Combined Functional and Aesthetic Rhinoplasty (Rhinoplasty)
Combined functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to address both medical and cosmetic concerns related to the structure of the nose. The surgery focuses on improving nasal airflow and breathing function while also reshaping or refining the nose’s appearance — all while maintaining natural and harmonious facial proportions.
This procedure is suitable for individuals with breathing difficulties, congenital nasal abnormalities, or those seeking aesthetic enhancement of their nasal features.
What Is the Goal of the surgeries
The goal is to provide a comprehensive solution that integrates functional correction with aesthetic refinement. Specifically, the surgery aims to:
Improve Nasal Function:
Address issues such as a deviated septum, nasal airway obstructions, or congenital defects that hinder normal breathing.
Repair Structural Damage:
Restore nasal integrity following trauma, accidents, or previous surgeries.
Enhance Aesthetic Appearance:
Adjust the shape, size, or angle of the nose to create a more balanced and harmonious look.
Benefits of the surgeries
Improved Breathing:
Resolution of chronic nasal obstruction or septal deviation.
Refined Aesthetics:
A more symmetrical and natural appearance tailored to the individual’s facial structure.
Comprehensive Results:
A unique combination of functional correction and aesthetic outcome in a single surgical approach
Who Is a Candidate?
This procedure is ideal for individuals who:
Experience breathing issues due to structural or congenital abnormalities.
Have a deviated septum or narrowed nasal passages.
Seek to enhance the shape, size, or profile of their nose for aesthetic reasons.
Each surgical plan is customized based on the patient’s medical condition, aesthetic preferences, and personal expectations, ensuring optimal results in both form and function.
Surgical Process
The surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the patient’s medical condition and preference:
Surgical Approach:
Closed technique: Performed entirely through the nostrils with no external incisions.
Open technique: Involves a small incision at the base of the nose for broader access and precision.
Functional Correction:
Straightening the septum, opening blocked nasal passages, or removing structural obstructions.
Aesthetic Reshaping:
Refining the nose’s size, shape, or angle to enhance facial balance.
Closure and Dressing:
Gentle suturing and application of nasal dressings to support healing.
Recovery and Results
Recovery Time:
Most patients experience initial improvement within 2–3 weeks.
Swelling and Bruising:
Gradually subside over the first month. Final results typically appear after several months.
Follow-Up Care:
Includes regular check-ups to monitor progress and ensure proper healing.
