Rhinoplasty
The nose is the center of facial balance that affects the harmony of the overall appearance as well as respiratory function. A disproportionate shape, size and structure of the nose, whether congenital, due to trauma or post-operative changes, can affect self-confidence and breathing comfort. Rhinoplasty comes as a surgical procedure to reshape the structure of the nose in a measurable way while still paying attention to aspects of facial function and proportion.
What is Rhinoplasty and How is it Approached?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to shape, repair, or reconstruct the nasal structures, including the bones, cartilages, and soft tissues.
At Dahayu, rhinoplasty is performed with a holistic and personalized approach, taking into account the overall facial anatomy, internal nasal structure and functional needs of the patient. All procedures are performed by specialized plastic surgeons in a RSIA Puri Bunda Denpasar facility with strict hospital standards.
Who Needs Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty may be considered in individuals with the following conditions:
- Nose shape that feels unbalanced with facial proportions
- Nose is too wide, too high, or the tip of the nose is poorly defined
- Congenital nose structure abnormalities
- History of nasal injury or trauma
- Respiratory distress due to abnormalities in the internal structure of the nose
- Dissatisfaction with the results of previous nose jobs
Nose Structure Reconstruction
Realignment of bone and cartilage to provide firm support and a more stable shape.
Procedures that can be performed in blepharoplasty
Rhinoplasty at Dahayu includes both aesthetic and structural approaches, which can be combined according to anatomical needs and goals.
- Aesthetic Rhinoplasty
Aimed at improving the shape and proportion of the nose to harmonize with the face as a whole. In aesthetic rhinoplasty, actions may include:
- Nose Bar Correction
Adjustment of the height, width, or straightness of the bridge of the nose to create a more balanced silhouette.
- Nose Tip Correction (Tip Refinement)
Shaping the tip of the nose to make it look more proportional, neat, and fit the character of the face.
- Use of Septal Cartilage Graft
Using cartilage from inside the nose for mild to moderate correction, especially of the nasal tip structure.
- Use of Ear Cartilage Graft
Used when additional tissue is required for nose tip shaping, while maintaining the shape of the ear.
- Use of Rib Cartilage Graft
Selected in cases that require stronger structural support, such as noses with limited tissue support or revision surgery.
2. Structural & Reconstructive Rhinoplasty
It is performed to correct nasal structures that have problems due to congenital abnormalities, trauma or previous surgery, and to maintain long-term function and stability.
- Septum Correction (Septoplasty)
Rearrangement of the nasal passages to help improve respiratory flow.
How is the Procedure Performed?
- Consultation and evaluation of facial anatomy and nasal structure
- Individualized action planning
- The procedure is performed with open or closed rhinoplasty techniques, according to medical needs
- Actions performed under general anesthesia
- Incisions are strategically placed to maintain a neat result
- Precision bone and cartilage reshaping performed
Security and Risk
Rhinoplasty is a safe surgery when performed by a plastic surgeon with adequate hospital facilities.
Risks include swelling, bruising, minor bleeding, infection, or mild asymmetry, which are generally temporary and can be managed through proper medical monitoring.
Expected Results
- Nose shape is more balanced with facial proportions
