Nose aesthetics (rhinoplasty) is an operation performed to reshape the nose to improve its appearance.
This operation is performed to correct congenital or traumatic deformities in the nose.
Some patients may also experience nasal breathing problems due to this deformity. With this operation, both the deformity can be corrected and the breathing problem can be eliminated.
The preferred age for nose aesthetic surgery is after the age of 18, when ninety percent of the nose development is completed.
Aesthetic rhinoplasty can be applied due to requirements such as reducing the size of the nose, narrowing it, shaping the tip of the nose, eliminating bone protrusions in the nose, and correcting the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
Rhinoplasty operations can be performed with open or closed technique.
In the open technique, the nose skin and subcutaneous tissue are lifted up after a small transverse incision in the columella (the column that separates the nostrils). By stripping correctly, bone and cartilage tissue is reached and shaped. After this procedure, a small, unnoticeable scar is formed in the columella.
In the closed technique, incisions are made through the mucosa tissue inside the nostrils. Again, the skin and subcutaneous tissue are separated from the cartilage and bone tissue, and the bone and cartilage are shaped.
After your nose structure is determined by your surgeon, the most appropriate technique will be applied.

The use of blood thinners and drinking herbal teas should be stopped approximately 10 days before the surgery.
