Freedom to breathe! Consultation with a plastic surgeon to correct the shape of the nose.
Beauty is harmony. And a beautiful face is, first of all, a face in which all the features are in harmony with each other.
The nose largely determines the grace and harmony of facial features. And often even minimal correction of the shape or size of the nose can change the appearance and make it more attractive. Perhaps this is why rhinoplasty is the most popular operation in plastic surgery .
Rhinoplasty is considered a rather labor-intensive operation in the world of aesthetic medicine. This type of surgical intervention is aimed at creating a visually correct shape of the nose: reducing it, removing the hump, correcting the tip, etc. The patient should understand that the anatomy of the nose does not always allow modeling a certain shape.
Indications for nose correction
The most common reason for rhinoplasty is aesthetic correction: the desire to change the shape and length of the nose, remove a hump, or correct nasal deformities due to injury. The second reason for correction is medical indications, for example, a deviated nasal septum, which causes complications such as migraines and difficulty breathing.
General indications for rhinoplasty are:
- Disproportionality of the size of the nose in relation to other facial features.
- Deviation of the nasal septum.
- Congenital or acquired deformation of the osteochondral base of the nose.
- Asymmetry of the nose (hump, asymmetry of the nostrils; forked, drooping or too raised, asymmetrical tip, etc.).
- Unsatisfactory result of an already performed operation.
Depending on the direction of the operation, rhinoplasty allows you to give the desired aesthetic appearance and/or restore its normal functionality.
Contraindications
Contraindications to surgery are rather of a general nature for plastic surgery: cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus (in severe forms), blood clotting disorders, and infectious diseases.
Another factor when deciding to undergo rhinoplasty is the patient’s age. Nose correction surgery is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age (and sometimes 20); at this age, the cartilage tissue of the nose is still forming, which can affect the final result of the operation.
Types of rhinoplasty
There are several options for nose correction - rhinoplasty, septoplasty and rhinoseptoplasty.
Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic correction of the nose that has no medical indications.
Septoplasty is a medical operation to correct the nasal septum and improve the normal functionality of the nose, performed for medical reasons (difficulty breathing, polyps).
Rhinoseptoplasty is a complex plastic surgery of the nose, which involves not only changing the proportions and shape of the nose (including correction of the tip of the nose), but also correcting the nasal septum (septoplasty) to improve respiratory function.
Preparing for nose correction surgery
During a face-to-face consultation, the doctor examines the patient, discusses the surgical plan for nose correction, and explains all aspects and possible complications of the operation.
Mandatory examination before surgery includes blood tests, urine tests, sugar levels, ECG and consultation with an anesthesiologist. You can undergo the entire list of tests on site, at the Dipplex clinic.
Before undergoing rhinoplasty, it is recommended to avoid the use of medications and nasal drops for three months before surgery, as many of them can interfere with the healing process after surgery. If they are still used, then it is necessary to notify the attending physician about this. You should also not take any medications without consulting your doctor. Some medications may interact unfavorably with drugs used for anesthesia and anesthesia.
It is necessary to stop smoking for 4 weeks before and after rhinoplasty (in some cases for a longer period, as determined by the doctor).
Postoperative period
The duration of the operation, on average, is no more than 2 hours.
Immediately after the operation, a tight bandage is applied to the patient’s nose; it is left for 7-10 days.
The entire postoperative period takes place under the supervision of a doctor: the surgeon prescribes regular examinations after removing the plaster, any additional questions are promptly resolved by the doctor over the phone or during a consultation.
The rehabilitation period after nose correction largely depends on the individual characteristics of the body and the patient’s age, so the doctor can only give an approximate recovery time.
After the operation, you cannot actively engage in sports (from 4 to 8 weeks); you should avoid sudden changes in temperature. After the operation, the surgeon will also give individual recommendations regarding nutrition and lifestyle.
Each case of nose correction is individual and requires the surgeon’s impeccable skill and impeccable knowledge of the anatomy of the bone and cartilaginous structures of the nose, the characteristics of the tissues and skin.

Breast augmentation and correction surgeries
Our clinic performs several dozen breast augmentation surgeries annually.

Eyelid lift. Blepharoplasty.
Eyelid surgery and lifting (blepharoplasty) combines several types of plastic surgery aimed at eliminating age-related and facial wrinkles, as well as the problems associated with them.
Our plastic surgeon necessarily conducts a consultation with the patient and, based on his wishes, determines the scope of the upcoming operation. For example, in some cases it is enough to lift only the upper or lower eyelid. In other cases, the doctor performs a full circular eyelid lift.
Blepharoplasty is rightfully considered the most popular and simplest operation and, moreover, completely safe from the point of view of pathologies that arise after the operation.

Preparation and progress of the operation
Planning for any surgical intervention begins with an in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon. In addition to clarifying the patient’s aesthetic wishes, the doctor must:
- inspect the surgical area;
- study the condition of tissues;
- identify respiratory dysfunction;
- give directions for x-rays and tests;
- In case of serious violations, involve related specialists.
Computer modeling is also used, and a series of photographs are taken from different angles. All this is necessary to obtain the best result, so you should approach the preparatory stage with understanding.
As a rule, rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. After administering anesthesia, the surgeon corrects the osteochondral or only cartilaginous frame, giving the nose the desired shape. In modern high-level clinics, the scalpel and “hammer and chisel” technique have long been replaced by laser technologies and ultrasound-conserving rhinosurgery. Laser interventions are bloodless, the risk of wound infection is eliminated, and the ultra-high-frequency microsaw spares the surrounding soft tissue.
Depending on the complexity, the operation lasts 1-2.5 hours. At the end, sutures are placed, the traces of which are practically invisible after successful healing and in the absence of postoperative complications.
How much does a nose correction cost?
The final goal affects the price of rhinoplasty and the method of access to the problem area. A distinction is made between aesthetic goals aimed at harmonizing facial features and surgical interventions based on objective indications. In the first case, rhinoplasty lies in the plane of cosmetology, since minor adjustments are made non-surgically, through the use of fillers. By introducing gel fillers based on collagen and hyaluronic acid, a cosmetologist can:
- lift the tip;
- smooth out irregularities on the bridge of the nose;
- even out minor asymmetries.
In the second, traditional understanding of rhinoplasty methods, we are talking about full-fledged surgery:
- rhinoseptoplasty (correction of the cartilaginous septum);
- bone repositions, osteotomies;
- surgical removal of the hump;
- increasing volume;
- correction of the tip, wing, elimination of asymmetry.
In addition, correction can be primary or secondary. Revision (secondary plastic surgery) is carried out to eliminate defects remaining after primary plastic surgery and may cost more due to serious complications. Thus, the issue of determining the final cost of rhinoplasty is individual and subject to the influence of many factors.
What to choose: injection plastic surgery or rhinosurgery
Some clinics call nose correction using injections a non-surgical method, but in essence it is a cosmetic procedure. The difference between it and surgery is that drug injections are temporary measures for the architecture of the nose, while surgery is permanent. The results of non-surgical plastic surgery with threads do not last long - a maximum of 2 years. In the case of serious defects, the choice for the patient is obvious, and the price of rhinoplasty using surgical methods in complex cases is quite justified.
Indications for plastic surgery on the nose
You should know that nose correction is only performed on adult patients. The only exceptions are emergency interventions of a traumatic nature. Otherwise, the indications for rhinoplasty surgery are:
- disproportionality relative to the face;
- nose “potato”, “hook”, saddle-shaped;
- too large nostrils or inverted wings;
- hump on the back of the nose;
- excessively wide or narrow tip;
- deformation due to injury;
- birth defects that make breathing difficult;
- unsatisfactory result of a previous operation
Rehabilitation after nose correction surgery
The rehabilitation period lasts 2-3 weeks, but the nose acquires its final shape only after 3-6 months. It all depends on the individual capabilities of the body and the patient’s attitude.
You can leave the hospital the next day after plastic surgery. For rehabilitation to be successful, it is necessary:
- wear a plaster splint for the first days;
- promptly change tampons in the nasal passages;
- do not overexert yourself, do not stay in the sun for a long time, avoid dusty rooms;
- Avoid salty foods to avoid increased swelling;
- do not drink or eat hot foods, so as not to provoke bleeding
Many people are unhappy with their noses, this explains the popularity of rhinoplasty in Rostov-on-Don, but reviews about time restrictions seem too harsh to many. However, given the price of rhinoplasty in 2022 and the opportunity to finally stop being ashamed of your own appearance, a reasonable person will try to follow the recommendations.
Commonly used types of plastic surgery
Aesthetic and functional nose correction is achieved using different methods. A good plastic surgeon will always offer the most effective and least traumatic procedure.
Public method
A popular, widely demanded and effective method of rhinoplasty with an incision in the columella area and subsequent application of external sutures. During manipulations, the surgeon receives a complete overview of the operating picture. Open rhinoplasty is used if extensive correction is needed, including congenital pathologies.
Septoplasty
Correction of only the area of the deviated septum, without affecting external structures. Before the procedure, a consultation with an ENT specialist is indicated. With a successful intervention, breathing ability is restored, the feeling of constant congestion disappears, and the patient gets rid of snoring.
Rhinoplasty with osteotomy
Shape correction involves moving the bones of the base of the nose, for which the surgeon needs to break the bone and remodel it. It is used when it is necessary to cut down a hump, correct a crooked nose bridge, or reduce or increase the size of the nose. Augmentation and revision rhinoplasty are among the most complex methods of rhinoplasty - the price of total reconstruction is high, but the changes are worth it.
Private method
Closed rhinoplasty with sutures inside is performed on the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity with detachment of the skin from the osteochondral frame. Typically, the closed method is chosen for mini-corrections, if there is no task to make global changes. The method does not leave scars on the face, the stitches are located on the inside, but the surgeon does not have visual access to the operating area.
Correction of minor external flaws
This method is used when it is necessary to act within the cartilaginous structures of the tip of the nose. However, do not underestimate the complexity of this operation. This is a delicate and delicate work that requires skill and artistic approach.
