Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure aimed at changing the external appearance of the nose, and is sometimes a functional operation that corrects breathing problems. The nose is one of the most prominent features of the human face, and its shape influences facial expression. Therefore, rhinoplasty is not just a cosmetic procedure; it is a multifaceted operation that can lead to increased self-confidence and more comfortable breathing.
Who is it suitable for?
• Those who are unhappy with the shape of their nose
• Those whose nose has been deformed as a result of trauma
• Those with a congenital deformity, asymmetry, or a drooping nasal tip
• Those who have difficulty breathing through the nose
Consultation
• The surgeon examines the internal and external structure of the nose
• Complaints and expectations are discussed in detail
The Operation
• A small incision is made on the columella (the vertical column of tissue between the nostrils) and the skin is lifted to fully expose the internal structures (Open rhinoplasty).
• The cartilage and bone are precisely sculpted.
• A very minimal scar is left, which becomes almost invisible over time.
Recovery process
• Swelling and bruising around the nose are normal for the first week.
• The plaster on the nose is removed after 7 days.
• Most of the swelling subsides within the first month, but it takes up to a year for the nose to settle into its final shape.
• Exercise and strenuous physical activity are prohibited for one month.
