Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic surgery preferred by people who do not like the shape of their nose and want to have a more beautiful nose. In the pre-operative consultation with the doctor, your requests are taken into account and your health status is evaluated. If no obstruction is detected, surgery can be performed.
First of all, your wishes and expectations are important here. Our specialist doctor will make the most suitable surgery plan for your face, taking into account your demands. In addition, the condition of your existing tissues, your cartilage and bone structure, previous surgeries or traumas may also affect the result. All these details are discussed in detail during the pre-operative consultation.
Basically, two main techniques are used for rhinoplasty: open and closed techniques. Both techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which technique to use depends on your specialist’s evaluation. The most important point is that the result is the way you want it.
Problems in the nose that cause difficulty in breathing can be corrected during surgery. Breathing difficulties due to mechanical obstructions in the nose, low resistance to negative pressure or thickening of the nasal mucosa due to allergic reasons can be surgically eliminated. However, if measures are not taken for problems due to allergic causes, breathing problems may occur again.
Individuals have different pain thresholds. Preoperative and intraoperative surgical and anesthetic techniques are optimized to minimize side effects such as postoperative medications, pain, bruising and swelling. Swelling and bruises are usually greatly reduced within a week
If the surgery takes place normally, an overnight hospital stay is usually sufficient.
The recovery period after surgery may differ from person to person, but you can usually return to social life after 15 days.
After the surgery, a plastic splint will be placed on your nose and soft silicone pads will be placed in the nostrils to allow breathing. In the first week, these measures are necessary to maintain the new shape of the nose and reduce edema. After one week, the tampons and splint will be removed and ergonomic skin bands will be attached to the nose.
