Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is divided into three types: nasal breathing improvement surgeries, plastic surgeries, and reconstructive surgeries.

Nasal breathing improvement surgeries: include septum surgery, turbinate surgery, and surgeries to correct the external structure due to collapse of one or both nasal walls.

• From the perspective of insurance companies and health funds, surgeries to correct the external structure are in the category of plastic surgery, so their participation in the financing of such surgeries cannot be requested. Plastic nasal surgery: surgeries performed to improve the external appearance of the nose, in the bones and cartilage. There are two main approaches to these surgeries – closed approach and open approach, the doctor will choose to operate in one of these approaches based on his experience and knowledge of the surgical technique.

Reconstructive surgery: is necessary following an injury or after partial resection of the nose due to tumors of various types.

Nasal breathing improvement surgery

• This type of surgery is performed to improve nasal breathing. It is often done to treat problems such as a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or collapse of the nasal walls.
• The surgery can be done through an open or closed approach. The open approach is more invasive, but it allows the surgeon to have a better view of the nasal cavity.
• The closed approach is less invasive, but it may not be as effective for all types of problems.

Plastic nasal surgery

• This type of surgery is performed to improve the appearance of the nose. It can be done to change the size, shape, or structure of the nose.
• The surgery can be done through an open or closed approach. The open approach is more invasive, but it allows the surgeon to have a better view of the nose.
• The closed approach is less invasive, but it may not be as effective for all types of changes.

Reconstructive nasal surgery

• This type of surgery is performed to repair the nose after an injury or surgery. It can be done to restore the nose to its original appearance or to improve its function.
• The surgery can be done through an open or closed approach. The open approach is more invasive, but it allows the surgeon to have a better view of the nose.
• The closed approach is less invasive, but it may not be as effective for all types of repairs.
