Before deciding on a rhinoplasty, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive online pre-assessment. This helps determine the appropriate treatment strategy and accurately consider individual needs and expectations. With this preventive analysis, potential risks can be better assessed, ensuring the best outcomes for a successful rhinoplasty.
There are various reasons why patients opt for a rhinoplasty:
Aesthetic Reasons: A disproportionate nose, a prominent nasal hump, or a wide nasal tip can affect one’s self-confidence. Rhinoplasty can enhance the appearance of the nose and create a more harmonious look.
Functional Reasons: Breathing difficulties often arise due to a deviated septum or narrowed nostrils. Rhinoplasty can improve the function of the nose and facilitate easier breathing.
During a comprehensive consultation, you will discuss your wishes and expectations with the surgeon. A detailed examination and possibly 3D simulations will help plan the desired procedure and select the best method for your rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the need, the approach to the nose will be either open (via a small incision on the nasal bridge) or closed (through incisions inside the nose). The surgeon will reshape the nasal bones and cartilage according to the planned changes.
After the procedure, the nose will be stabilized with a splint. Swelling and bruising may occur in the first few weeks but will gradually subside. The healing process occurs in stages, and the final result becomes visible after a few months.
Regular follow-up appointments ensure that the healing process is progressing well, and any necessary adjustments can be made. Your surgeon will provide you with instructions on care and support you in monitoring the healing process to achieve the best outcome.
Healing begins in the first few days after the surgery. The initial results become visible after a few months, but the final and lasting result usually appears after 6 to 12 months. During this period, your hair grows naturally, and the problem of hair loss is permanently eliminated.
The initial recovery phase lasts around 1-2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising subside. However, the final shape of the nose may not be fully visible for several months, sometimes up to a year.
In closed rhinoplasty, the incisions are made inside the nose and are therefore invisible. In open rhinoplasty, a small scar is left on the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), but it usually becomes barely noticeable once healed.
Yes, particularly if there are functional issues such as a deviated septum, rhinoplasty can improve nasal breathing while also making aesthetic changes.
Typically, you can return to light work after about a week, once the splint is removed and swelling subsides. Physically demanding activities should be avoided for a few weeks.
The result of rhinoplasty is permanent. Once healing is complete, the nose generally retains its new shape for a lifetime unless there is trauma or health issues.
During the surgery itself, you won’t feel any pain due to general anesthesia. In the first few days after the procedure, mild pain and tightness may occur but can be well-managed with pain medications.
