What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty (Greek: ) also known as nose surgery or nose job, is one of the most common aesthetic facial plastic surgical procedures. It is often the most requested procedure for women and men who feel self conscious about their nose size or shape. For some individuals, the nose is the focal point of their face, giving them a harsher feminine appearance and for others the nose may be enlarged due to injuries or genetic defects. The goal of cyprus rhinoplasty is to alter the size, shape or tip of the nose to create more balance and proportion with the other facial features.

Rhinoplastics is a highly skilled art form and it is important to have an experienced surgeon. Dr Economou is very discerning in his evaluation of patients for cosmetic nose surgery. He carefully assesses the patient’s expectations, explains the procedure and makes suggestions for achieving the desired result. He performs both closed and open cyprus rhinoplasty and is meticulous in his work, closing incisions and paying attention to detail.

In general a patient will be able to return home within 4-5 hours after their operation feeling quite comfortable and free of pain. There will be a little swelling and bruising, especially around the eyes but this can be minimised with cold compresses. It is important to avoid strenuous exercise, sports and sun exposure during the recovery period. The final results from a cyprus rhinoplasty will take several months, and sometimes up to a year, to fully become apparent. cyprus rhinoplasty
