Anesthesia
General anesthesia
Result
Final shape visible at 6-12 months; permanent result
Overview
Rhinoplasty is one of the most-requested facial aesthetic surgeries in Bucharest and across Romania. Dr. Mubariz Mammadli treats every case as an individual plan: changes to the nasal pyramid must preserve breathing and integrate harmoniously with the rest of the face.
The technique (open or closed rhinoplasty, preservation rhinoplasty, ultrasonic rhinoplasty) is decided at consultation based on the patient's bone and cartilage structure, skin thickness and desired outcome. The goal is always a natural nose that does not look operated on.
Who it is for

Frequently asked questions
How much does rhinoplasty cost in Bucharest?
The price varies depending on case complexity and chosen technique. The exact price is provided after consultation and includes the procedure, hospitalization and follow-up visits.
What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty uses only intranasal incisions with no visible scars. Open rhinoplasty adds a small incision at the base of the columella for direct access, recommended in complex cases or revisions.
How long does recovery take after rhinoplasty?
Return to sedentary activity is possible in 7-10 days. Visible bruising and swelling resolve in 2-3 weeks. The final shape stabilizes at 6-12 months.
Can a deviated septum be corrected in the same surgery?
Yes. Septorhinoplasty combines aesthetic correction of the nasal pyramid with functional correction of the deviated septum in a single procedure.
Is the result permanent?
Yes. The bone and cartilage changes made during rhinoplasty are permanent. Natural aging continues, but the new shape remains stable long term.
