Alter the size and shape of your nose
Changing the shape of the nose can dramatically improve a person’s appearance. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular forms of plastic surgery and transforms the social experiences of many. The nose can be reduced in size, its profile altered and damage by accident or injury repaired.
Several variations of surgery exist, catering for different needs. In many cases it is possible to hide all signs of surgery by operating from inside the nostril itself. Incisions can also be made unobtrusively at the sides of nostrils or in the skin that separates the nostrils. In all forms, once the incisions have been made, the skin is lifted from the underlying cartilage.
Reshaping this cartilage alters the shape of the nose: material can be removed or sculpted and in some cases additional material or implants can be used to build up areas. After sculpting and closure, splints or another form of support maintain the new shape until healing is completed.
The procedure is usually completed within 2 hours but may last longer in some cases.
A day’s bed rest is necessary after the procedure. Small amounts of bleeding may occur in the first days following the surgery. Initial discomfort should subside after a few days. Swelling and bruising will remain for about 2 weeks.
There are few risks associated with this procedure. Scarring is minimal and in most cases hidden from view. There is a small chance of infection as with all operations. Healing cannot be predicted with total accuracy and in a small number of cases irregular settling of the cartilage may necessitate a subsequent procedure.

A guide to plastic surgery regulations in Hungary

Organizations
The Ministry of Health, Social and Family Affairs has overall responsibility for the quality and distribution of healthcare in Hungary.
The Hungarian Medical Chamber is the politically independant overseer of the profession in Hungary. Membership of the Medical Chamber is compulsory for doctors and the chamber through its regional branches maintains a register of all qualified doctors.
Continuing professional development is overseen by the Continuing Education Council.
The Association of Hungarian Medical Societies (AHMS) combines the aims and interests of its member societies to represent the medical profession in Hungary. Plastic Surgeons in Hungary will belong to the Hungarian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (a member society of the AHMS).
Education
Initial medical qualification falls under the remit of the Ministry of Education which regulates the 4 medical schools. Training takes 6 years. The Ministry of Health takes overall responsibility for postgraduate medical training and is aided in this by the advice of 'Institutes' which represent groupings of experts in relevant fields. Specialization such as in Plastic Surgery is obtained through a centrally regulated registrar system. Training in plastic surgery as a specialty (Plasztikai (égési) sebészet) requires a minimum period of 5 years. Continuing professional development is mandatory and is based on the accrual of Continuous Medical Education (CME) points. Failure to obtain the required numbers of CME points from accredited training programmes will lead to a suspension of the right to practice.
Complaints
The Medical Chamber has extensive powers over physicans and may fine, suspend or remove the right to practice. Patient complaints may be addressed to the chamber. Patients also retain the right to follow civil action through the courts.
