Our very highly skilled plastic surgeon regularly perform septum correction as the norm.
Nose Job or Rhinoplasty is a procedure designed to provide a more proportionate and “in balance” nose shape about other facial features. See NHS for more details
A nose job can improve both frontal and side profiles. At the same time, this procedure can be combined with repairs/correction to the septum. Many plastic surgeons do not offer septum repairs, as they deem it a job for an ENT specialist. Our surgeons regularly perform septoplasty as the norm.
To understand what can be achieved surgically, it is necessary to have an understanding of the basic anatomy of the nose.
The bony part of the nose (the upper third, nearest to the forehead) is much like the sloping roof of a house. There are two bony sides and a central vertical sheet called the septum (made up of bone and cartilage). The tip of the nose is largely cartilage.
These components exist in a complex arrangement which maintains the integrity of the structure and allows the nostrils to flare during intaking breath without collapsing.

Procedure
Surgical approaches to nose job come into two categories.
1) Internal nose job involves making all incisions inside the nasal cavity.
2) The external or “open” technique. This involves a skin incision across the base of the nasal columella.
Our clinic was recently awarded the prestigious German ISO 9001 quality certificate. |
Rhinoplasty Surgery in Prague An external incision allows the surgeon to expose the bone and cartilage more fully and is most often used for complicated procedures.
During rhinoplasty Surgery: Your surgeon will separate the skin from the bone and cartilage support. The framework of the nose is then reshaped in the desire
The shape can be altered by removing bone, cartilage, or skin. The remaining skin is then replaced over the new framework. If the procedure requires adding to the structure of the nose, the donated bone, cartilage, or skin can come from the patient or a synthetic source.
When the operation is concluded the surgeon will apply a splint to support the nose bones in maintaining its new shape. The nose may also be packed or stuffed with a dressing, to help stabilize the septum.
What does the Rhinoplasty Nose Job Procedure Involves
When a local anesthetic is used light sedation is usually given first, after which the operative area is numbed. It will remain insensitive to pain for the length of the rhinoplasty surgery. A general anesthetic is used for lengthy or complex procedures or if the doctor and patient agree that it is the best option.
There are two categories; soft and hard nose. Soft nose involves working in the region of the nose tip, with a small amount of bridge reshaping, through filing down the bone. Hard nose involves fracturing the bone and more substantial reshaping. Both procedures are performed under a general anaesthetic.
During this highly delicate and intricate operation incisions are made, and hidden inside the nostrils. The only exception being, where the surgeon needs to reduce “flared” nostrils. This involves a tiny external incision which usually fades within a few days Post-op. Post-op, the most important single issue is to wear the provided plaster cast for around 12 days.
When a local anaesthetic is used light sedation is usually given first, after which, the operative area is numbed. It will remain insensitive to pain for the length of the rhinoplasty surgery.
A general anaesthetic is used for lengthy or complex procedures or if the doctor and patient agree that it is the best option.
The simple nose job is usually performed in an outpatient surgery centre or the surgeon’s office. Most procedures take only an hour or two, and patients go home right away. Complex procedures may be done in the hospital and require a short stay.
Rhinoplasty Nose Job Surgery Aftercare
A nasal splint is normally worn for the first week after nose job operation. You can expect swelling and some bruising around the eyes after surgery which will begin to improve after the third day but lasts up to two weeks.
After that, you will have a minor degree of swelling noticed only by you and your surgeon. This swelling will go away over the next six months. The final shape of your nose will be apparent after it has healed completely.
You should avoid strenuous activity for three to four weeks after surgery. You may return to your social activities in as soon as two to three weeks without any recognizable appearance that you had surgery.
Nose Job Surgery Risks
You can reduce your risks by closely following advices mentioned above both before and after surgery.
When a nose job rhinoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities, and the outcome is never completely predictable.
Complications that can occur include haematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon) sensation disturbances,(usually temporary), infection uneven contour, pigmentation changes and reaction to the anaesthetic. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers. You can reduce your risks by closely following advice mentioned above both before and after surgery.
When the nose is reshaped or repaired from inside, the scars are not visible, but if the surgeon needs to make the incision on the outside of the nose, there will be some slight scarring. Also, tiny blood vessels may burst, leaving small red spots on the skin. Although these spots are barely visible they may be permanent. It should be considered that a surgeon is unable to chisel out a precise nose shape according to the patient’s wishes. Images can be used as a guide, but it does not mean he can copy it. Often patients express initial disappointment, unfortunately overlooking the fact it takes 6 months before final results become apparent.
