Rhinoplasty (Plastic Surgery of the Nose)

Rhinoplasty is a correction or reconstructing of the form of the nose by means of surgery. This method is effective in both cases – when the correction of congenial peculiarities is needed and when elimination of injury or failed plastic surgery should take place.

 Plastic surgery of the nose makes it possible to decide several tasks on a single occasion:

• to change the size of the nose (to make it bigger or smaller);

• to remove crook in the nose;

• to correct nose tip;

• to correct the form of the nose cavity;

• reconstruction after falling, different blows, cutting, burns, animal biting.

Furthermore, plastic surgery helps to remove such inborn imperfections as cleft palate («hare lip», cheiloschisis) and frontonasal dysplasia. 

There are two basic types of rhinoplasty – open and closed. During a closed rhinoplasty all incisions are made through the nostrils, inside the nose. During an open rhinoplasty, an external incision is made in the columella (the area between the nostrils).

Which type of rhinoplasty will be performed by a surgeon depends upon the character and the volume of  manipulations needed. 

The first stage of rhinoplasty is careful planning. By the moment of the operation both the surgeon and the patient will be aware of the appearance modification which will be performed. 

Such an approach helps the surgeon to understand better the patient’s seeing of his ideal appearance and as a consequence  it provides contentment with the result. 

Elaborating of the plan of the surgery starts during the consultation. The patient expresses his or her wishes as to the new appearance. After that a doctor takes pictures of the patient’s face from different perspectives to get a computer model, the so-called projection image. 

The patient is usually suggested a certain choice of different forms of the nose. The surgeon lays emphasis on the variants which comply with the patient’s face proportions. 

The final decision is made by the patient. Only after that the operation will be performed. 

This approach makes it possible to achieve a 95% aptness of the result with the projection image in profile and 85% - full face. 

As the consequence, the patient receives a predictable result and a desired effect from rhinoplasty.
