Rhinoplasty – Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Procedure

Rhinoplasty (from Greek , meaning nose + , meaning to shape) is an aesthetic plastic surgery procedure which can be performed for both functional or cosmetic reasons. This is one of the most commonly performed facial plastic surgical procedures in Cyprus and it can dramatically improve the proportions of the face by removing or narrowing the width, reshaping or straightening the nose and improving the harmony of the overall face.

Aesthetic rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and usually requires overnight hospital stay, though this can occasionally be done on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. The surgery typically takes between 50 minutes to 1 hour to perform and is a safe and relatively painless procedure.

Immediately after rhinoplasty you will have some swelling and bruising, however this should go down within the first few days. It is important to avoid blowing your nose and vigorous activity, especially for the first week after rhinoplasty cyprus. After the first week you can resume normal activities, though we recommend that you use sun cream and a hat to protect your nose from the sun as it will be sensitive.

Rhinoplasty cyprus results will not be apparent immediately as the nose will have severe swelling but it should begin to reshape in the first few weeks and will reach its final form in about a year. It is important that patients follow the advice given by their surgeon regarding recovery time and aftercare to ensure the best possible result. rhinoplasty cyprus
