Rhinoplasty — Harmony of Breathing and Beauty

Rhinoplasty is one of the most sought-after and subtle aesthetic procedures because the nose affects not only appearance but the balance of the entire face. At Dr Maja Simić's practice, rhinoplasty is performed with special attention to proportion, breathing function, and the individuality of each patient.
The goal is not to "change" the nose, but to make it part of the harmony — natural, in balance with the rest of the face and personal character.


What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is a surgical procedure that corrects the shape, size, and proportion of the nose while preserving or improving its function.
It can be performed as:

  • Aesthetic rhinoplasty — for appearance
  • Functional rhinoplasty — for breathing
  • Combined rhinoplasty — addressing both approaches

Modern techniques allow precise and subtle changes:

  • lifting the tip
  • narrowing the width
  • straightening a hump or asymmetry
  • reconstruction after injury or previous surgery

Candidates for the procedure

Rhinoplasty is suitable for individuals who wish to:

  • reduce, refine, or straighten the nose in harmony with the face
  • correct a drooping or wide nasal tip
  • straighten a deviated septum and improve breathing
  • restore facial proportion and symmetry after injury

It is essential that the patient has realistic expectations and understands that the goal is harmony, not uniformity — each nose must suit the unique features of the face.


How does the surgery work?

Rhinoplasty is most commonly performed under general anaesthesia, lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, and the approach may be open or closed, depending on anatomy and the corrections required.

During the procedure:

  • cartilage and bone of the nose are reshaped
  • structure is preserved for a natural appearance and proper breathing

At the end, a light tampon and external protective splint are applied, which are removed after 5–7 days.


Recovery

  • Return to daily activities: 7–10 days
  • Mild swelling and bruising: expected in the first week, gradually subsiding
  • Final result: develops over several months, as tissue fully heals and the nose gains its stable form

Results

A well-performed rhinoplasty does not change the face — it refines it.
The result is a nose that looks natural, elegant, and in harmony with your expression, with improved breathing and ease of expression.


💬 Philosophy of treatment

"Rhinoplasty is not just shaping the nose, but harmony between function, proportion and expression.
When the nose becomes part of facial harmony, it is not noticed — it enhances the beauty of the gaze and smile."
