Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures, as the nose plays a decisive role in the overall harmony of the face. However, many patients undergo rhinoplasty to cope with breathing problems due to a deformity in the diaphragm – also known as nasal diaphragm scoliosis.
With a functional rhinoplasty, both the improvement of the appearance and the restoration of proper respiratory function is achieved. The result is a more balanced look, better oxygenation, less snoring and relief than the need to use decongestant nose.
Reconstructive rhinoplasty- How a damaged nose is restored
Rhinoplasty has evolved significantly in recent decades, but there are cases where an initial surgery has not brought the desired result. In these cases, reconstructive rhinoplasty comes to correct aesthetic or functional problems that arose from previous intervention.
A second surgery at the same point requires extensive experience, as tissues have already undergone changes, with possible adhesions and scars. Often, the use of cartilage or bone grafts to restore the nasal frame is required.
Dr. Athanasios Skouras, Surgeon ENT and president of the Hellenic Rhinoplasty Society, speaks to Nikos Evangelatos and explains everything the patient needs to know before proceeding with such an operation, having first chosen the right doctor.
