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.

01

Description

An aesthetic and/or functional procedure on the nose, tailored to the patient's anatomy, skin, and expectations. It can address the dorsal hump, tip, width, deviation, and certain associated breathing issues.

02

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.

03

Recovery

Swelling and bruising are common during the first week. Return to social activities is often possible after splint removal (day 7-10). The result continues to refine gradually over several months.
