Rhinoplasty
Nose correction for women and men

MADRID | ZURICH

Rhinoplasty is performed for both aesthetic and functional reasons, although in most cases both are combined. The nose surgery can range from a small tip touch-up to a complete nasal reconstruction.

The anatomical configuration of the nose and the delicacy and subtle divergences in the design of the bones, cartilage and soft tissues. guarantee that each case is unique and requires a personalised study. Rhinoplasty mainly solves aesthetic defects of the nose together with an improvement of the respiratory function and can be combined with other surgeries such as septoplasty, blepharoplasty, mentoplasty, etc.

This intervention can be performed as a single procedure or in combination with various facial and body interventions. The preoperative sessions are based on an analysis to plan aesthetic harmony and bone architecture, as well as gender and facial proportions.

For an optimal and natural aesthetic result it is essential to interpret the shape and architecture of the nose together with the whole face.

Types of rhinoplasty

What type of rhinoplasty is right for each patient?

The subject, the physiognomy of the cartilage, the type of dermis and the prevailing functional deficiencies are fundamental elements in opting for the most suitable rhinoplasty procedure for each patient. At Dr. Richard Fakin's clinics, we analyse the exact indications for each case and propose the most suitable technique, whether open or closed rhinoplasty, depending on whether other collateral interventions (e.g. on the septum) are necessary.

We also analyse whether we need to opt for a cartilage graft of our own (autograft) or a third-party graft (not our own).

Surgical Technique

How is rhinoplasty surgery performed?

Rhinoplasty is performed in most cases under general anaesthesia supplemented with local infiltration to increase postoperative comfort. Depending on the type of permanent rhinoplasty the approach adopted is the latest generation L-postion.

The splint is removed 10 days after the operation.
