Rhinoplasty is one of the oldest operations in plastic surgery.
Changing the shape of the nose is performed in cases of congenital, post-traumatic nature, or after a previously unsuccessfully conducted rhinoplasty (Revision Rhinoplasty), as well as, in cases of respiratory failure, or patient desire to change the shape of his/her nose for aesthetic reasons.
The achievements of modern rhinoplasty allow changing the length and width of the nose, removal of the bump, correction of the nasal septum and the tip of the nose.
With the changing shape of the nose, the overall style of the face and its proportions change as well. The face becomes "softer", more expressive and appealing. This, in turn, raises the patient's self-esteem and gives her/him confidence.
Depending on individual case, the operation can be is performed through "closed" or "open" methods.
