Rhinoplasty is one of the most frequent surgeries performed by men and women to achieve facial harmonization. However, according to Dr. Maximilian Alea, an otorhinolaryngologist specializing in aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty at Vithas Xanit International Hospital, this facial improvement has a functional pillar that is nasal ventilation.

The surgeon is also responsible for the rhinoplasty and functional aesthetics unit of the Vithas Xanit International Hospital, a service that has the most avant-garde techniques for this type of procedures, including ultrasonic and preservation techniques, "selecting the most suitable one depending on the patient's case, and it can also be performed a combination of both techniques or the application of conventional techniques".

Regarding the different techniques, the specialist clarifies that "ultrasonic rhinoplasty consists in performing resection of the nasal giba (deformity) of the back and cuts in the bone in a controlled manner through the use of piezoelectric scalpel, presenting this technique greater precision when operating and less inflammation in the postoperative period, while in the preservation technique (preservation rhinoplasty), nasal structures, cartilage, skin and bone are fully respected, generating natural results with a minimal procedure

Patient profile

Although this is an intervention involving both men and women, the head of the aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty unit at Vithas Xanit International Hospital, notes that "the profile is usually a young woman between the ages of 17 and 40".

The doctor explains that "the person who has a rhinoplasty is a patient who has made a decision after having considered it for a while and having previously and conscientiously informed about the site and the professional who wants the surgery." "patients often opt for a centre and a team of professionals who transmit safety, confidence and offer cutting-edge techniques," she said.

"in our unit we have extensive training in this type of interventions, being also members of the European Academy of facial Plastic surgery (EAFPS) and of the European Rinology and the Spanish of Otorhinolaryngology," he says.

Regarding the intervention, the head of the unit reports that rhinoseptoplasty (aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty) is a surgery performed under general anesthesia and that, depending on the case, it can be of an outpatient nature (leaving the patient the same day at home), or requiring one day of hospital admission, with mild postoperative discomfort.
