The anatomical and physical structure of the nose can be changed by the surgeon. In addition, the surgeon’s surgical procedure to give the nose a more aesthetic appearance is called rhinoplasty. These surgical procedures;

• Correcting congenital disorders,
• Eliminate loss of function,
• Reversing deformities caused by accidents,
• It is done to fulfill the aesthetic preferences of people.

Aesthetic procedures for the nose are performed by plastic and reconstructive surgery specialists and otolaryngologists. This aesthetics is realized by surgically opening the nose and shaping the bones and cartilage of the nose. Sometimes a part of the nasal bone is filed. Sometimes some procedures are applied to the nasal cartilage. Thus, the nose gains a different appearance.

What are the Types of Rhinoplasty?

Nose reshaping is not a procedure with sharp boundaries that we can divide into certain subtypes. Since everyone’s nose is unique, many anatomical structures may vary from nose to nose. Although nose job reminds a certain procedure in society, each surgery includes many unique and challenging processes.

Rhinoplasty is performed in our Yaman Surgical Medical Center for aesthetic purposes, to restore function and reconstruction. In addition, our doctor will determine the type of nose reshaping with a detailed physical examination and imaging methods. You should have a detailed communication process with our doctor and explain your demands and expectations. Thus, our specialist will give you exactly the look you dream of.

But it should not be forgotten that there is never such a thing as a perfect result in nose job. Since the nose is one of our most sensitive and complex sensory organs, even the smallest mistake can affect things negatively.

Therefore, you should choose the doctor and center where you will have nose reshaping well. We recommend you to apply to the experienced doctor at our Yaman Surgical Medical Center for rhinoplasty that will affect your life and achieve the appearance you want, in accordance with your dream goals.

How is Rhinoplasty Performed?

Nose job is roughly divided into two as open or closed aesthetic procedures. In open surgeries, the skin of the cartilage tissue between the nostrils is cut and the nasal skin is completely opened. Thus, surgeons perform much better interventions on cartilages and bones.

Closed Surgeries

In closed surgeries, a series of interventions made through the nostrils form the general outlines of the surgery. In open surgeries, some scars may remain in the area between the nostrils, which we call the septum. However, the biggest disadvantage of closed surgery is that major changes cannot be made. Your surgeon will decide which surgery is right for you and make the right choice for a better appearance.

Open Surgeries

In open surgeries, patients are usually put under general anesthesia and the surgery takes longer. In these rhinoplasty surgeries, doctors apply different procedures according to the goals. For example, the patient’s nose can be opened and cartilage tissue taken from other parts of the body can be placed in the nose. On the other hand, the patient’s nasal structure can be changed by shaping the nasal bones.

Reconstruction

Reconstruction surgeries, which we call reconstruction, are very complex and long-lasting surgeries. During this procedure, which is very difficult even for very experienced doctors, the lost or destroyed part of the nose is rebuilt. Bone tissues and cartilage tissues from other parts of the body are placed there. Anatomical structures are created by the surgeon. The surgery is completed by building a copy of the nose.

What Should I Pay Attention to Before Rhinoplasty?

The plastic surgeon performs delicate procedures in his surgery for the nose. He also aims to minimize bleeding as much as possible. For this, he creates the most ideal environment by using special medications during the operation. As there are things that the plastic surgeon should pay attention to, there are also situations that the patient should pay attention to before surgery. Here are the things you should pay attention to before rhinoplasty:

• It is very important for the patient to tell the plastic surgeon about his/her general health.
• In addition, if the patient is taking medications, he/she should tell the surgeon and anesthesiologist about them.
• Jewelry should be removed before surgery. The patient should remove makeup.
• Blood thinners should be stopped one week before the operation.
• If the patient is suffering from colds and flu, he/she should inform the plastic surgeon.
• Herbal teas can increase bleeding. Such drinks should not be drunk before surgery.
• Women should not prefer rhinoplasty operation while they are menstruating. The reason is that the menstrual period increases the edema that may occur after surgery.
• Smoking negatively affects the healing process. Therefore, smoking should be stopped before the operation.

What Should I Pay Attention to After Rhinoplasty?

Especially the patient should avoid situations that will increase blood pressure in the head area. He/she should also pay attention to traumas. In addition, he/she should stay away from activities that will negatively affect the nose. The things to be considered after rhinoplastysurgery are as follows:

• After the surgery, the patient should position his/her head as high as possible while lying down. Thus, it protects itself from traumas. It also reduces swelling.
• The patient should avoid foods and drinks that will dilute the blood. In addition, the patient should not take blood thinners such as aspirin.
• After the operation, the patient should stay away from normal activities for 10 days. He/she should completely avoid heavy sports for three weeks.
• The patient should be careful not to get the splints or plaster protecting the nose wet. For a certain period of time after the rhinoplasty, the patient should take a bath without washing the head.
• The patient should not wear glasses for the period specified by the plastic surgeon.
• It is important for the patient to sleep and eat regularly.
• Finally, the patient should brush his/her teeth softly and slowly. Thus, sensitivity does not occur at the base of the nose.

Are Nose Surgeries Painful?

In general, nose surgeries are not very painful. However, the most common misconception among people is that nose reshaping surgeries are painful. Swelling and bruises occur in the nose after the operation. Because of these side effects, people believe that such surgeries are painful.

In the past, there were cotton tampons used in nose reshaping surgery. There were sometimes problems when removing the tampons after surgery. Today, nose job is performed without these tampons.

Cotton tampons were sticking inside the patient’s nose. Therefore, there was bleeding during the removal process. Silicone tampons are now used in rhinoplasty surgeries. In other words, silicone tampons are removed without sticking to the nose. So, why do swelling and bruising occur after aesthetic nose operations?

• The cartilage and bone structure of the patient may cause side effects during the procedure.
• In addition, the gender and age of the patient can be counted among the reasons.
• The technique used by the plastic surgeon can cause swelling and bruising.
