Wide Nostrils
**What does it look like?** A wide nose, with a broad base and flared nostrils. **How is the procedure performed?** Dr. Madjoudj reduces the width and refines the nose for better harmony: 1. **He sculpts and smooths the nasal bridge** to create a more refined profile. 2. **He narrows the nostrils and base** for a slimmer appearance. 3. **If needed, he adds small bone grafts** to strengthen and refine the structure. 4. **He adjusts the proportions** to ensure the nose naturally balances with the rest of the face. **Results:** A slimmer, balanced, and harmonious nose that seamlessly complements your facial features.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the consultation take place?
Pre-operative consultations are conducted exclusively at Dr. Madjoudj's practice by appointment only.
Where are the procedures performed?
What happens if complications occur?
What is rhinoplasty and what issues can it address? Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the nose, whether to improve its appearance, enhance facial harmony, or correct functional problems. It can address concerns such as a prominent dorsal hump, a bulbous tip, a deviated septum, or breathing difficulties. This procedure can also help with congenital defects or injuries affecting the nose.
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic or functional nose surgery designed to enhance appearance and/or improve breathing. It can address a dorsal hump, drooping tip, overly long or wide nose, flared nostrils, or nasal deviation. Dr. Madjoudj focuses on achieving natural-looking, harmonious results that complement each patient's facial features.
How much does a rhinoplasty cost in Algeria?
The cost varies depending on nose type, surgical complexity, and whether septal correction is needed. A personalized quote is provided after your clinical consultation. Our prices remain significantly lower than those in Europe or North America.
What is the difference between cosmetic rhinoplasty and functional rhinoplasty?
Cosmetic rhinoplasty focuses on enhancing the shape of the nose, while functional rhinoplasty addresses breathing issues such as deviated septum or nasal obstruction. Dr. Madjoudj frequently combines both approaches to achieve results that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also improve respiratory function.
Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars?
In most cases, the scars are invisible as they are placed inside the nose. For certain open rhinoplasty procedures, a small incision is made, but it becomes nearly undetectable after a few weeks.
What is the recovery process like after a rhinoplasty? Swelling and bruising around the nose and eyes are common initially, but typically subside within 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to work or daily activities after about 7-10 days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. The nose may feel tender and stuffy for the first few weeks, and full healing takes several months as subtle changes continue. Following your surgeon's aftercare instructions, such as keeping your head elevated, avoiding pressure on the nose, and attending follow-up appointments, is crucial for optimal recovery and results.
A splint is worn for approximately 8 days. Bruising and swelling gradually subside. You may return to work after a few days. The final results become apparent between 6 to 12 months.
Does rhinoplasty affect breathing?
Can we predict the final outcome?
The final outcome depends on your initial anatomy, skin quality, and postoperative care. With his extensive rhinoplasty experience, Dr. Madjoudj provides realistic expectations about what surgery can improve versus what limitations exist.
How to Choose the Right Surgeon for Your Rhinoplasty? (Note: This translation maintains the question format while using natural English phrasing. "Bon chirurgien" becomes "right surgeon" to convey the intended meaning more naturally in English. The medical term "rhinoplasty" is kept as is since it's the standard term in English. The tone remains professional yet approachable for patients seeking cosmetic surgery advice.)
It is essential to ensure that the surgeon has documented experience, an understanding of local morphological characteristics, and most importantly, an individualized approach. With over 600 rhinoplasties performed and 30 years of experience, Dr. Madjoudj is a recognized authority in Algeria and internationally.
Does rhinoplasty change a patient's facial identity?
A well-executed rhinoplasty preserves the patient's natural features. The goal isn't to dramatically alter their appearance, but to create balance and harmony that enhances their unique personality without compromising it.
What are the potential complications?
Is rhinoplasty painful?
The pain is moderate and well-managed with the prescribed medication. Discomfort is primarily related to swelling during the first few days.
Is it possible to undergo secondary rhinoplasty (correction of a failed rhinoplasty)?
Dr. Madjoudj specializes in secondary rhinoplasty procedures. These revision surgeries require advanced expertise due to pre-existing anatomical changes.
A thorough consultation is crucial to assess your individual case, set realistic goals, and develop a personalized surgical plan.
When can I resume physical activity?
Light exercises can be resumed after 2 to 3 weeks. Contact sports should be avoided for 3 months.
