Cosmetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty)

Cosmetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty)

What kind of surgery is this?

· Spreader graft, Columellar strut graft, Cantilever graft, Sheen shield graft, Alar batten graft, Alar strut graft or simply Graft techniques are the latest surgical techniques for nose surgery.

The classic reduction (rhinoplasty) cuts out and removes a part of the nose bone and cartilage, very often causing a long-term esthetic or functioning problem. Therefore, a new intervention, an additional nose surgery, is often required.

Graft technique cuts out, sculpts and returns the part of the nose bone or cartilage. The removed tissue is sculpted in a special way and, as a graft, brings the nose to the desired shape.

The result of graft technique is a long-term, excellent and natural nose in the desired shape. As not any part of the tissue is removed, chances of developing esthetic or functioning problems are minimal.

What is preparation for the surgery?

Before scheduling your surgery, you are supposed to do the following analyses and bring your results with you:

Blood type - We need a document where your blood type is stated. The surname in the document MUST be the same as the surname in your ID.
Laboratory analyses (not older than two weeks):
- Complete blood count - erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron, sedimentation
- Biochemical parameters - urea, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, transaminases (AST and ALT), electrolytes (potassium, sodium chlorides)
- Coagulation parameters - APTT, prothrombin time and INR
- Urine sediment

The most common reason for canceling the planned surgery is a bad result of some of these analyses.

For this reason, we insist that you do these laboratory analyses and send them to us before coming to the surgery.
