What is Rhinoplasty, Septorhinoplasty, Rhinoplasty Surgery?
The nose is the most striking structure of the face. In addition to the sense of smell, it has very important functions such as heating, cleaning and humidifying the air we breathe. We call the surgeries that only improve the external appearance of the nose "Rhinoplasty", and if there are also intranasal stenosis that causes complaints of nasal congestion, we call these surgeries "Septorhinoplasty". The main purpose of this surgery is to restore the appearance. With the help of this surgery, the size of your nose can be reduced or increased, the shape of your nose tip or bridge can be changed, the nostrils can be narrowed or the angle between the nose and the upper lip can be changed, and the bone protrusions on the back of the nose can be removed and corrected. Deviations (nasal obstructions) that occur as a result of developmental or impact can be corrected during the same surgery.
Risks, Negativities
Bleeding, infection and anesthesia complications that can occur in every surgery. Risks such as these also occur in aesthetic nose surgeries. However, these complications are rare. Irregular wound healing caused by the patient's own body, thick and oily nasal skin and smoking are factors that negatively affect the results of the surgery.
Additionally, crooked noses are the most difficult noses. There may be some changes in the shape of your nose and a decrease in the elevation of the nose tip in the months after the surgery. Taking this into consideration, the surgery tries to make your nose a little more upturned. These undesirable conditions, which can occur in 5% of patients in the world literature, can be corrected with minor interventions approximately 9 months after the surgery.
The purpose of aesthetic nose surgery is not to provide a perfect or ideal nose, but to provide a more beautiful-looking nose than you have. You should have this surgery for yourself, not for the attention and praise of others. Do not decide on surgery until you fully trust the physician who will perform your surgery.
It is not possible to achieve perfection in aesthetic nose surgeries in terms of improving the appearance. Each patient's tissue may respond differently to surgery. Moon Additionally, this surgery is not an organ transplant surgery, such as removing the nose of a person the patient takes as an example or admires and attaching it to the patient. The success rate we can achieve in aesthetic nose surgeries is related to the characteristics of the patient's nasal tissues.
There is no ideal nose, a natural-looking nose that is compatible with your face should be aimed.
Before you decide to have surgery, you should think carefully about your expectations and You should share this with your doctor. Our goal in this surgery is to create a natural-looking nose that is compatible with your face by using the existing tissues in your nose.
