Facial surgery is one of the most popular procedures in medicine. In addition to correcting functional defects, it is aimed at eliminating aesthetic defects. Rhinoplasty (also plastic surgery or nose correction) is a surgical operation that changes the shape or size of the nose. During surgery, the surgeon removes excess tissue and corrects nasal cartilage and bones. As a result of these manipulations, the shape of the nose and its proportions change.
Why do you need nose correction
The nose, as an organ that provides breathing, air filtration and smell, must function unhindered. But its correct functioning may be hindered by:
- defects due to injuries or congenital pathologies;
- unsuccessful surgical interventions in the past;
- polyps;
- curvature of the septum or cartilage;
- deformation of the nasal concha.
It is these problems that
nose plastic surgery helps to cope with. These medical indications allow it to be performed at any age, especially in severe cases of difficult breathing. However,
nose surgery is recommended from the age of 18, since by this time active growth stops. This increases the guarantee that the result will be long-term.
The operation can also correct such aesthetic defects as:
- Curvature – beak-like, snub-nosed;
- Disproportion to the rest of the face;
- Wide, massive or drooping tip of the nose.
The best age for such surgical intervention is 18-25 years old, because then the ability to recover will not be complicated by age-related changes. But each case is unique, so the decision to perform the operation or not is made by an experienced surgeon at our clinic.
How does rhinoplasty happen
Before asking yourself how much does
rhinoplasty in Kyiv cost, it is worth considering the stages of the procedure and learning about contraindications to this surgical procedure.
Preparation
Before carrying out the correction, a specialist from our clinic conducts an initial consultation with the patient. It examines the anamnesis, and also prescribes additional studies of the condition of his body.
This way the surgeon eliminates contraindications for:
- diabetes mellitus;
- liver and kidney diseases;
- blood clotting disorders;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- oncological problems.
However, after curing some of these problems, rhinoplasty surgery is still possible.
During the consultation, the surgeon and the patient work together to create a desired, but at the same time feasible, result. The patient is usually offered a couple of correction options, with emphasis placed on those that best suit the proportions of the face shape.
Carrying out
In total, there are 2 types of methods in rhinoplasty – closed and open. The choice of one method or another depends on the nature and scope of the desired changes:
- With the closed method, the surgeon makes incisions inside the nose. The operation takes place using an endoscope and special surgical instruments with cameras. The method does not leave marks on the skin and is also less traumatic for nasal tissues. Suitable for most simple interventions.
- In the open version, external incisions are made on the nasal septum. In some cases, additional incisions are required at the base of the nostrils. With this method, major design changes in size and shape are made. Congenital pathologies are corrected this way.
The volume of work performed and the time depend on the medical history and indications, and the price depends on the methodology.

Nose correction must be performed under general anesthesia. In total, the procedure can last 1-2 hours. Upon completion, the doctor inserts tampons and also applies a special shaping bandage to the nose. It maintains the created shape and promotes effective healing.
Recovery
During the first 24 hours after surgery, the patient remains under the close supervision of a surgeon at our clinic in the hospital. The next day, the doctor conducts an examination, changes the bandage and allows the patient to return home. He also provides a list of recommendations needed to maintain results.
At the beginning of the recovery period, some patients may experience headaches and a general feeling of weakness. Swelling in the area around the eyes may persist for 3-5 days.
The bandage is usually removed 5-7 days after surgery. During the rehabilitation period, the patient needs to periodically visit the doctor to change the bandage and monitor the condition. The first changes are noticeable within a month, and the final result is formed within 6-12 months.
