The appearance of a person depends on the shape, size and proportions of the nose. Plastic surgery is performed to eliminate defects in the nose and improve the appearance. Among all aesthetic surgeries, nose plastics are in first place in popularity, both among women and men.
Indications for rhinoplasty
The medical indication for plastic surgery is:
- Pathology of the nasal septum (with such a defect, breathing becomes difficult, which further affects the cardiovascular system).
- Violation of the shape of the nose after an injury.
- Congenital defect in the structure of the nose (asymmetrical arrangement of the nostrils).
In other cases, rhinoplasty is performed with the sole desire of the patient to have a beautiful nose.
Contraindications
The main contraindication for surgery is under 18 years of age. Nasal cartilage in childhood is still completely unformed, because of this there is a risk of complications after plastic surgery. For the same reason, surgery may be refused at a more mature age, after 40 years.
Chronic diseases can also serve as contraindications, these include:
- Diabetes.
- Tuberculosis.
- AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
- Diseases of the liver and kidneys.
- Blood clotting disorder.
Pros and cons
Plastic surgery on the nose has its pros and cons. Pros: the patient acquires the ideal shape of the nose, a feeling of self-confidence appears, and due to the elimination of the hump, breathing is normalized. Cons: there is a risk of complications, patient's expectations may be unjustified. However, this can be avoided by choosing a good specialist.
Operation types
There are several types of nose plastic surgery:
- Correction of the tip of the nose - the most difficult type of plastic surgery, which can greatly change the appearance by just correcting the nose.
The shape of the tip of the nose was corrected during plastic surgery by a surgical method - Correction of the back of the nose (columella) - elimination of hump, giving the correct shape to the nose.
- Septorhinoplasty - alignment of the curve of the nasal septum, carried out to soften breathing.
- Conchotomy - a decrease in the mucous membrane in the nose, which interferes with breathing.
- Electrocoagulation - removal of excess mucous tissue by electric current, to restore breathing.
- Nose contouring - a method of correcting deficiencies without surgery, using injections of hyaluronic acid.
Removal of the hump of the nose
A hump on the nose is the most common defect, especially in people of Caucasian ethnicity. It follows that, first of all, the deformation of the nasal septum is a hereditary feature. If earlier the hump on the nose was removed only during surgical intervention, now, thanks to modern technologies, you can do without a scalpel.
The non-surgical method is injections of collagen or hyaluronic acid. The drug fills the areas above and below the hump, and the nose is visually aligned.
But this method has a number of disadvantages:
- The procedure must be repeated after a year.
- The real problem is not solved, the hump is not removed.
- The nose may look even bigger than it did before the procedure.
Removal of the hump with the help of plastic surgery is more effective, meeting all expectations. The hump can be removed in just 2 hours, which lasts the operation. And no procedures supporting the result are required.
Plastic nose tip
Correction by changing the tip of the nose is performed for patients with a drooping or upturned tip, or with a very wide, rounded one. The operation itself is the removal of the cartilage at the tip, thereby reducing the size and shape of the nose.
Plastic surgery to change the tip of the nose is very difficult, because the cartilage tissue in this part of each patient is unique. The slightest medical error can lead to irreversible consequences.
Apex surgery is performed in two ways: open and closed. With open repair, only one small incision of the jumper is made and excess cartilage is removed. In a closed operation, the nasal mucosa is cut. Both methods have their risks, but an experienced surgeon can do the job brilliantly.

Correction of the wide back of the nose
A wide nose makes the face very heavy and rough, but with plastic surgery even a wide and large nose can become thin and attractive. Depending on what are the proportions of the height and length of the nose, the correction method is chosen. The high back is reduced, the short back is lengthened with the help of implants, and the width is narrowed by displacement of the cartilage tissue.
Correction of the wings of the nose
Correction of the wings of the nose is performed for patients with:
- wide nostrils (found in Asians);
- crooked nostrils;
- asymmetrical nostrils;
- too narrow nostrils.
During the operation, 2 main methods are used: removal of skin tissue and tightening of the nasal openings. The first method is performed in all cases, the tissue at the base of the nostrils is removed, a suture remains at the site of the incisions.
The second method is applicable only to wide nostrils, with the help of an incision and a thread, the nasal openings are brought closer to each other, thereby reducing the wings of the nose.

Plastic surgery on the nose is performed by 2 methods: open and closed. Open rhinoplasty is used in especially serious cases when it is impossible to perform the work with the closed plastic method.
Open plastic surgery - This is the execution of a dissection of the soft tissues of the nose, as a result of which, greater access to the internal structure opens. Thus, the operation is faster and easier, but the postoperative scars are much more visible.
Closed rhinoplasty - a more gentle method of nose plastics, performed using marginal incisions. Since the incisions are minimal and the arteries are not damaged, the stitches heal very quickly and there are practically no scars left.
Usually, closed plastic surgery is performed to create an extremely aesthetic beauty of the nose. Another modern rhinoplasty method is laser nose surgery.
Laser
Laser nose surgery is an operation that uses a laser beam instead of a surgical scalpel.
This rhinoplasty method has many positive factors:
- Cutting tissue with maximum speed and precision.
- No bleeding due to laser cauterization of blood vessels.
- Disinfection by exposure to high laser temperatures.
- Less pronounced postoperative edema.
- Rapid tissue repair after rhinoplasty.
As for the disadvantages, laser rhinoplasty has a wide range of applications, however, not every deformity of the nose can be corrected with a laser. Another disadvantage is the too high cost of the operation, not everyone can afford this procedure... In this regard, surgical rhinoplasty remains the most popular.
Surgical
Surgical operations are all operations that are performed with a scalpel by cutting tissue. This method of plastic surgery has been practiced in all surgical clinics for many years.
Despite the fact that modern methods of surgery have appeared, without the use of a scalpel, there are much more highly qualified specialists in this field than in other fields.

Plastic surgery on the nose, which is performed for the first time, is called primary plastic surgery. Secondary plastic is a repeated operation to correct a previous unsuccessful plastic.
Choosing a surgeon: tips, basic criteria
The face is the calling card of any person. Entrusting your face to an inexperienced plastic surgeon is a completely unjustified risk.
In order to never regret a rhinoplasty done, you need to pay attention to:
- The number of operations performed by the surgeon and reviews of real clients.
- Work experience as a surgeon.
- Clinic where the operation (equipment) will take place.
- Mutual understanding between patient and surgeon.
There is no place for shame in this matter; if doubts arise, it is better to refuse to carry out the operation.
Choice of anesthesia
For any operation, local anesthesia or anesthesia is used. Local anesthesia is anesthesia for a specific area to be operated on.
There are 2 methods of local anesthesia:
- application (the drug is applied to the skin surface),
- infiltration (the drug is injected into the tissues).
In rhinoplasty, an infiltration method of anesthesia is used, application anesthesia is not effective enough... Local anesthesia can be used only when the bone tissue is not affected by the surgeon. If we are talking about rhinoplasty to correct the septum, for example, anesthesia (general anesthesia) is used.
There are 3 methods of administering anesthesia:
- intravenous;
- combined;
- inhalation.
Most often, surgeons use the inhalation method of introducing anesthesia... Often, the patient himself asks to "turn off" his consciousness completely, so as not to see what is happening. For this reason, anesthesia is more commonly used than local anesthesia.
Preparation for the procedure, analyzes
Immediately before the operation, the patient needs to pass several tests to obtain admission to the operation:
- clinical blood test;
- general urine analysis;
- biochemical blood test;
- blood test for HIV and syphilis;
- analysis for the detection of hepatitis B, C;
- blood type;
- fluorography;
- ECG;
- dentist consultation;
- the conclusion of the therapist;
All blood tests should be done no earlier than one month before the surgery.
Stages of the
Plastic surgery begins with the introduction of anesthesia. Next, the surgeon examines the nose, nasal passages, makes markings for future dissection of soft tissues. The next step is making incisions to access the nasal cartilage and septum. Depending on the type of operation, the surgeon performs further work (correction of the septum, removal of the hump, reduction of the wings of the nose).
After the nose is reshaped, the surgeon proceeds to close the incisions (suture). The final stage of rhinoplasty is the result and recovery. The final result of the operation can be observed 6 months after the.
Rehabilitation period
Usually, after rhinoplasty, the patient can return home the very next day. For further rehabilitation, it is enough to simply rest and handle the nose, as the surgeon prompts. After a while, the swelling of the nose and bruises under the eyes will disappear, and it will be possible to breathe freely. After about a month, all the seams are overgrown, and there are practically no traces of the operation.
It is enough to adhere to some tips, which is unacceptable to do during the rehabilitation period:
- it is not recommended to sleep on your side and stomach;
- you cannot wear glasses;
- it is contraindicated to lift heavy;
- it is not recommended to take a very hot bath and cold shower;
- sunbathing is contraindicated for 2 months;
- you also can't go to the pool for 2 months;
Possible complications
The most common complications after rhinoplasty are edema and hematoma. Formed in the area of the nose and bridge of the nose, disappear within 1 - 2 months. Infection during surgery is a very rare complication that occurs due to insufficient sterilization of the instruments used by the surgeon.
Another complication is tissue hypertrophy (proliferation). Hypertrophy resolves within 2 weeks, with proper treatment. Some patients with very sensitive skin may experience an allergic reaction to the applied dressings, but this is also a rare complication.
Nutrition after surgery
After any plastic surgery, even after nose surgery, it is extremely important to follow a diet in the postoperative period. Proper nutrition will help to quickly restore the body's strength and relieve unnecessary discomfort.
During the rehabilitation period, it is imperative to exclude salt, harmful food chemistry, sweets and other difficult to digest foods. Food should be healthy, easily digestible, mostly protein. You need to eat more than 3 times in small portions. Thus, the body will not be heavily loaded and easily replenished with energy.
