What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct nasal defects and achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Through rhinoplasty, the nose shape that best suits your facial features is created. During surgery, the forehead-nose root and lip-nose tip angles can be adjusted.

Rhinoplasty shapes not only your appearance but also your quality of life. Various conditions may underlie certain nasal deformities. Rhinoplasty effectively eliminates factors that obstruct breathing, such as nasal polyps and turbinate hypertrophy.

Who Can Have Rhinoplasty?

• Disproportionate nose size relative to the face
• Nasal tissue causing breathing difficulties
• Drooping nasal tip
• Curvature, collapse, or hump on the nasal bone
• Deformities resulting from nasal trauma
• Asymmetric nostrils

Closed Rhinoplasty

The closed technique allows aesthetic intervention without breaking the nose or leaving scars. This method offers shorter surgery and recovery times. The procedure is performed through the nasal mucosa.

Open Rhinoplasty

If closed technique is not suitable, your doctor may recommend open rhinoplasty. The middle section separating the nostrils is incised, providing detailed surgical access.

Post-Surgery Care

• Avoid excessively hot food and beverages
• Avoid leaning forward and heavy lifting
• Avoid blowing your nose
• Stay away from blood thinners such as aspirin
• Protect nasal splints and casts from water
