Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty may address the appearance of the nose, breathing function or both. Surgical planning is tailored to each person’s anatomy, needs and facial features.
Nasal Proportions and Facial Harmony
Every face differs in shape, size and contour. Rhinoplasty is planned individually according to anatomy and facial harmony. Features assessed include the bridge, tip, lip–nose angle and nasal projection.
Not everyone is a suitable candidate; needs and expectations form part of planning.

Rhinoplasty Techniques
Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions. Open rhinoplasty includes a small incision between the nostrils and allows direct access to cartilage and bone. Its appearance usually improves with healing.
Functional concerns require specialist assessment and may need surgery. Selected contour irregularities may sometimes be addressed without surgery using injectable materials or autologous fat; these approaches do not correct breathing problems.

Procedure and Recovery
Rhinoplasty generally takes 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia. An overnight stay is often recommended. Internal dressings may be removed within 24 hours and the splint after approximately one week.
Returning to work may be possible after 5–7 days, depending on recovery. Makeup may be used after the first week. Exercise should be avoided for at least three weeks.
Approximately 60–70% of the development of the result may be visible during the first three months, while the final appearance forms over approximately 12–14 months.

I visited Dr. Moutsoudis’s clinic. He is an excellent doctor who explains everything about each procedure. I personally had injectable treatments on my face and was completely satisfied 🙏. I also had Dermapen with the girls, with a perfect result. Wonderful atmosphere and clinic!! Thank you!! 🙂

For me, Dr. Moutsoudis is the best plastic surgeon. We went through a procedure together, and from the beginning he told me that recovery would be difficult, while other doctors do not say these things. He was completely honest and informative from the first appointment to the last. Even after the procedure, he came to see me three times at the clinic within 12 hours, and to this day, 18 days after the procedure, he shows concern almost daily about the healing process. His phone is always on, and he answers any question I have immediately, even at weekends. He has been by my side from the first moment to the last. Above all, the doctor is a very good person and an excellent doctor!! His results speak for themselves! Of course, I could not fail to mention his impeccably trained team: all excellent professionals, very caring, knowledgeable, kind and principled! My experience at Dr. Moutsoudis’s clinic will remain unforgettable! I am grateful and recommend him without reservation!

I have no words for the doctor. Five stars are far too few. I visited the clinic a short while ago, and he explained everything to me with great patience. Very approachable and, above all, a wonderful human being!!! And the result was fantastic!!!! By far the best plastic surgeon!!
