Rhinoseptoplasty

Rhinoseptoplasty is a combined surgical procedure that enhances the external appearance of the nose while correcting internal structural issues such as a deviated septum. This approach is ideal for patients who want both aesthetic refinements—like reshaping the bridge, tip, or nostrils—and functional improvement to address breathing difficulties. At Silur Clinic in Tirana, Albania, our expert surgeons use a precise and personalized approach to ensure natural, balanced, and long-lasting results that improve both facial harmony and quality of life.

Techniques

At Silur Clinic, rhinoseptoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours. Depending on the complexity of the case, our surgeons may choose open rhinoseptoplasty, which involves a small incision at the base of the nose for complete visibility and accurate correction, or closed rhinoseptoplasty, where all incisions remain inside the nostrils for a scar-free exterior. During the procedure, the surgeon reshapes the nasal structure for aesthetic enhancement while straightening or reconstructing the septum to improve airflow. Techniques may include cartilage grafting, tip refinement, narrowing the nasal bones, and correcting any internal obstructions. Each plan is tailored to achieve both functional and cosmetic goals in one procedure.

Care After Rhinoplasty Surgery

Recovery is essential to achieving both optimal breathing and beautiful results. Patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and nasal congestion during the first week. A splint is typically worn for 7 days, and internal silicone stents may be used to support the septum for 5–7 days when needed. Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Breathing usually improves progressively as internal swelling decreases, and aesthetic results continue refining over the following months. At Silur Clinic, we offer detailed aftercare instructions and continuous postoperative support to ensure a smooth healing process, improved nasal function, and naturally balanced results.
