We can say that it is the most frequently performed surgery among aesthetic surgeries and is also the most difficult. Because the anatomy of the nose is quite complex. In addition to aesthetics, it also has functional importance.
Pre-Surgery
During the pre-operative examination and preliminary interview; What is the patient's expectation from this surgery, what kind of nose does he want to have? Is the nose he wants compatible with his face? is evaluated. Making a beautiful nose alone may not always be enough. For example, if the lower jaw is tucked back, it may be necessary to fill these areas. Again, in thick and thick skin types (i.e. fleshy noses), there is no chance of thinning the nose too much, so it is necessary to adjust the back of the nose accordingly. The general risks and possible consequences of the surgery are explained to the patient. It is decided whether the surgery will be performed under general or local anesthesia. Preoperative tests are performed according to your anesthesia type and surgery preparation is completed. It is recommended not to take blood thinners or drink herbal tea before the surgery.
Surgery
There are closed and open techniques in surgery. We choose which technique to apply according to the patient's examination findings and the procedure to be performed. For example, an obstruction in the airways along with rhinoplasty; If there is growth in the deviated turbinates, it is treated in the same session.
After the Surgery
After the surgery, hospitalization for 1 night may be required. If the bone structure has been intervened, there will be a period of 1 or 2 days with silicone nose tampon and 1 week with plaster. In some cases, only the cartilage structure and the tip of the nose are intervened without touching the bone structure. No plaster cast is applied to these patients and a bandage for 4-5 days is sufficient. There may be swelling and bruises on the face in the first week. It will decrease and disappear within 10 days. It takes 6 months to 1 year for the nose to completely resolve its edema (the nose settles).
We can say that it is the most frequently performed surgery among aesthetic surgeries and is also the most difficult. Because after this procedure, a permanent change occurs on the face and you have no chance of hiding even the slightest mistake. The anatomy of the nose is quite complex. In addition to aesthetics, it also has functional importance. For this reason, in this surgery, the patient's The preliminary meeting becomes even more important. The harmony of the nose with the face is evaluated. This situation is shared with the patient. For example, in thick and saggy skin types (i.e. fleshy noses), there is no chance of thinning the nose too much. Or, in people whose lower jaw is protruding or receding, intervention in the jaw may also be required for facial harmony.
