Rinoplasty

What is Nose Aesthetics (Rhinoplasty)?

It is the whole of the procedures called rhinoplasty and generally performed both for aesthetic purposes and to repair any dysfunction or deformity.

Rhinoplasty is a very powerful method for overcoming the difficulties that usually occur in respiratory processes and reduce the quality of life. In order for the procedure to provide a lifelong solution, the physician who manages the surgical procedure throughout the process must be an expert, experienced and knowledgeable in the field.

Why is Nose Aesthetics Performed?

The reasons that push the person to demand rhinoplasty may be more than one. Let's briefly review them:

Congenital causes: Conditions that occur with birth and cause breathing difficulties or do not satisfy the person in terms of aesthetics are the most common causes of nasal aesthetics. When aesthetic disorders are combined with breathing difficulties, patients' complaints increase. The surgical procedure performed often aims to solve two problems at the same time.

Subsequent accidents and traumas: Deformities that occur as a result of a major accident, fracture or tissue trauma may cause serious problems in the breathing activity of the person or may disturb the person in terms of aesthetics. In such cases, we offer surgical solutions with innovative approaches and an expert team.

How is Nose Aesthetics Performed?

The shape of the nose area creates a very critical area that can drastically change a person's face. Therefore, it is very important that you clearly explain your expectations during the pre-procedure meetings with our surgeon who performed the procedure.

Rhinoplasty is performed within the framework of the following steps:

General anesthesia is a very common method in nose surgeries. However, in some cases this may not be necessary. For example, local anesthesia can be used instead of general anesthesia in interventions performed only on the tip of the nose.

Open rhinoplasty: This technique is performed by making a small incision in the tissue between the two nostrils. This incision is very important for the surgeon to observe the internal structures of the nose more easily and to perform the procedure more easily. It is extremely important to choose this incision and open rhinoplasty so that the doctor can perform the correct operation from the right point, especially in nasal deformities where high-rate changes are requested. Of course, since the incision rate is high, the healing time of the tissues will be longer in open rhinoplasty.

Closed rhinoplasty: Closed rhinoplasty, which has a much shorter recovery time, is preferred for surgical procedures that require smaller changes. Physicians want to maximize the tissue healing rate by performing the closed procedure if adequate. This method is frequently used because it reduces the possibility of any suture marks or infection.

Nose Aesthetic Surgery and Recovery Process

Rhinoplasty surgeries are processes that can make you feel pain after the procedure. Because of this, doctors can usually administer pain relievers while the patient is still anesthetized. Regular use of the drugs recommended by your doctor in the continuation of the process is very important for accelerating tissue healing and relieving pain.

Bleeding or swelling experienced after the process can be considered normal to a certain extent. It is generally recommended to lie in a position that allows the nose to remain higher than the lower part of the face and body to relieve nasal pain and facilitate breathing. During the healing process, you may need to consider the following warnings:

Not using facial expressions that move your mimics excessively,

Applying sunscreen with a protection factor of thirty or fifty on the nose (it is a very important detail to avoid color changes on your nose, which is extremely vulnerable to all harmful rays).

Avoiding heavy sports, exercise, aerobics or running

Avoiding foods containing sodium in order to reduce swelling in the face area and nose,
Pressing your nose and face with an ice pack at the rate and at intervals determined by your doctor,

Prefer not to go to school or work for a while in order not to tire yourself as much as possible and to give time to your recovery.

Following your doctor's recommendations regarding the post-processing period and regular check-ups will help you get the best results.
