Rhinoplasty is among the aesthetic operations preferred by individuals who are not satisfied with their nose structure. The main purpose of rhinoplasty, which is also referred to as rhinoplasty in the medical language, is to correct the defects in the structure of the nose. Rhinoplasty operation, in which the current appearance of the nose is corrected, should be performed by expert and professional plastic surgeons in this field.

The nose is located in the middle of the face and attracts the most attention. In addition, the nose covers 1/3 of the face. The nose, which is an extremely important organ when its functions are examined and from an aesthetic point of view, also provides an increase in self-confidence in people by having a unique shape.

Why is Nose Aesthetics Performed?

A type of plastic surgery known as rhinoplasty is widely practiced all over the world to correct nasal deformities. Rhinoplasty is performed not only for deformities, but also to correct bone or cartilage curvatures that make breathing difficult and prevent breathing. The main purpose of rhinoplasty is to make the nose, which is not compatible with the patient’s facial structure, compatible with the facial structure, smooth and functional. Rhinoplasty is valid for patients who have completed body and bone development. People who have not completed their body and bone development cannot change their nose and face shape. Therefore, these people do not perform the operation. Today, rhinoplasty is performed for a more beautiful and aesthetic appearance than for medical purposes.

Nose Aesthetics Methods

Before rhinoplasty, doctors evaluate and research why the patient wants to have rhinoplasty. If the patient is thought to have a rhinoplasty surgery, some tests are applied to the patient. Two different techniques are used in rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is done in two ways, closed and open.

Closed Rhinoplasty

In rhinoplasty performed using the closed technique, 2 incisions are made in the lower part of the nose and the skin on the nose is removed. By removing the skin, the nasal bone is reached and nose correction is made accordingly. The most important advantage of closed rhinoplasty is less edema after surgery and a shorter recovery period. No tampon or plaster is used in the closed rhinoplasty technique. The nose is protected from damage with special splints and bands placed on the nose.

Open Rhinoplasty

In open rhinoplasty, incisions are made between the nostrils and thus corrections are made. After the operation of this technique, there are no scars on the nose. However, this technique is more difficult than the closed technique, and the doctor must be experienced for this technique.

Which Method Can Achieve More Successful Results?

The rhinoplasty method is not important. Because both techniques have their advantages. The choice of these techniques depends on the experience of the physician and the shape of the nose to be treated. The evaluation and decision of the physician before the operation will affect the outcome of the treatment. If you have decided to have rhinoplasty, you are looking for the best surgeon right away.

Things to Consider Before and After Nose Aesthetics

Nose surgery is a very sensitive operation. Therefore, there are some issues to be considered before these surgeries. You should stop using blood thinners before nose surgery. You should also take a break from alcohol and smoking. You may need to stop taking other medications if your doctor deems it necessary. In addition, the recovery process of nose surgery is very important.

Although the healing process varies according to the technique used, it is necessary to be careful in every technique. After rhinoplasty, a pinkish discharge may come from the nose. These flows are very normal and do not pose any danger. The most important point to be considered after nose surgery is to prevent the nose from being hit. A possible blow to your nose can have very dire consequences. You can reduce your pain by using painkillers against possible pain and edema.
