Rhinoplasty – Restoring Nasal Functionality and Achieving Natural Aesthetic Results

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries because the nose plays a crucial role in facial harmony. However, many patients undergo rhinoplasty to address breathing issues caused by deformities in the nasal septum, such as the well-known deviated septum. With functional rhinoplasty, both aesthetic improvement and restoration of proper respiratory function can be achieved. The result is a more balanced appearance, better oxygenation, reduced snoring, and relief from the need for nasal decongestants. In recent decades, rhinoplasty has significantly evolved, but there are cases where an initial surgery did not yield the desired results. In these situations, revision rhinoplasty corrects aesthetic or functional problems that arose from previous interventions. A second procedure requires extensive experience due to tissue changes, possible fusions, and scars. Often, cartilage or bone grafts are necessary to reconstruct the nasal skeleton. Dr. Athanasios Skouras, ENT Surgeon and President of the Hellenic Society of Functional Rhinoplasty, spoke with Nikos Evangelatos and explained everything patients should know before proceeding with such an intervention, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right doctor.
