Nose surgery (medically known as rhinoplasty) is a surgical procedure that alters the external shape and/or function of the nose. It is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries worldwide, but can also be performed for medical reasons (e.g., to improve breathing). Here is an overview of the most important aspects:
🔹 Reasons for a Rhinoplasty
Aesthetic Reasons:
Hump on the bridge of the nose
Crooked or asymmetrical nose
Nose that is too large or too small
Wide nostrils or nasal tip
Medical Reasons:
Deviated septum
Breathing problems
After accidents or injuries
Congenital malformations
🔹 Types of Rhinoplasty
1. Closed Rhinoplasty:
Incisions are made only inside the nose
Less visible scars
Shorter healing time
2. Open Rhinoplasty:
Incision at the columella (between the Nostrils)
Better visibility for the surgeon in more complex cases
Functional Rhinoplasty:
Focus on restoring nasal breathing
4. Non-surgical Nose Correction (with Hyaluronic Acid):
Temporary correction through injections
No surgery, but also not a permanent solution
🔹 Procedure
Consultation
Clarification of wishes, examination of the nose, simulation of the result if necessary
Preliminary examination
Blood tests, possibly CT scan
Surgery
Duration 1–3 hours, usually under general anesthesia
Aftercare
Splint on the nose (approx. 1 week), swelling and bruising common
🔹 Risks and Complications
Swelling, bruising
Infections
Nosebleeds
Scarring (rare) visible)
Asymmetries
* Dissatisfaction with the result (revision surgery possible)
* Impaired breathing (temporary or permanent)
* Impaired breathing (temporary or permanent)
💶 Costs
Cosmetic procedures: €3,000–€7,000
🔹 Healing time
Socially acceptable after 1–2 weeks
Final result visible after 6–12 months
Swelling can last a long time, especially at the tip of the nose.
