The nose is an important organ in the human body for smelling, breathing and adjusting the temperature and humidity of the air we breathe. In addition, we can say that it is the most aesthetically important organ of the face due to its location in the middle of the face. Negative changes in the functionality and/or appearance of the nose negatively affect people both physiologically and psychologically. Septorhinoplasty (functional and aesthetic surgery of the nose) is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate these problems. In this surgery, it is aimed to both fulfill the functions of the nose and contribute to the aesthetic beauty of the face.
The majority of patients applying for nose plastic surgery also have a functional problem. The most important of these problems is not being able to breathe easily through the nose. When the nasal structures of these patients are examined, in addition to the disorders in the structures inside the nose that make breathing difficult, the external appearance of the nose reveals that the nose is tilted to one side, the tip of the nose is droopy, there is a protrusion in the bone or cartilage structure on the back of the nose, the nose is excessively large, the nose is sunken, etc. There appear to be problems.
Adenoid and tonsil surgery
Adenoid enlargement in children causes complaints such as snoring at night, stopping breathing during sleep, and sleeping with the mouth open. Due to adenoid enlargement, it may also cause conditions such as inflammation or fluid accumulation in the middle ear, causing hearing loss and pain. Another common problem is frequent runny nose. Sleeping with your mouth open for a long time can cause disproportionate development of facial bones in children, resulting in incorrect and distorted facial shape. It can also lead to undesirable conditions such as developmental delay, heart rhythm disturbances, lack of concentration, decrease in school success, and a constantly tired facial expression due to stopped breathing and snoring during sleep. If the adenoid in a child or adult completely or almost completely covers the nasal part (the part of the nose opening to the throat) and if it causes or is predicted to cause the problems listed above, it must be removed surgically.
The tonsils are essentially responsible for the air we breathe and the food we eat. cleaning of microorganisms present in It is considered one of the places. In this respect, it is a structure that is beneficial to our body. However, when the tonsils become inflamed very frequently, the harm they cause to the body outweighs the benefits. A person who has frequent tonsillitis may develop heart, kidney and joint disease. In addition, it may cause complaints such as developmental delay and loss of appetite in children. Roughly speaking, if a person has tonsillitis 5 or more times a year, surgery is required. In addition, surgery is also recommended in cases of stone formation in the tonsil or accumulation of food residues, which we call magma, or inflammation (abscess) collecting around the tonsil.
Otoplasty (prominent ear surgery)
Prominent ear is a structural condition in which the ear, which is usually present at birth, is inclined forward and to the sides, outside its normal position, and the ear lines are partially unclear. Although protruding ears are a structural problem, they are also a psychological and social problem that occurs especially in childhood and can generally negatively affect the person in the future. Otoplasty surgery is the sum of surgical procedures that eliminate these problems, bring the forward curvature of the auricle to where it should be anatomically, that is, from the front and side, further back and inward, in other words, bring it closer to the head, and ensure the formation of the natural folds of the auricle. There is no change in hearing in this surgery, the aim of the surgery is to create an aesthetically natural auricle.
