Rhinoplasty

Nasal aesthetics, also known as rhinoplasty, refers to all surgical procedures performed to alter the shape of the nose. Rhinoplasty procedures are frequently used to improve the aesthetics of the nose, alter its shape to suit a person’s preferences, and remove deformities that impair nasal functions like breathing and odor. A healthy nose structure can be achieved through operations on the nasal bone and cartilage tissues, and changes can also be made to the nose’s appearance to create the ideal face proportion.

Today, with the help of developing medical technologies, nose job in Turkey is performed in a much simpler way than in the past. When visually disturbing nasal arch, nasal tip drooping, nose size, and many other problems are eliminated with these operations, patients can lead their lives in a much more comfortable and healthy way psychologically.

The process of nose surgery in Turkey begins with the first examination to be performed by a specialist doctor. The patient’s complaints, the desired visual changes, and whether they are suitable for the nose or face structure are decided by the exchange of views between the doctor and the patient during this examination. At the same time, with a detailed examination, it can be determined whether there is any problem in the nose that may prevent the rhinoplasty operation. In the absence of a structural problem, general health checks should also be performed, and the presence of conditions that may hinder the surgical operation, such as bleeding diseases, should be investigated.

In patients who are determined to be suitable for the operation, it is very important for the doctor and the patient to establish good communication in terms of the shape changes to be made and to explain the patient’s expectations to the doctor in a good way. In this way, undesirable results can be prevented and the possibility of needing correction operations can be minimized. By photographing the nose from various angles, an approximate image of the targeted changes can be obtained on a large screen. The use of such visual techniques at the planning stage is very beneficial in terms of ensuring correct communication between the physician and the patient.

When the day of the operation comes, local anesthesia is used in case of simple interventions according to the type of surgery, and general anesthesia is applied if a large-scale operation is to be performed. The duration of the operation also varies according to the procedures to be performed. On average, a rhinoplasty in Turkey is expected to take about a few hours. After the operation, which is performed by choosing the most suitable method for the patient from open or closed methods, the patients are discharged after being kept under observation for a certain period of time.

Nose job surgery in Turkey can be performed in many different situations for a health problem or unwanted deformities in the nose. However, common problems that can answer the question of why rhinoplasty is done include:

  1. Congenital or acquired deformities in the nose
  2. Presence of curvature or protrusion of the nasal bone
  3. Complaints such as breathing problems and snoring caused by structural disorders
  4. The person’s being uncomfortable with the appearance of his nose or needs any shape changes
  5. Problems with the angle of the nose
  6. Nostrils that are smaller or larger than normal
