The nose, which is at the very center of the face, is one of the structures that most affects facial beauty.
It is located at the point where the gaze is focused in face-to-face interviews. While nose beauty adds extra value to facial beauty, deformities in the nose cause just as much discomfort. For this reason, the importance of rhinoplasty surgeries is increasing day by day.
What is rhinoplasty?
Aesthetic nose surgery performed to shape the nose is called rhinoplasty. With aesthetic nose surgery, the tip of the nose can be reshaped, the size of the nose can be increased or decreased, the nostrils can be reduced, and the angles formed by the nose with the lips and forehead can be changed. In cases where there are breathing problems through the nose, rhinoplasty should be performed together with interventions aimed at solving breathing problems such as septoplasty and turbinate resection. In aesthetic nose surgeries, functional importance as well as rhinoplasty is an issue that should not be ignored. Therefore, as a result of a successful rhinoplasty surgery, the nose should be compatible with the face, the changes in the nose structure should not be excessive, it should provide a natural nose appearance and at the same time make breathing easier.
The success of rhinoplasty operations depends on the person's nose. It depends on the patient expressing his/her complaints and expectations correctly to his/her doctor. Therefore, talk to each other about your expectations regarding the rhinoplasty operation and the problems related to your nose. Your description and expectations will guide the planning of the nose surgery to be performed. Expectations that are beyond reality or aim at perfection are likely to cause disappointment in the person. For this reason, after rhinoplasty surgery, you will not have a perfect appearance, but a better and more harmonious appearance. People who expect perfection are satisfied with the surgery performed.
Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty
I expect perfection, better than their current situation, I do not see people who do not have the consciousness to accept something more beautiful as suitable candidates for rhinoplasty. A good rhinoplasty candidate should not seek perfection, but should be able to accept a better nose than his/her current nose. The SIMON type patient group determined by us plastic surgeons, that is, S = Single, I = Immature, M = Male, O = Overexpectant (With unrealistic expectations), N = Narcissistic (Narcissistic personality). structure) are not considered suitable for rhinoplasty. I can say that rhinoplasty is suitable for people who are in good physical health, have completed their personality development, have reached the appropriate age, have a normal psychological state and do not have unrealistic expectations, and if their nose does not match the face and there are deformities or problems with their functions that are noticeable at first glance.
Generally, plastic surgeons are in favor of postponing rhinoplasty surgeries during the development period of adolescents. Considering both bone development and personality development, the lower limit of rhinoplasty age in young people is considered to be 17-18. There is no upper limit for the age of rhinoplasty.
In Which Ways Can I Have Rhinoplasty
* If your nose looks larger than normal compared to your face, * If your nose bone looks humpbacked and protrudes when viewed from the side, * From the front If your nose is wider than normal when viewed, You are considered suitable for.
Aesthetic Nose Operation (Rhinoplasty)
What is Rhinoplasty,
Rhinoplasty is for correcting the shape of the nose for aesthetic purposes. It is the operation performed.
Operation age,
The average age of 18 is the lower limit for having an aesthetic nose operation, when both anatomy and psychological structure have matured.
Pre-operative interview,
During the pre-operative meeting, an endoscopic examination is performed to evaluate the breathing status and internal structures of the nose. Photographs of the patient's nose are taken and the possible post-operative shape is seen on the computer.
Surgery technique,
During the surgery, the nasal bones will be shaped by cutting and filing with elegant cutters and a micromotor, and as a closed technique, there will be no scars on the outside of your nose.
Difficulty in breathing through the nose is experienced with the curvature of the middle wall of the nose, called septum deviation. If these conditions are detected, they will be corrected during the surgery. (It is called septorhinoplasty operation)
During the surgery, depending on the need, the protrusion on the nose, which we call the hump, is removed, the crookedness of the nose is corrected, the back of the nose, the tip of the nose and the nostrils are shaped, and the incisions in the nose are spontaneous. It is closed with melting threads, special tapes are glued to the outside of the nose, and a plastic splint is placed that will remain for a week.
Due to the discomfort it causes after the surgery, tampons are not used.
Type of anesthesia and duration of surgery. ,
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 2-2.5 hours.
Healing process: On the first day after the surgery, cold application to the face and simple painkillers relieve the patient. Patient 1 He stays in the hospital overnight and returns home the next day. A slight edema (swelling) and bruising may occur, at most 2-3 days after the surgery, which It declines rapidly in the following days. On average 5-7 days after surgery. The plastic splint and tapes on the nose are removed one day later. Approximately 5-7 days after the surgery, you can return to normal life, travel and start your work. On days 10-15, it is beneficial to do activities that will not tire you out, such as walking. However, the time to start brisk exercise and swimming should be the 3rd or 4th week after the surgery. The use of glasses can be started with light-framed glasses in the first month on average. (Patients who use lenses can start using their lenses on the 2-3rd day after the surgery.) You should not start sports or diving that could cause trauma to your nose before the 2nd month. It will take an average of 3-6 months for the nose shape to fully fit.
Complications of the surgery,
During the surgery; There may be a septum puncture, which is beneficial to be repaired at that time. It may cause noise when breathing through the nose in the future.
Excessive removal of nasal bones or cartilages or excessive reduction or enlargement of the nose may occur.
There may be bleeding immediately after the surgery, which your doctor will do depending on the type of bleeding.
During your recovery period, you may experience swelling and numbness on your face, especially in the upper lip and tip of the nose, which will subside over time.
In later periods, adhesions may occur in the mucosal structures inside the nose, which may need to be corrected with a surgical procedure due to the problem it creates in breathing.
Medical sources indicate that a 10% rate of postoperative revision surgery may be required, and the ideal time for revision surgery is 1 month after surgery. It states that it should be done after one year.
Success in nose surgeries,
As unchangeable factors depending on the person; The person's age, anatomical structure and the body's reaction to wound healing It affects the health positively or negatively. While the success rate increases in people whose nasal skin is thin, the nasal cartilage structure is thick, the size of the nose is not too disproportionate to the face and all facial features are proportional, the nasal skin is oily and thick, the nasal cartilages are thin, compared to the face. A nose that is too large or too small and disproportion or asymmetry in the totality of the face may reduce the chance of success. Depending on the person, having had a previous operation or trauma, or not taking the necessary care during the recovery period may affect the chance of success.
The size is proportional to the person's face, its symmetry is complete, it looks beautiful when looked at, but it is not noticeable that the surgery has been performed. A nose that looks natural and has no breathing problems can be defined as the ideal nose
