Glance to Rhinoplasty

What is rhinoplasty in Turkey?

Rhinoplasty, known also as a nose job, is a surgery in aesthetic surgery to change the shape of the nose. It is done by plastic surgeons or ear, nose, and throat doctors. It is often done to correct breathing difficulties, reconstruct the injured part, or just improve the looks of the nose. People with asymmetrical nasal septums, humps in the nasal bridge, or those who want a better balance of their facial structure usually get a rhinoplasty procedure.

The satisfaction rate for this procedure is normally high; a lot of patients have achieved their goals. Secondary or revision rhinoplasty is additional surgery when the first surgery has not given the desired outcome, or when some issues arise. In its performance, the patient is usually not in pain since the whole surgery is conducted under anesthesia, but the patient might be in a little discomfort in the rhinoplasty recovery process.

What are the benefits of rhinoplasty surgery?

Rhinoplasty is a procedure that helps to make significant changes in terms of the aesthetics of the face and also health. It changes the size and shape of the nose and makes the two sides of the nose more aligned which helps build self-esteem. From a health viewpoint, it sets right the parts of the structure that may be aching and causing difficulty in breathing thus providing much-needed relief.

From my patients, I have noticed that they have improved sleep and fewer cases of snoring after surgery which improves their quality of life. The emotional advantages, however, are not less important as the appearance of the face is likely to cause a change in a person's social relations and his or her self-esteem.

In my practice as a plastic surgeon, patients who have undergone the surgery mentioned relish their new look, smile frequently, and demonstrate higher levels of satisfaction with their appearance. It just goes to show that the enhancement of the appearance and functionality of the nose is a rewarding overall experience that is life-altering for many patients who undergo rhinoplasty in Turkey.

Who are good candidates for rhinoplasty?

In my practice, many patients come with different conditions and reasons for the surgery. People with structural abnormalities comprising of a deviated septum that makes it hard for one to breathe, are the most benefited by this kind of operation. Children born with cleft palate, nasal masses, or other deformities also receive a considerable boost in the function and aesthetics of their nose.

Those who had previous injuries that affected their nasal structures and their functionality also have some improvements. Those who want surgery to fix their looks, or those who feel their nose is too big, too small, or just not to their liking, find themselves more socially relaxed. Individuals with aging effects on the nasal structure and breathing Receive rejuvenation through the nose job Turkey. Lastly, those who suffer from chronic nasal congestion or breathing disorders that do not respond to medication feel a lot of relief after the procedure.

What to do before rhinoplasty surgery

The following are some significant measures that patients must adhere to before undergoing the surgery:

• First, you should set a visit plastic surgeon to identify such conditions that can affect your surgery in the mouth.
• Subsequently, inform your surgeon about your expectations and what kind of change you desire to see.
• You should give info to your surgeon about your medications. For example, quit your blood thinning drugs telling your doctor to avoid rhinoplasty side effects of excessive blood loss.
• Do not smoke and abstain from alcohol as it causes decreased immune function and circulation which is needed for healing of wounds.
• Aside from this, you should give up eating 10 hours before the surgery to prevent complications regarding the administration of anesthesia.

Rhinoplasty surgery procedure

Rhinoplasty procedure steps are given below:

Anesthesia

Surgery requires that you be put to sleep and the anesthetic will provide this advantage together with pain control during the surgery. This can be general -- it makes you sleep during the operation -- or local with sedation that makes the area stiff and you relaxed.

Rhinoplasty Incisions

Open Rhinoplasty: The surgery involves making a small cut on the columella which is the piece of tissue separating the two nostrils. It affords a better view and approach to the nasal structures than the anatomical position.

Closed Rhinoplasty: Anetomy and other surgical operations that require cutting the skin are done inside the nostrils. This method is relatively safe and does not pose scars or other forms of conspicuousness.

Reshaping the Nose Structure

Finally, the surgeon either takes out or moves the bone and cartilage to create the proper contour. This may entail a reduction of a hump, reduction of the width of the nasal bridge, changes to the nasal tip, or changes to the size of the nostrils.

Correcting Deviations and Structural Issues

If there are any anatomical abnormalities like the septum that is deviated, these are set right to end the breathing problems. The septum can be deviated and internal structures might be maneuvered to improve air passage.

Grafts

Sometimes autogenous chondrocytes are employed for reconstructive purposes in terms of providing shape and rigidity. They may be taken from the septum, ear, or rib according to the changes to be made.

Closing the Incisions

After that, the incisions are sutured and the reshaping process is over as well as the stem cell procedure. In the case of an open approach, the skin incisions are made along the columella and then it is sutured. In the closed rhinoplasty, the stitches are therefore placed inside the nasal structure.

Applying Dressings and Splints

This is to ensure that the nose takes the new shape as required and a splint is placed on the external part of the nose. At times, internal splints or nasal packs are applied to maintain the position and support the septum and other internal structures.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Secondary rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty is surgery carried out to fix or enhance a primary rhinoplasty surgical procedure. It may be necessary if the cosmetic outcome is poor, patients have breathing issues, or there is a bridge that has caved in. This procedure is somewhat more involved because of the scarring and the anatomical changes that have taken place as a result of the first surgery. It frequently calls for fine-tuning and a certain amount of transplants from other areas of the body to accomplish this. However, it is understood that revision rhinoplasty can enhance not only the aesthetic but also the functional aspects of patients' noses, which could be better for them.

What to do after rhinoplasty surgery?

• Use Pain Medications as Prescribed: Take the prescribed painkillers even if they do not need to be used for more than a limited number of days.
• Avoid Crowded Places: Avoid close contact with other people to minimize occasions that lead to accidents or other infections.
• Avoid Lifting Children or Heavy Objects: Children or heavy objects should not be lifted to avoid stressing your healing nose.
• Refrain from Strenuous Exercise: Do not do sports or exercises that may raise blood pressure and flow in the nose since it may cause inflammation.
• Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: It may also be advisable not to take alcohol or cigarettes because they are also enemies of the healing process and gradually weaken the immune system.
• Follow Medication Instructions: If you had to stop any medication before the surgery, recommence that medication only with the consent of your surgeon.
• Take Light Walks: Have some light walking to avoid immobility and at the same time avoid exerting oneself.
• Perform Recommended Nose Massages: It is also advisable to follow your surgeon's instructions when it comes to the times when nose massages help in the right manner.
