The nose surgery (medically known as rhinoplasty) is a surgical procedure that modifies the external shape and/or function of the nose. It is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries worldwide, although it can also be performed for medical reasons (e.g. to improve breathing). The following is a summary of the most important aspects:

Reasons for rhinoplasty

Aesthetic reasons:

Nasal dorsal hump
Crooked or asymmetrical nose
Nose too large or too small
Wide nostrils or poorly defined nasal tip

Medical reasons:

Nasal septum deviation
Respiratory problems
After-effects of accidents or trauma
Congenital malformations

Types of rhinoplasty

Closed rhinoplasty:
- Incisions are made only inside the nose.
- Non-visible scars
- Shorter recovery time
Open rhinoplasty:
- Columella incision (between the nostrils)
- Improved visibility for the surgeon in more complex cases
3. Functional rhinoplasty:
- Focused on restoring nasal breathing
4. Non-surgical nasal correction (with hyaluronic acid):
- Temporary correction by injections
- Does not require surgery, but is not a permanent solution.

Procedure

Consultation:
Evaluation of the patient's wishes, examination of the nose and, if necessary, simulation of the result.
Preoperative examinations:
Blood tests and, in some cases, tomography (CT).
Surgery:
Duration 1-3 hours, usually under general anesthesia.
Aftercare:
Nasal splint (approx. 1 week), swelling and bruising are common.

Risks and possible complications

Swelling and bruising
Infections
Nasal bleeding
Visible scars (rare)
Asymmetries
Dissatisfaction with the result (possible revision surgery)
Respiratory difficulties (temporary or permanent)

Recovery time

Socially acceptable after 1-2 weeks
Final result visible after 6-12 months
Swelling may last longer, especially at the tip of the nose.
