Who wouldn’t like to have the nose they have dreamt of and to get it. And this is why aesthetic nose surgeries, in other words, rhinoplasty surgeries are among the most performed surgeries in the world. In order to call rhinoplasty surgery a success, it is necessary to attain a natural-looking nose that contributes to the harmony of the face that is in integrity and consistent with the facial features of the patient. A natural looking nose produces an appearance that makes a difference on the face but does not cause a feeling that this difference is due to the nose.
Firstly, the expectations are established by discussing mutually and information is given about what can be done for a successful nose surgery.
Then, a very approximate form of nose that is unique and intended is studied using digital imaging methods and discussion is made on how the operated nose will possibly look. Later on, the surgery, yes, the day of surgery is the day when the excitement is in the air and we calm your down and help you to the surgery in the most comfortable way. (We hold your hand and give you sedative medication.) and as you count down from 10 upon entrusting yourself to us, we get on with our work in constructing the nose agreed.
The operation ends when I say, “I did my best achieving everything I planned to and I have no hesitation” as a surgeon.
It will be good for you to stay in the hospital for one night following the operation. Then you will have a silicone splint in your nose and a thermoplastic nasal support on it for about a week. When the splints and supports are removed, a special tape will be applied and this tape will be used for a couple few weeks for proper reduction of the edema. 80% of the swellings on your nose will go away upon completion of the first month. The remaining 20% will be formed in a period of six months to one year, which we call the settlement of the nose. However, people will not distinguish if there is any swelling on your face after one month following the operation. It will be kept as a secret between you and your surgeon, known by two of us only. It can be said that healing process of your nose is completed if you feel the same as before whenever you touch your nose and when the softness of your nose is restored.
Are Male Rhinoplasty and Female Rhinoplasty Any Different?
Today, men are also highly interested in plastic surgery operations. Rhinoplasty surgeries are among the plastic surgery operations preferred by both women and men. ⠀
While some of the men who have rhinoplasty surgery have it done because of respiratory and bone issues while a large part of them prefer it for aesthetic purposes. ⠀
The extent and approach differ between men and women in case of rhinoplasty surgery. A retrousse nose and an inward curved nose application in women would cause a feminine appearance in men; therefore, the nasal tip should not be curved and the ridge should be straight in ideal male rhinoplasty.
In rhinoplasty, where racial attributes also play an important role, the large and arched nose structure in men in our society is also has a downward sloping structure in general. The variability of the understanding of beauty needs to be taken into account and the harmony with the patient’s face and natural appearance shall be aimed rather than the general taste in the planning of both female and male rhinoplasty.
What Is Composite Rhinoplasty?
Composite Rhinoplasty is the application of fat injection or filler injection together with rhinoplasty in cases where rhinoplasty operation is insufficient, in case of people with a thinner skin structure inside and around the nose. ⠀
In Composite Rhinoplasty, fat injection or filling procedure which provides thickening of the skin and eliminating the tissue deficiency in people with insufficient and thin nasal tissue due to trauma or congenital anomaly, can be performed together with rhinoplasty operation. ⠀ ⠀
The aim here is to provide a visual image of the nasal ridge silhouette along with the silhouette descending to the brow curve in order to preserve the integrity of the skin.
How Many Types of Rhinoplasty Are There?
Aesthetic nose surgeries, or rhinoplasty as it is called in medicine, is the most preferred surgical procedure to correct nose deformation issues. The nose can be reduced or enlarged, the shape of the nasal tip and the nasal ridge can be modified, the nostrils and its circumference can be contracted, the angle between the nose root and the forehead or between the nasal tip and the upper lip can be changed through rhinoplasty operations. Rhinoplasty Aesthetics operation can be performed using two different techniques:⠀
Open Rhinoplasty and Closed Rhinoplasty.
Open Rhinoplasty is a technique performed by making a small incision in the skin between the nostrils and lifting the nasal skin making the nasal skeleton visible. ⠀ ⠀
In Closed Rhinoplasty, surgery is performed directly through the nostrils. These two techniques are quite different from each other. In the Closed Rhinoplasty technique, all incisions are made inside the nose and do not produce a scar on the nasal tip. This technique is mostly used to eliminate and correct nasal ridge and nasal tip problems. ⠀
In Closed Rhinoplasty, the cartilages in the nasal tip are less traumatized, therefore, it offers has a higher aesthetic achievement and has a shorter recovery period. ⠀ ⠀
The reason for preferring Open Rhinoplasty can be nasal revisions and correction of the septum shifts.
Is There an Ideal Age for Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is an operation that is applied both in terms of aesthetics and health concerns. Rhinoplasty operations, which have become much easier thanks to developing technologies and medical advancements in this field, are drawing increased attention day by day. ⠀ ⠀
Rhinoplasty may sometimes be needed due to aesthetic purposes and sometimes anatomical problems. In addition to aesthetic concerns such as arched, long ridges, low nose tip or large nostrils, asymmetry issues; structural and functional problems in the nose prevent the patient having a full functional breathing. ⠀ ⠀
Rhinoplasty takes bone and cartilage development as basis rather than the age. As it shall be ensured that the musculoskeletal system is sufficiently developed, the bone development of the child has to be completed in case of rhinoplasty operations. While there are no upper limits in plastic surgery, anesthesia and other complications shall be taken into consideration in the older ages and depending on the health status. Every individual, either male or female, who has completed musculoskeletal development and is in good health, can easily opt for a nose surgery operation for aesthetic or anatomical reasons. ⠀
