Rhinoplasty (nose job)

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at changing the shape, size, and structure of the nose. The procedure helps improve facial aesthetics, correct congenital or acquired deformities, and restore proper nasal breathing.

When is rhinoplasty required?

• Dissatisfaction with the shape or size of the nose.
• Presence of a nasal hump, wide nasal bridge, or irregular contours.
• Congenital or post-traumatic nasal deformities.
• Breathing difficulties caused by a deviated nasal septum.
• Facial asymmetry following nasal injuries.

How is the surgery performed?

1. Surgeon consultation – computer simulation is performed and the desired outcome is defined.
2. Anesthesia – local or general anesthesia is used, depending on the scope of surgery.
3. Reshaping the nose – the surgeon modifies bone and cartilage structures to achieve the planned contour.
4. Fixation and suturing – cosmetic sutures are applied, and the nose is stabilized with a special splint.
5. Rehabilitation – recovery takes several weeks; the final result becomes apparent within 6–12 months.

Types of rhinoplasty

• Primary (aesthetic) rhinoplasty – complete reshaping of the nose.
• Septorhinoplasty – correction of nasal shape combined with septal surgery to improve breathing.
• Open rhinoplasty – performed via an external incision for complex cases.
• Closed rhinoplasty – performed through internal incisions without visible scars.
• Endoscopic rhinoplasty – a minimally invasive technique with reduced tissue trauma.

Advantages of rhinoplasty in Belarus

• Creation of a harmonious and balanced facial profile.
• Correction of congenital and acquired nasal deformities.
• Improvement of nasal breathing function.
• Minimal scarring and long-lasting results.

Recovery after rhinoplasty

• Wearing a nasal splint for 7–10 days.
• Restriction of physical activity during the first months.
• Avoidance of trauma and excessive facial movements.
• Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon to monitor healing.

The procedure is performed in leading plastic surgery clinics using modern technologies and minimally invasive techniques, ensuring natural-looking results and safe recovery.
