Rhinoplasty Techniques

Preservation Rhinoplasty (Piezo Rhinoplasty)

An ultra-advanced version of the Rhinoplasty that harnesses the power of a Piezo. A Piezo is an instrument that emits ultrasonic wavelengths directly to the bone to trim and sculpt – without disrupting the nerve endings and causing dramatic trauma. Also known as an ‘ultrasonic Piezo rhinoplasty‘ it works within the nose and offers more accuracy, finesse and faster recovery.

Reduction Rhinoplasty

This surgery aims to reduce the overall size and volume of the nose. Reducing the size of the nose can dramatically improve the proportions and visual harmony of the face. The approach to surgery usually involves reducing the size of the nostrils, and we’ll also resolve irregularities and bumps on the bridge of the nose if necessary.

Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Augmentation rhinoplasty, also known as nose correction surgery, involves altering the nose to improve its shape. This approach would be suitable for patients who feel that their nose lacks definition, length, or has another undesirable shape. It’s also suitable for those with congenital abnormalities. This surgery enhances and augments the nose by using autogenous tissues or a silicone implant. The surgeon may decide to perform bone grafting on the nose to recreate the tip.

Alar Reduction

Alar Reduction (also called an Alarplasty) focuses on the width of the base of the nose and nostrils. During this procedure, the surgeon would narrow the width of the nostril base.

Tip Refinement (Also known as Mini Rhinoplasty)

For aesthetic changes associated with the nasal tip, a tip refinement may be the procedure of preference. A tip refinement surgery works with the lower third of the nose, preserving the rest of the nasal structure. This procedure would be best for those with a large or bulbous nasal tip.

This is an increasingly popular treatment as cultural ideals of beauty have now shifted towards a narrower nose and slightly elevated tip. This is why we have specifically created a Nose Tip lift to target this increasingly demanded type of nose surgery.

Post-Trauma Rhinoplasty

Post-trauma rhinoplasty addresses previous trauma to the nose when its structure has been damaged. An earlier accident may have led to changes in shape or asymmetry. The surgeon will, therefore, rebuild the nose to restore its original appearance as much as possible.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Dr Yannis Alexandrides has extensive experience in reconstructive surgery and in craniofacial reconstructive surgery and has performed multiple corrective operations on patients with severe injuries and congenital abnormalities.

Septorhinoplasty

A septorhinoplasty reshapes your nose and your septum (the cartilage that divides the two nostrils inside the nose). It can alter the appearance of your nose and improve breathing difficulties. This type of surgery addresses both aesthetic and medical concerns.

This type of treatment can also help improve the look of narrow nostrils – known as nostril widening surgery – which can be a solution to both cosmetic and medical concerns. During a nostril widening surgery, Dr Yannis will widen the nasal value and reshape the nostrils into your more desired appearance. Plus, thanks to immense technological advancements, widening the nasal canal is much less intrusive than what it originally was. By using an ultrasonic tool called a Piezo, Dr Yannis will be able to widen the nasal value atraumatically.

Septoplasty

A septoplasty does not address cosmetic concerns, but instead, corrects a deviated septum and improves the nasal passages which can improve breathing and prevent snoring. It’s less invasive than other rhinoplasty approaches when performed on its own, but many patients opt to combine it with other techniques to improve the appearance nose.
