Rhinoplasty at F&A Medical Center

From €2500

A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose correction, is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. At F&A Medical Center, we understand how important the nose is for the overall appearance of the face. Rhinoplasty can be an extensive but highly satisfying procedure for individuals who are unhappy with the shape, size, or function of their nose. Our specialized ENT surgeons combine medical precision with aesthetic expertise to achieve the best possible result.

Why Choose Rhinoplasty?

There are various reasons why someone may opt for a nose correction, ranging from aesthetic concerns to medical necessity. Common reasons include:

  • A crooked or curved nasal bridge
  • A nose that is too large or too small in proportion to the face
  • Deformity after an accident or trauma
  • Large or wide nostrils
  • A prominent or drooping nasal tip
  • Functional problems such as breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum
  • A bump on the nasal bridge

Types of Rhinoplasty

At F&A Medical Center, we offer different rhinoplasty techniques depending on the patient’s specific needs and goals. These procedures can be performed using either an open or closed approach and focus on improving both function and aesthetics.

Closed Rhinoplasty

In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. This technique is commonly used for simpler corrections, such as removing a dorsal hump or refining the nasal tip.

Advantages
  • No visible scars
  • Shorter recovery time
  • Less swelling
Suitable for
  • Minor corrections of the nasal bridge or tip
  • Septum correction (septoplasty)

Open Rhinoplasty

In an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes a small incision at the base of the nose between the nostrils. This approach provides better visibility of the nasal structures and allows for more complex corrections.

Advantages
  • Greater precision for complex areas
  • Improved control and visibility
  • Clear and refined improvement of the nasal profile
Suitable for
  • A large or wide nasal tip
  • Drooping nasal tip
  • Asymmetric nasal tip

Nasal Tip Correction

A nasal tip correction focuses solely on adjusting the shape and/or position of the nasal tip. This can be done to reduce the size of the tip, lift it, or refine a broader tip. The procedure can be performed using either an open or closed approach, depending on the complexity.

Advantages
  • Greater control and precision, especially in complex corrections
  • Improved access to the septum and nasal bridge
Suitable for
  • Major structural changes to the nose
  • Reconstructive procedures or revision surgeries
  • Corrections after trauma or previous nose surgeries

Septum Correction

A deviated nasal septum can cause breathing difficulties and affect the appearance of the nose. Septoplasty is often performed to improve both the function and the appearance of the nose. It may be combined with a cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Advantages
  • Restores proper breathing function
  • Improves nasal symmetry
  • Often combined with a cosmetic procedure
Suitable for
  • Patients with breathing problems due to a deviated septum
  • Patients seeking both functional and aesthetic improvement

Cartilage or Bone Harvesting

In certain nasal procedures, it may be necessary to harvest cartilage or bone to rebuild or strengthen specific nasal structures. This cartilage can be taken from the septum, the ear, or in some cases, the rib.

Suitable for
  • Patients with damaged or insufficient nasal cartilage
  • Revision surgeries after previous rhinoplasties
  • Reconstructive nasal procedures

Preparation for a Rhinoplasty

Before the surgery, you will have a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced ENT surgeons. During this consultation, your expectations, goals, and available treatment options will be discussed. The surgeon will examine your nose and face carefully and may take photographs to create a tailored treatment plan.

The risks of the procedure will also be explained. Although complications are rare, risks such as infection, bleeding, or scarring may occur with any surgery. Our experienced surgeons take all necessary precautions to minimise these risks.

Recovery After a Rhinoplasty

Recovery varies depending on the patient and the type of procedure. At F&A Medical Center, we aim to guide you through every step of your healing process.

Swelling and Bruising

It is normal to experience swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes during the first week. These symptoms usually disappear within 10 to 14 days.

Nasal Splint

A splint is often applied to the nose to maintain structural support during healing. It is usually removed after one week.

Rest

It is important to rest and avoid heavy physical activity during the first weeks after surgery to prevent complications.

Results

The final results of the rhinoplasty may take several months to become fully visible once the swelling has completely subsided.

Aftercare and Follow-Up

Several follow-up appointments will be scheduled after the surgery to monitor your recovery. During these visits, the surgeon checks the healing progress and ensures that the results meet your expectations. At F&A Medical Center, we are always available for questions or additional support throughout your recovery.

The Result of a Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty can significantly boost your self-confidence. The changes are often subtle but enhance overall facial balance and symmetry. At F&A Medical Center, we aim for natural-looking results that complement your unique features and preferences.
