Rhinoplasty (Full Nose Reshaping)

Surgery to reshape the nose, altering the bridge, tip or overall proportions to bring the nose into better balance with the rest of the face, and to correct shapes resulting from injury or congenital differences. At the Aleksandra clinic Dr Sidorowicz plans rhinoplasty around each patient's anatomy and goals. Pricing reflects the scope of the work, and the quote covers post-operative care.

Full rhinoplasty reshapes the bony and cartilaginous framework of the nose to refine the bridge, narrow or define the tip, adjust the nostrils, and improve the way the nose sits in proportion to the eyes, lips and chin. It is also used to correct deformities following trauma or present from birth. The surgeon works through incisions placed inside the nostrils, sometimes with a small hidden incision across the columella, to access and remodel the underlying structures — reducing a hump, repositioning cartilage or grafting where extra support or shape is needed. At the Aleksandra clinic the operation generally takes two to three hours and is followed by a period with a splint and internal support, which are removed after about a week. Bruising and swelling around the nose and eyes are normal in the first one to two weeks; the major swelling subsides over the following weeks, while the finer definition of the tip continues to refine for many months as the tissues settle. Because the nose is central to facial appearance and breathing, thorough planning matters: Dr Sidorowicz assesses the existing structure, skin thickness and the patient's wishes, explains what the technique can and cannot change, and sets realistic expectations. The procedure suits adults whose facial growth is complete and who are bothered by the size, shape or proportions of the nose, or who need correction after injury.
