Rhinoplasty for men in Wrocław
Rhinoplasty for men reshapes the bony and cartilaginous framework of the nose while keeping masculine proportions: a straighter, stronger bridge and a tip that is not too upturned. For many men the operation also improves breathing after an old injury. At Luna Clinic in Wrocław it is performed by Dr Aleksandra Łuniewska.

Nose reshaping - what does the procedure involve?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at changing the shape of the nose - improving its proportions, breathing function and the overall harmony of the face. At Luna Clinic we offer both a full bone-and-cartilage correction under general anaesthesia and less invasive modifications (e.g. of the nasal tip) under local anaesthesia. The procedure allows the correction of a hump, length, width, asymmetry or a drooping nasal tip.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most demanding operations in plastic surgery - not only technique matters, but also an aesthetic sense of proportion. At Luna Clinic we plan the procedure individually, discussing with the patient a realistic, harmonious result, not a “catalogue nose”.
Indications for the procedure
Whether the procedure is advisable for you is ultimately decided by the doctor during the consultation.
- A bone-and-cartilage hump of the nose
- A drooping or overly raised nasal tip
- A wide or asymmetrical nasal bridge
- A deviated septum (with a functional component)
- Improvement of the results of previous operations
- Disturbed proportions of the nose in relation to the face
Contraindications
How to prepare for the procedure?
The procedure is always preceded by a qualification consultation with a plastic surgeon - we discuss expectations, examine the area to be operated on and establish an individual treatment plan. As standard, we order a full set of tests (blood count, coagulation, electrolytes, ECG for general anaesthesia) and, if necessary, additional specialist consultations.
- Consultation with a plastic surgeon - a detailed discussion of expectations and the surgical plan
- Laboratory tests
- Stopping anticoagulant medications at least 14 days before the procedure (after consultation)
- Avoiding alcohol and cigarette smoking for at least 14 days before the operation
- On the day of the procedure - facial hygiene without make-up or creams
The nose-reshaping procedure step by step
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
The largest swelling and bruising around the eyes subside within 10-14 days; you can usually return to office work after the cast is removed.
- A splint on the nose for about 7-10 days
- Possible bruising and swelling around the eyes - subsiding gradually within 2-3 weeks
- Avoiding intense physical exertion for at least 4-6 weeks
- No sunbathing or solarium for a minimum of 6 months - use of high UV filters
- Check-ups: after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months
- The full effect is visible after about 6-12 months, once the deep swelling subsides
Treatment effects
The result of nose reshaping is a natural, proportional nose without a hump, narrowed and harmonising with the rest of the face - and, with septal correction, also free breathing. The initial shape is visible after the cast is removed; the final effect, after the swelling fully subsides, is assessed after 12 months.
The goal is to achieve a natural-looking nose matched to the individual proportions of the face. The effect is permanent and allows not only the improvement of aesthetics but also - if necessary - of breathing function. The result depends on tissue quality and proper healing.

AfterPossible complications and risks
Like any surgical procedure, this one also carries a certain risk. It is reduced by careful qualification before the procedure and by following the aftercare recommendations. Possible complications include:
- Haematoma, post-operative bleeding
- Infection
- Swelling persisting for several weeks or months
- Nasal asymmetry or an unsatisfying aesthetic result
- A scar on the columella (in the open technique) - usually thin and barely visible
- Permanent sensory disturbances of the nasal skin
- The need for re-operation
Frequently asked questions
Is the procedure painful?
It is performed under general anaesthesia - the patient feels no pain.
Will I have scars?
With the open technique a thin scar remains on the columella, usually barely visible.
How long do I wear the splint?
About 7-10 days after the procedure.
When can I return to work?
Office work: after 10-14 days.
How long does the swelling last?
The largest disappears within 2-3 weeks; the deep swelling subsides within 6-12 months
Is the effect permanent?
Yes - the result of rhinoplasty is permanent; the reshaped bone-and-cartilage framework does not return to its previous form.
Can nose reshaping be combined with other procedures?
Yes - e.g. with eyelid surgery or a facelift.
Does the procedure affect breathing?
It can improve nasal function, especially with septal correction.
When can I go home after the operation?
The doctor makes that decision after assessing your condition. You will not be able to drive after general anaesthesia, so arrange for someone to collect you and take you home.
Is this a procedure for men and women?
Yes - we plan the result individually according to sex and facial features.
Does rhinoplasty also improve breathing?
Yes - if the obstruction is caused by a deviated septum or collapsing nasal wings, we correct them at the same time (septorhinoplasty).
When will the swelling disappear after nose surgery?
80% of the swelling subsides in the first 4-6 weeks, but the nasal tip reaches its final shape in up to 12 months - this is the normal course of healing.
Rhinoplasty for men in Wrocław: how much does it cost?
Rhinoplasty for men is quoted individually; nasal tip correction alone starts at PLN 7,000. The amount is given after the surgical consultation (PLN 300).
Is it covered by the NFZ (Polish public health insurance)?
Luna Clinic treats patients privately. The NFZ (Polish public health insurance) funds nose surgery only for medical reasons, such as a deviated septum, usually in ENT departments. Cosmetic correction is not covered.
