Nasal plastic surgery or rhinoplasty is prescribed for patients who are older than 15 and want to improve their facial aesthetics, harmonising the shape of the nose with the face. Rhinoplasty may also be associated with surgery that aims to correct the respiratory condition in patients who breathe with difficulty.

T he aesthetical rhinoplasty, one of the most traditional surgeries in the plastic surgery ambit, is the one which draws more attention due to the fact that the facial contour of the patient is modified. It is one of the conducts which had more evolution in the last years, currently allowing aesthetic and functional results, with the preservation of the noble anatomic elements of the nose.
There is an aesthetic balance between the nose and the face, each case is studied minutely in order to give the nose the best shape possible within the face demands. If your choice coincides with that kind of planned nose, you will undoubtedly feel like having it done. Within the aesthetical surgeries, the nose surgery is one of which offers great satisfactions.

The length of hospitalisation lasts 24 hours and the surgery last 2 and half hours.

Sedation and local anaesthesia are used for nose plastic surgery

The rhinoplasty does not leave a visible external scar except when the nostrils are reduced.

Complications are rare in Rhinoplasty, but the commonest in this kind of surgery are: post-operative bleeding, hematoma, infection, nasal blockage, asymmetry, problems with the anaesthesia.
