Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, known in medical literature as rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct the shape, size or function of the nose. This operation is preferred to improve the general appearance of the nose, eliminate respiratory problems or achieve both purposes. Rhinoplasty offers both aesthetic and functional results, allowing the person to achieve a more natural nose structure that is more compatible with their facial features. Rhinoplasty can be performed for different purposes such as correcting the hump of the nose, reshaping the tip of the nose, reducing the nostrils, narrowing the width of the nose or reshaping the nose in general. This operation is usually performed under general anesthesia and the duration of the operation varies between 1-3 hours depending on the procedures performed. Rhinoplasty is carefully planned to achieve a natural and aesthetic nose structure that is suitable for the person's facial features. A detailed evaluation and planning process with the doctor before the surgery is very important. During this process, the most appropriate surgical technique is determined by taking into account the patient's expectations, facial anatomy, skin type and the current condition of the nose. The recovery process after the surgery usually lasts 1-2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal in the first few days, but these will decrease over time. It may take several months for the results to be fully seen. When rhinoplasty is performed by a specialist surgeon, satisfactory results can be achieved both aesthetically and functionally. However, as with any surgical procedure, there may be risks and complications in rhinoplasty, so it is important to obtain detailed information about these risks before surgery.
