Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty corrects the shape of the nose (dorsal hump, tip, asymmetry) while preserving breathing function when needed. The goal is a harmonious, natural result suited to your face.

Surgical technique
Rhinoplasty is performed in the operating theatre under general anesthesia, using a closed or open approach depending on the case. The surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage structures, then applies a splint for about 7 days.

Recovery
