We are experiencing very rapid development in every branch of science. As human beings gain experience in every field, their perspective and approach to events change.
The situation is not much different in nose surgeries. Thanks to the good analysis of the long-term results of previous surgeries, we see that the perspective on rhinoplasty operations has changed considerably, both technically and philosophically, and many innovations have emerged.
These innovations occur not only in the field of science, but also in fashion, design and art. The fashionable clothes, hairstyles, make-up methods and understanding of beauty of the 1960s are very different from today's. Likewise, the aesthetic understanding of the 1960s is quite different from today's.
The anatomical knowledge and surgical techniques of 40 years ago were not as broad and diverse as they are today. Similarly, aesthetic philosophy was far away from what it is now. What I mean can be understood much more easily if we compare the cover models of fashion magazines of the 1960s with the model pictures of today's magazines. At that time, the boat nose was in fashion and the more hollow the nose was, the more beautiful it was. It was made so upturned that when viewed from the front, the nostrils were visible. These operations were generally performed with a closed technique, in the years when techniques based on the removal of excess cartilage and bone from the nose were popular.
Just as fashion trends have changed over time, the understanding of nose aesthetics has also begun to change. Nowadays, as a result of the development of surgical anatomical knowledge and the long-term results of previous operation techniques, rhinoplasty techniques and operation results have evolved and come to the present day. , noses compatible with the face. In my opinion, the essentials of a successful nose surgery are to have a non-surgical appearance and for the new nose to look as natural as possible on the patient's face.
In the new understanding of rhinoplasty, shadowing and the natural reflections of light on the nose have also gained importance. "� The smooth transition between the eyebrow and the nose, which we call "double shadow", until the tip of the nose, gave the nose a much more natural appearance. When viewed as a whole, it ends as an elliptical light beam at the tip, making the nose look incredibly natural and in harmony with the other structures of the face.
In this new rhinoplasty trend, the ideal nose, tip and back appear as a single structure rather than separate structures. noses are natural and compatible with the face, where the angle of the nose's back is within reasonable limits, it is not excessively upturned, the shadowing and reflections created by light on the nose show smooth transitions, the eyebrow-nose imaginary line appears as a smooth double shadow, the light falling on the tip of the nose creates an elliptical reflection at the tip of the nose. We can define it as.
