The primary purpose of nose aesthetics (Rhinoplasty) surgery is; It is the reconstruction of a natural-looking nose shape that is compatible with the basic structures of the face such as lips, eyes, chin and forehead, without disrupting the functions of the nose.
Since the nose is located in the middle of the face and in a remarkable area, surgical procedures must be carried out carefully and meticulously. should be done. Before this procedure, basic features such as the characteristics of the bone, cartilage and skin structure, its placement in the horizontal and vertical planes, the shape of the nasal dorsum, its angulation with the lips and forehead, the height and width of the tip of the nose and its placement relative to the tip of the chin should be evaluated in detail.
Surgery Planning
The doctor must explain to the patient what he expects and the possible shape change before the surgery. Once the patient's expectations match the procedure planned by the physician, the patient can be operated on. The same nose structure will not fit every face, and a very reduced nose shape looks exaggerated on the face and disrupts the basic functions of the nose. In order to better inform the patient, photographs of the patient should be taken before surgery to compare preoperative and postoperative results and to plan the surgery. By using computer programs in planning the surgery, how to plan the shape of the nose as a result of the operation can be shared with the patient.
The dimensions of the nose can change the shape of the tip or arch of the nose, narrow the width of the nostrils, and correct the deformity of the nasal base. At the same time, in patients with intranasal curvature, which we call septum deviation, which makes it difficult to breathe through the nose, it would be appropriate to have surgery to correct the inside and outside of the nose together. In this way, the patient will not have to undergo surgery twice, and we can use the excess cartilage coming out of the nose as filling and support material during the correction of the patient's nose shape.
Surgery Stages
Surgery Stages
strong>The average duration of the surgery is 1.5-2 hours, and the work to be done and the duration of the surgery vary depending on the degree of deformity of the patient. Before the surgery, the patient is examined by the anesthesiologist and the necessary tests are evaluated. is said. In this way, the anesthesiologist decides whether the patient can have such an operation or not. In aesthetic nose surgery, tampons or splints are placed inside and outside the nose. Such materials are important for the healthy healing of the patient's nose.
Post-Operative Healing Period
Patients who have had aesthetic nose surgery have two or three They get up and walk around during the day and can return to a non-tiring work life or school a week after the surgery. It takes one to two weeks to fully return to the daily pace of life. During this period, activities that require high effort such as running, swimming and gymnastics should be avoided. During the first 8-10 weeks of the early recovery period, it is necessary to protect the patient from impacts or impacts and avoid sunbathing. Post-operative tissue swelling decreases day by day. It should not be forgotten that it will take a year for the tissues to fully heal and the swelling to disappear.
