Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Aesthetic and Functional Surgery for the Nose
Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic procedure aimed at satisfying aesthetic criteria while also having a practical use, improving and facilitating the function of the respiratory system.
Rhinoplasty can have both augmentative and corrective effects, depending on the specific issue that the surgeon addresses. The main goal of this procedure is to shape the nose to harmonize with the rest of the facial features, enhancing the overall aesthetic appearance.
Candidates for rhinoplasty must be over the age of 18 to ensure that their development is complete, allowing the results of the procedure to be permanent. If a patient undergoes the procedure before their development is fully complete, the shape of their nose may change further as they grow, which could alter the results of the surgery.
This surgical process is carried out under general anesthesia, and the surgeon must have a thorough understanding of the facial anatomy for each patient, as even a millimeter of error can lead to unexpected outcomes.
Dr. Anastasia Daniil-Seferi's experience, along with her successful surgeries, provides tangible evidence of the stability and professionalism in her work. She has dealt with a range of unique and serious cases, all of which not only resulted in success but also improved the patient's self-esteem.

Rhinoplasty with Septoplasty
The septum is the cartilage that divides the nose into two sections. Dysfunction or deformity of the septum is a significant cause of nasal deformities and often causes breathing difficulties. Since the septum consists of cartilage, it can be "borrowed" for use in various surgical procedures.
If the patient's issue is a deviated septum, an incision is made inside the nostrils, right above the septum. The cartilage is separated from the mucosa using specialized techniques by the surgeon, and the septum is detached from the bone and repositioned correctly. However, this process is not always straightforward, and specialized maneuvers may be required.
In some cases, septoplasty may be performed in combination with rhinoplasty to address both cosmetic and functional issues.
The patient undergoes general anesthesia or local anesthesia, depending on the case. Some patients may feel more comfortable with local anesthesia because it allows them to remain conscious during the procedure.
At the end of the surgery, the surgeon closes the incisions with absorbable sutures, applies a dressing for better hemostasis, stability, and healing during recovery.
Nose Lifting (Rhinoplasty)
Nose lifting is a particularly advanced method, as it has a shorter recovery time compared to other rhinoplasty methods. It can be performed using microfibers.
For successful results in nose lifting, a tiny hole is made to access the area of the nose known as the columella. The surgeon stabilizes the nasal tip onto the bone, and then a small transmitter is placed at the lower edge of the nose.
This is a percutaneous procedure that is painless, safe, and does not require hospitalization or a long recovery period at home.
Nose Revision (Rhinoplasty)
Nose revision surgery is a procedure aimed at correcting the negative results of a previous nose surgery. It is more complex than other types of rhinoplasty and should be performed by experienced surgeons who are familiar with the precise techniques required to achieve a positive outcome.
The revision can focus on a specific area of the nose or the entire nose if the problem is significant. In cases where the previous surgery has caused breathing problems, collaboration between a plastic surgeon and an ENT specialist may be necessary.
When grafts are required, they can come from the patient's own body or be made of synthetic materials. Most surgeons prefer to use grafts taken from the patient's own body (usually cartilage from the ears) because foreign grafts may not be accepted by the body.
