RHINOPLASTY

The nose is one of the most important elements of facial aesthetics. For this reason, rhinoplasty operations have a very important place in the field of plastic surgery. After rhinoplasty, the aim is to give the nose a new shape.

Rhinoplasty is the name given to operations performed to improve the appearance of the nose. These operations are performed to eliminate reconstructive, congenital anomalies and trauma-induced nasal deformities.

Many people have rhinoplasty to eliminate deformities and deformities in the nose that occur either congenitally or due to environmental factors. Rhinoplasty activities are carried out together with septoplasty to relieve nasal congestion.

With nose operations, the tip of the nose can be raised or lowered, sharpened, the nose thickened or other disorders treated. Additionally, sunken noses can be corrected with fillers. Rhinoplasty also includes the nostrils. Narrow nostrils can be widened and wide nostrils can be narrowed.

What are the factors to be considered before nose surgery?

It is important to consult a professional plastic surgeon before nose surgery. Expectations after the surgery should be explained to the doctor.

The most suitable age for rhinoplasty is young age. Rhinoplasty is largely successful. However, it should be kept in mind that the surgery has some risks. Discussing all details about the surgery with the doctor before the surgery has a very important place in terms of the success of the surgery and the expectations of the people who will undergo the surgery.

How is Rhinoplasty Done?

Rhinoplasty surgery is performed to reduce the size of the nose, shape the tip of the nose, correct the angle between the nose and the upper lip, and eliminate bone protrusions in the nose.

Tissue can be added to the nose. During nose surgery, many procedures can be performed simultaneously and the nose can be given a very different shape.

Local anesthesia or general anesthesia methods are used in nose aesthetics. However, sedative medication is given before anesthesia. This medication ensures that the patient is comfortable throughout the surgery process. When performing rhinoplasty procedures, first of all, an incision is made inside the nostrils towards the area to be aestheticized. This incision allows the plastic surgeon to reshape the nose. Then, the nose is corrected with medical equipment.

Recovery Period After Rhinoplasty

Various pains may occur during the recovery period after rhinoplasty. The head should be kept slightly elevated and a cold compress should be applied to reduce bruising and swelling that may occur in the nose and eye area. This will speed up the healing period. The splint applied during aesthetic surgery is removed from the nose within a week. However, you can continue to use splints according to your doctor's advice. Rhinoplasty is applied inside the nose. For this reason, no scars are found on the outer area of ​​the nose. Because the post-aesthetic recovery period occurs gradually, it may take weeks or months.
