What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical intervention that allows you to correct the shape of the nose for aesthetic purposes or due to medical indications. This is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in Ukraine and around the world.

Aesthetic rhinoplasty helps to change the size and shape of the nose, in particular to correct such features as:

A wide nasal bridge
Asymmetry and deformities
A lowered nasal tip
A hump

Rhinoplasty in Lviv is becoming increasingly popular among patients who seek to improve their appearance, restore normal nasal breathing, and gain the desired comfort.

In What Cases is Rhinoplasty Recommended?

Plastic surgery of the nose can be performed for aesthetic and medical reasons. Aesthetic indications include:

Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the nose (hump, asymmetrical shape, etc.)
Restoration of facial harmony — if the shape of the nose disrupts the overall balance of the face

For medical indications, nose surgery is performed in the following cases:

Impaired nasal breathing due to a deviated nasal septum
Previous nasal injuries
Pathologies in the development of nasal structures

Closed and Open Rhinoplasty: What is the Difference?

There are two types of plastic surgery:

Open rhinoplasty is a surgery in which a plastic surgeon makes a small incision in the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) and lifts the skin of the nose to provide full access to its structures. This method allows for better visualization and accurate modeling of bone and cartilage tissue. The method is usually used in complex cases or during reconstructive surgeries. The suture after such a procedure is barely noticeable and almost disappears over time.
Closed rhinoplasty is performed through incisions inside the nasal passages, without external incisions. The skin is not lifted, which makes the surgery less traumatic. Recovery after closed rhinoplasty is usually faster, and postoperative scars are completely hidden.

The type of intervention is chosen by the doctor after a thorough diagnosis.

How to prepare for rhinoplasty?

Before rhinoplasty, the following are required:

Consultation with an otolaryngologist and a plastic surgeon
Computer 3D modeling of the expected result
Carrying out the necessary tests and examinations

An individual list of examinations is drawn up for each patient; this is necessary for the procedure to be 100% safe.

Two weeks before the operation, it is important to give up alcohol, smoking, fatty and heavy foods, as well as to adjust sleep and nutrition routines. A few hours before rhinoplasty, it is necessary to refrain from eating and drinking.

Contraindications to Rhinoplasty

The procedure for aesthetic nose correction is not performed if the patient has:

Acute infectious diseases
Chronic diseases in the acute stage (diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, heart failure)
Blood clotting disorders
Oncological diseases

The surgeons of our clinic also do not perform rhinoplasty on patients under 18 years of age, pregnant women, or women who are breastfeeding.

Rhinoplasty in Lviv: How Is This Procedure Performed?

Rhinoplasty involves hospitalization and is performed under general anesthesia. The operation lasts an average of 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity.

Before the operation, the doctor conducts a detailed initial consultation, carefully listens to the patient’s wishes, and assesses individual facial features. After that, a set of examinations is prescribed to assess the general state of health and exclude possible risks or contraindications.

Before the intervention, you will be examined by an anesthesiologist, who will check drug tolerability and finally confirm your readiness for the operation. This is an important step to ensure maximum safety during the procedure.

The Main Stages of Rhinoplasty at the Korona Clinic

Rhinoplasty is performed in stages:

Preparation. You undergo the necessary examinations, follow the doctor’s recommendations regarding lifestyle, and agree on the desired shape of the nose with the surgeon. Thanks to modeling capabilities, you can see yourself with a new nose even before the intervention.
Introduction into drug-induced sleep. The anesthesiologist carefully administers general anesthesia. You fall asleep under the supervision of specialists.
Surgical stage. After anesthesia, the surgeon makes the first incision. In open rhinoplasty, the incision is made on the columella (the bridge between the nostrils) for the most accurate access to the tissues. In closed rhinoplasty, all manipulations are performed through internal incisions.
Shape correction. The modeling process lasts about 60–80 minutes. Depending on the plan, excess tissue may be removed, cartilage may be adjusted, or implants may be placed to achieve the desired result.
Completion of the operation. After the main manipulations are completed, stitches are applied, and the nose is fixed with a special bandage to stabilize the new nose shape.

Features of Rehabilitation After Rhinoplasty

The first days of rehabilitation may be accompanied by swelling, bruising, and discomfort. The nasal bandage and splints are usually removed after 7–10 days.

Healing takes up to several months, although the first results are visible after 2–4 weeks. During this time, it is important to limit physical activity and avoid saunas, swimming pools, and active sunlight.

In the first few weeks after surgery, discomfort, swelling, bleeding, temporary numbness, or changes in sensitivity are possible. With proper care and adherence to the doctor’s recommendations, the risk of complications is minimal.

The final result of rhinoplasty can be assessed 6–12 months after surgery, when all tissues have fully healed. The result is maintained for life, but in rare cases, repeated correction may be required.
