Rhinoplasty: Everything you need to know before nose surgery

Rhinoplasty is one of the most requested cosmetic surgery procedures worldwide. It improves the appearance of the nose and can also correct functional problems such as breathing difficulties. At Luxora Group, we consider rhinoplasty a precision surgery where facial harmony and natural-looking results are paramount.

What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to modify the shape, size, or structure of the nose. It may be performed for the following reasons:

  • Aesthetic: nasal hump, wide nose, drooping tip, asymmetry

  • Functional: deviated septum, breathing difficulties

  • Post-traumatic: following a blow or fracture of the nose

Every nose is unique, which is why a personalized consultation is essential before the operation.

The different types of rhinoplasty

Natural Rhinoplasty

Ideal for patients seeking a subtle and harmonious result, without excessive transformation. The nose remains in harmony with the facial features.

Barbie Nose Rhinoplasty

Highly sought after, particularly by women, this technique aims for a thinner, slightly upturned nose with a delicate tip, while maintaining an elegant and proportionate appearance.

Functional Rhinoplasty

This combines aesthetic improvement with the correction of breathing problems for greater comfort in daily life.

What happens during the procedure?

  • Duration of the operation: between 2 and 3 hours

  • Type of anesthesia: general anesthesia

  • Hospital stay: usually one night at the clinic

The procedure is performed by expert surgeons using modern techniques to minimize scarring and optimize recovery.

The Recovery Period After Rhinoplasty

After the operation:

A nasal splint is worn for approximately 7 days.

Bruising and swelling may occur, especially around the eyes.

Light activities can be resumed after 7 to 10 days.

The initial results are visible quickly, but the final result appears gradually over several months, once the tissues have stabilized.
