Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical operation performed to make the nose more aesthetic and facilitate breathing. Depending on an impact on the nose or a congenital disability, people may not be satisfied with their nose shape. The bone structure in the nose can obstruct the airways, and this can make breathing difficult. In such cases, it is possible with Rhinoplasty surgery to have a more aesthetic nose structure that is compatible with the patient's facial features.

Rhinoplasty surgery can be applied both to improve the nose's aesthetic appearance and eliminate breathing problems depending on the nose structure. Thus, patients can have the nose structure of their dreams with a surgical operation.

How is Rhinoplasty Applied?

During the preliminary examination, the doctor decides whether the patient is suitable for Rhinoplasty surgery. In the clinical study, it is determined what kind of touches the patient's nose structure needs. If necessary, medical intervention can be performed on the cartilage tissue, nasal bone or skin layer.

While planning the surgery, the surgeon prioritizes the general lines of the face and makes a plan for the skin structure and wishes of the patient. Rhinoplasty is a specially designed surgery and is performed under general anaesthesia.

There is no order for Rhinoplasty surgery. The surgical process is determined according to the anatomy and physical needs of the patient. In Rhinoplasty surgery, a small incision is made inside the nose or between the holes just below the nose. The bone and cartilage tissue under the skin is reshaped if the person needs it. In some cases, bone removal from the nose may be required. If more than one tissue is intervened, the duration of the operation may be prolonged.

If cartilage tissue transfer is required to give an aesthetic appearance, cartilage can be taken from the patient's ears. This cartilage can be used in the nose bone. After completing all procedures, the surgeon ends the operation by suturing the incision area. Rhinoplasty surgery is an operation that requires expertise and needs to be performed with professional touches. The surgeon must be an expert in his field. Ameno Life brings together specialist doctors and patients under the same roof with the proper surgical interventions.

Process Before and After Rhinoplasty

There is a preparation process for Rhinoplasty surgery. In line with the doctor's recommendations, various drugs, such as blood thinners, can be avoided until two weeks before the surgery. The patient can continue to use the medicines recommended by the surgeon. It is also essential to avoid supplements, herbal teas or herbal medicines. Smoking should be avoided one week before and after the surgery. Since smoking can increase infection risk, it can negatively affect healing.

After Rhinoplasty surgery, there are many issues that the patient should comply with and pay attention to. Upon the surgery, the doctor places a tampon on the nose. One week after the surgery, the tampons are removed, and the stitches in the nose are removed. In the first week after the surgery, it is recommended to lie upright to reduce blood collection around the eyes and minimize swelling.

Patients can take a shower three days after the surgery, but care should be taken not to get the tampons wet. Wetting the tampons can cause an infection in the nose. With your doctor's recommendation, it is recommended to avoid strenuous aerobic sports for the first few weeks. Glasses should not be used in the first month after surgery. Contact lenses can be used instead of glasses. It is recommended to use sunscreen with factor 30 until the nose is fully healed. In case of excessive sun exposure, changes in nose colour and deformities may occur. Since it is vital that the nose does not get hit in the first three months, mass sports should be avoided. Individual sports should be preferred instead of these sports.
