Nose Aesthetics (Rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty operation is performed to aesthetically restore the nose structure to a new form. It is possible to have a better nose in terms of both aesthetics and health with nasal aesthetics, which is one of the most preferred aesthetic operations after non-surgical aesthetic operations. Before the aesthetic nose surgery, the patient who wants to have surgery should be examined by a specialist doctor and should explain his/her wishes to the doctor. After this stage, the problems in the nose are determined by the doctor and the operation is decided. It is determined which nose structure will be more suitable by evaluating the individual’s weight, face type, distance between chin and eyes.

 

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is the surgical operations performed to correct and improve the appearance and discomfort of the nose. Rhinoplasty is performed to correct deformations secondary to external factors, to change the physical appearance of the congenital defect or to allow more comfortable breathing. Both breathing difficulties and aesthetic problems can be corrected with rhinoplasty procedure.

 

Who Can Have Rhinoplasty?

In order to have a nose job, the patient must be at least 18 years old. This procedure can be performed to correct any deformities secondary to injuries or to repair a congenital defect, as well as to change the external appearance of the nose or to ease breathing difficulties by eliminating possible breathing difficulties. Between men and women, there are some points that should be taken into consideration when performing a nose job. During the operation, the angle between the tip of the nose and the lip is 110 degrees for women and 90 degrees for men. In addition, aesthetics in men should have a more masculine structure unlike women. Since the nose directly affects the shape of the face, rhinoplasty is extremely important for men. Considering these factors, it is recommended that nasal aesthetics be performed on individuals who really need it.

 

How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?

Rhinoplasty is an operation that can be customized for the needs of the patient and can evolve into different methods. For this reason, there are multiple surgical methods. The answer to the question of how to do nasal aesthetics can be divided into two general lines as follows:

Open Rhinoplasty: This method is used for patients who want to completely reshape the nose. A small piece is cut through the nostrils and the nose and goes under the skin and an open intervention is gained. In this way, the nose is revised as desired. Conditions that may cause discomfort to the person such as congenital arched nose, defects in the structure of the nose, long nose can be eliminated by open rhinoplasty method.

Closed Rhinoplasty: In the closed rhinoplasty method, the operation is performed through inside the nostrils without cutting toutside of the nose. It is a method preferred by patients who want small procedures instead of very big changes in their nose.

In addition to these methods; If the patient’s expectations are not met after the first rhinoplasty operation, it is subjected to a re-procedure, this procedure is called revision rhinoplasty. The process of reshaping the tip of the nose without touching the other parts of the nose is called tipplasty. It can be applied in two different ways as open and closed. Rhinoplasty prices also vary according to these methods. Rhinoplasty can also be applied with non-surgical methods by injecting fat or fillers in certain parts of the nose, but these do not provide permanent solutions.

 

What Should Be Considered After Rhinoplasty?

There are situations that patients should pay attention to after rhinoplasty operation. After having a rhinoplasty operation, the patient should definitely pay attention to his nutrition. They should not drink very hot or very cold drinks, and avoid foods that are bitter and difficult to digest. In addition, if the patient is doing sports, he/she should take a break, avoid trauma to his/her nose and avoid smoking. After the rhinoplasty, the change from month to month should be followed under the supervision of a doctor and the instructions given by your doctor should be followed carefully.

 

How is the Recovery Period?

During the rhinoplasty recovery process, the splints on the nose are removed within 5 days after the operation and a protective band is attached. After the operation, the patient can continue his normal life after a while. By the second week, the patient can make movements that will not tire himself/herself. Activities such as sports, driving, going to work do not pose a problem as long as the patient can protect their nose. There may be a loss of smell after rhinoplasty, but it is temporary. In rhinoplasty, it is extremely important that the operation is performed and followed by a good doctor. Since the nose can seriously change the face and appearance of a person, it is as important as before the operation.
