Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty is a modern plastic surgery procedure aimed at changing the shape, size, or functional characteristics of the nose. It allows for the resolution of aesthetic and medical problems, improving appearance and ensuring comfortable breathing.

Rhinoplasty addresses the following problems:

Nose that is too wide or narrow.
Hump on the nasal bridge.
Asymmetry of nasal tip or nostrils.
Congenital or acquired nasal shape defects.
Nasal breathing disorders due to deviated septum.

Advantages of Rhinoplasty:

Individual approach to each patient.
Combination of aesthetic and functional correction (rhinoseptoplasty).
Long-lasting and predictable results.
Improvement of overall facial appearance through proportion harmonization.

Rhinoplasty Techniques

Surgeon Oleksiy Shkirenko uses the following effective techniques:

Open Rhinoplasty:
- Performed through a small incision on the septum between the nostrils.
- Allows the surgeon to work with maximum precision.
- Ideal for complex cases.
Closed Rhinoplasty:
- All incisions are made inside the nose.
- Less invasive method with shorter rehabilitation period.
- Recommended for patients with minor aesthetic changes.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty:
- Use of injections (lipolytics, Botox, or fillers) for nose shape correction.
- Suitable for temporary changes or correction of minor imperfections.
Reconstructive Rhinoplasty:
- Restoration of nose shape after trauma or previous unsuccessful surgeries.
- May include cartilage or other tissue transplantation.

Indications for Rhinoplasty

Indications:

Aesthetic problems: hump, asymmetry, wide nasal tip or nostrils.
Functional disorders: breathing difficulties due to deviated nasal septum.
Congenital defects or trauma consequences.
Patient’s desire to harmonize facial features.

Contraindications for Surgery

Acute infectious diseases.
Exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Rhinoplasty Surgery

Pre-operative preparation:

Initial consultation and determination of surgical goals.
Diagnostic procedures (blood tests, nasal X-rays).
Cessation of smoking, alcohol, and certain medications 2 weeks before surgery.
Result planning using 3D modeling.

Surgical procedure:

Duration: 1.5–3 hours under general anesthesia.
Making incisions according to the chosen technique.
Reconstruction of cartilage, bone structures, or nasal septum.
Completion of surgery with suturing and fixation bandage application.

Rhinoplasty + Septoplasty:

Rhinoplasty corrects the external appearance of the nose, while septoplasty eliminates nasal septum deviation.
The combination of procedures ensures not only aesthetic results but also improved breathing.
Difference: rhinoplasty is an aesthetic surgery, septoplasty is functional.

Recovery:

First week: fixation bandage, reduction of swelling and bruising.
After 2 weeks: return to light physical activities.
Complete results: after 3–6 months when tissues fully heal.
Recommendations: avoid physical exertion, overheating, and nose trauma.
