RHINOPLASTY

Correction of a nose is carried out to:
– change a tip of a nose ( chondral nose part surgery)
– nose’s shape correction by its reduction, removing a bone bump, reshaping its chondral or bone skeleton
– deviation of nasal septum correction

Each surgery can be done separately , depending on the effect we want to achieve, as well as the case.

Rhinoplasty can be performed in two different ways:
-by inner incision (inside of a nose)
-by so called „open nose” – incision inside and on nasal bridge

This surgery can be performed only on adult patients, over 20 – 21 years old, when the bone apposition ends. Rhinoplasty is one of few surgeries, where for a final result one waits about a year.

Rhinoplasty is carried out under general and local anesthesia. Average time of the operation is 1,5h.

It is necessary to stay in the clinic for up to 2 days.
