Dieffenbach rhinoplasty is a nose reshaping surgery that is used to reduce and correct various deformities or asymmetries, as well as to correct large nostrils. This operation got its name in honor of the French physician Jean-Francois Dieffenbar, who was the first to describe this method of operation in 1801. Rhinoplasty began to be performed in ancient times in Egypt, India and China. For a long time, this operation was popular in Abyssinia, where it was necessary to correct the huge nostrils, which served as a way to take in air for breathing. In Europe, this procedure first appeared in the 16th century in Paris.
In modern surgery, this operation is one of the most popular and safest. It can be performed either openly or using the endoscopic method. In both cases, during surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision in the skin to gain access to the lining of the nose. It then removes excess skin, cartilage and tissue that interfere with proper breathing and cause defects such as:
- retraction of the nasal septum, - increase in the size of the nose, - strong asymmetry of the shape of the nose, etc.
Modern rhinoplasty techniques make it possible to correct various types of nasal deformities: hump, narrow nose, tip shape, curvature, etc. This procedure also helps to correct the size of the wings of the nose and remove the ridge of the nasal septum. Modern technology of rhinoplasty operations allows you to achieve good results and make your nose beautiful and healthy.
