The ideal candidate

Primary rhinoplasty is suitable for people who want to improve the aesthetic and/or functional appearance of the nose, without having previously undergone nasal surgery. This procedure is intended for those who want a reshaping of the nasal pyramid for a harmonious contour and optimal breathing.

  • People with congenital or acquired nasal deformities
  • Patients with breathing difficulties caused by nasal deviations
  • People with realistic expectations regarding the aesthetic result
  • Adults with complete facial development
  • Patients without medical conditions that contraindicate the procedure

The technique

The primary rhinoplasty procedure consists of reshaping the bony and cartilaginous structures of the nose in order to correct its form and function. The surgeon makes discreet incisions, either on the inside of the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or also on the columella (open rhinoplasty), in order to access and shape the tissues. The operation may include correction of septal deviations, reduction of the nasal hump or modification of the nasal tip, depending on the patient’s needs.

Anesthesia and duration

Primary rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia, for the patient’s maximum comfort. The duration of the procedure varies between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the necessary modifications.

Recovery

The first few days

Rest and avoidance of intense physical effort are recommended; swelling and bruising are commonly present, with moderate discomfort that can be controlled with medication.

The first week

The nasal splint and sutures are removed, and the patient can resume light activities; the swelling begins to noticeably decrease.

The first month

The swelling continues to reduce, and the nose gradually takes on a more natural shape; avoidance of trauma and prolonged sun exposure is recommended.

The final results can be fully observed after approximately 6-12 months, when all the tissues have healed and stabilised.

Risks and safety

  • Prolonged swelling and bruising
  • Postoperative infection
  • Asymmetry or aesthetic imperfections
  • Temporary breathing difficulties
  • Reactions to anesthesia

The risks are minimised through careful preoperative evaluation, precise surgical techniques and rigorous postoperative monitoring.
