Nose Aesthetics

The face is the first area that attracts attention at first glance. Correcting the disorders in this region is very important psychologically and aesthetically.

Thanks to the new machines and new techniques used in the field of medicine, surgical operations for rhinoplasty are handled with much simpler operations in today's conditions compared to the past days.

Rhinoplasty, also called rhinoplasty, is of great importance both in terms of aesthetics and health.

As a result of eliminating the disorder in the nose area with aesthetic operation, the person both has a nose with the desired appearance and starts to breathe in a healthier way after the operation.

What is Nose Aesthetics?

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery operation in which the shape of the nose is realized through changes in the cartilage or bone structures in the nose.

Rhinoplasty, which is also used in names such as nasoplasty and rhinoplasty, is the most common aesthetic operation among aesthetic operations.

Rhinoplasty is performed to eliminate congenital, acquired or traumatic deformities in the nose. Although deformity is often performed only because of visual discomfort, it is a problem that needs to be corrected because it causes respiratory disorders in most people.

Regardless of the reason for which aesthetic surgery is performed, the most important goal in rhinoplasty is to make the respiratory tract in the nose function in the best way as a result of the operation.

During the operation, one or more of the procedures of reshaping the nose (reconstruction), removing deformities or changing the shape of a region are performed.

Who is Suitable for Rhinoplasty?

People who are considering having rhinoplasty surgery should definitely check whether the nasal tissues are suitable for an aesthetic operation during an examination to be performed by the doctor.

 Since even the slightest intervention has very significant results, surgeries related to rhinoplasty should definitely be performed by a surgeon who is an expert in the field.

Since rhinoplasty, which is applied in both men and women, is a complicated operation, a period of 6 to 12 months must pass in order to get the expected result.

This period varies according to the size of the operation performed in the nose, the structure of the tissues in the nose or the size of the problem in the nose.

In rhinoplasty surgery, it is recommended to wait until the nasal cartilage of the person completes its development before an operation to be performed for aesthetic reasons.

In girls, this development limit is 15 years old, while in boys this development takes a little longer. For reasons related to breathing, surgery is performed at a younger age without waiting for this age limit.

Why is Nose Aesthetics Performed?

Rhinoplasty is performed for health or aesthetic reasons.

The first of the reasons for nasal aesthetics is the occurrence of problems with breathing due to a congenital or later developed deformity in the nose.

The cause of respiratory problems may be evident from the external appearance of the nose, or it may be located on the inside of the nose in a way that is not aesthetically obvious. The second reason is that the person is uncomfortable with the aesthetic appearance of the nose.

Conditions such as dislocation in the bone part of the nose, deformity in the cartilage structure, excessively large nose, non-symmetrical nose are among the reasons that require rhinoplasty surgery.

The person's own preferences play a role in the operations performed for aesthetic purposes.

Some people are very satisfied with their noses despite the fact that their noses are protruding and large. Some people, on the other hand, are not satisfied with their noses despite having a normal-looking nose and want to have a different appearance.

As a result, rhinoplasty is applied due to health or aesthetic problems.

How is Nose Aesthetics Performed?

In rhinoplasty surgeries, the preoperative period is as important as the moment of operation. With the exchange of ideas with the doctor who will perform the surgery, it is first evaluated whether he is suitable for aesthetic surgery.

Then, as a result of this interview, the expectations and possible results of the surgery are evaluated with the exchange of ideas between the doctor and the patient.

The doctor should have information about the previous surgeries of the patient he/she will operate on, and knowing the medical history and sample nasal operations sufficiently strengthens the patient-doctor trust.

After examining the medical history, the patient's nasal skin, internal and external structures are examined and the planned changes are discussed.

 Apart from these, the doctor needs various blood analyzes and biochemical laboratory tests to decide on the suitability of the patient.

Rhinoplasty surgery is a surgical operation usually performed under general anesthesia. For simple surgical operations that require only minor touch-ups, local anesthesia is also used depending on the doctor's preference.

The surgery takes 2 hours on average, and it usually takes you 1 day to be discharged from a rhinoplasty surgery together with the preparations for the surgery and postoperative applications and observation periods.

What is the Recovery Time for Rhinoplasty?

Depending on the size of the operation, the recovery process in patients who have undergone rhinoplasty operation depends on the size of the operation, patients can start to stand up and walk around within approximately 4-6 hours, and if there is no nausea and vomiting after 6 hours, they can start eating.

In some cases, patients are discharged on the day of surgery, sometimes they are kept under observation for 1 day.

At the end of the surgery, tampons are usually placed in the nose. These tampons are removed after approximately 2 days, and the mold placed on the back of the nose is removed approximately 1 week after surgery.

If there are no side effects in patients after the surgery, they can usually return to their work life after 1 week or 10 days.

It is normal to have swelling and bruising after surgery. These swellings and bruises decrease as time passes and after 1 week to 10 days, they reach a level that can be covered with makeup.

If you are uncomfortable with the aesthetic structure of your nose or breathing, you can get detailed information about the process by contacting specialist physicians.
