Rhinoplasty surgery is performed to correct the external appearance of the nose. It is important to protect breathing during this surgery and to correct it if it is problematic.
It is also called a functional aesthetic surgery operation.
WHO ARE SUITABLE CANDIDATES FOR THIS SURGERY?
Deciding on nose surgery is important because it is an area in the middle of our face that attracts attention
. It is important in giving the person a characteristic facial appearance.
In order to undergo plastic surgery, nose development must be completed. It is important to be over 18
. Both the anatomical development is completed and the person
becomes of legal age for a permanent change on his/her face.
The person who decides on nose surgery should meet with his/her physician knowing what he/she wants. However
expectations should be realistic. Because the nose should be compatible with the face. A patient with large facial features
will have an incompatible face with a small and upturned nose.
Many factors are taken into account when evaluating the nose. The patient's nasal skin structure, previous operations, and the size of the lower and upper jaw are taken into consideration.
The current trend, which I personally apply in my surgeries, natural
looking nose' It is the nose shape that patients frequently want today.
PREPARATION BEFORE THE OPERATION
After the pre-operative interview, patient photographs are taken. Except for nose tip operations, all nose surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. After routine examinations
The patient is prepared with the approval of the anesthesiologist.
SURGERY PROCESS
The surgery takes approximately 2-3 hours, depending on the difficulty level of the operation

The silicone tampons we use today provide great comfort to the patient
during and after the surgery.
AFTER THE SURGERY
When you come out of the surgery, you will have a small scar on your nose. plaster and tampon. Since general anesthesia
is required, it may be necessary to be monitored in the hospital overnight. Ice is applied throughout the night.
The patient is usually discharged the next day. Cast change is done after 1 week. r.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED?
There may be facial edema in the first 2 weeks after nose surgery. Over time, the edema disappears
and the nose takes its final desired shape at the end of the 6th month. It is important not to wear sunglasses for the first 3 months after the surgery, not to get hit, and to get a massage.
The most important thing is to go for regular check-ups. Because there are some patient-dependent factors regarding cartilage recovery after nose surgery. Since the stitches and cartilage materials placed are personal surgery techniques, if there is a problem, it is very important to consult the surgeon who performed the operation. The success rate decreases in repeated nose surgeries.
Nose surgeries are frequently performed by plastic surgeons; In my opinion, it is one of the surgeries I frequently perform in public hospitals.
