Rhinoplasty: Painless and permanent restoration!
What is rhinoplasty and for what purposes is it used?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure with which we manage to modify and improve the shape, dimensions and generally the external appearance of the nose, thus making it harmonious with the rest of the facial features. Specifically, with the “closed” rhinoplasty method, the incisions are made internally, without being visible. However, in addition to the aesthetic restoration of the nose, it is often necessary to correct its function. In the same procedure, we also surgically straighten the nasal septum, shrink the hypertrophic nasal conchae and remove possible nasal polyps. In this way, an aesthetic result is achieved, as well as maximum breathing!
Who is it for and what are the symptoms?
Rhinoplasty concerns people who wish to correct the aesthetic and functional problems of their nose. The ideal age is considered to be when the candidate has reached the age of 18 so that their development has been completed. There is no upper age limit. Very often, people aged 60 and over wish to correct mainly nasal breathing problems and combine them with aesthetic improvement.
The symptoms that usually occur vary from person to person. In most cases, difficulty breathing through the nose, recurrent allergic rhinitis, snoring and many apneas during sleep are observed. This results in people suffering from these symptoms not getting any rest at all and not having adequate performance in their daily lives.
Is it important to have organized hospital structures?
Of course! This type of surgery requires specialization and modern hospital equipment. At the P. Faliro Medical Center, we use state-of-the-art and state-of-the-art equipment for the closed rhinoplasty method. The combination of our specialization and many years of experience, with a large number of successful operations, has established the clinic as a pioneer in the above field. By following, on a daily basis, the latest global developments and with our knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment, we are able to offer the minimally invasive and atraumatic solution for each case. Especially with the method of “closed” rhinoplasty and the use of the Navigation system, we offer the patient an extremely safe, immediate and painless operation. Of course, all these operations are performed completely painlessly and at a very affordable cost for the patient!
How do I choose the right surgeon, so that I can be cured, definitively?
A successful rhinoplasty can only be based on the hands of an experienced and specialized surgeon. Particular emphasis should be placed on the surgical technique followed, as this is what will play a primary role in the rapid recovery and definitive repair of the problem. Therefore, if he is very familiar with this subject and has a very good image of experience and qualifications, it is worth consulting him!
Do not forget, at the appointment with the doctor there should be excellent communication and all your expectations and possible concerns should be expressed. Through this discussion, the doctor will inform you with complete objectivity as each person is unique and wants the appropriate aesthetic interventions that suit them.
So, dedicate some of your time and with the right criteria proceed to choose the right surgeon, always aiming for the best!
