. With ultrasonic rhinoplasty, the likelihood of bruising and swelling is significantly reduced, and the recovery period is much shorter.

How an experienced surgeon at a top international clinic can change the nose:

• Remove a hump
• Reduce length
• Reshape the nasal tip
• Raise or lower the columella (skin between the nostrils)
• Narrow or widen the nostrils
• Elevate the nasal bridge
• Correct a deviated septum

Specifics of the procedure in international clinics

The main stage of rhinoplasty involves modeling the bone and cartilage tissues. The use of ultrasound or laser technology (piezorhinosculpture) increases the precision and effectiveness of nasal correction.

The following innovations are implemented in leading international clinics:

• In open procedures, special aesthetic sutures are prioritized, which become almost invisible after healing
• Digital simulation: Software for preoperative visualization allows patients to better understand the expected changes and make more informed decisions

Pain control methods: New approaches to managing postoperative discomfort make the recovery process more comfortable for patients
