Rhinoplasty is a surgical or non-surgical procedure performed to correct the appearance of the nose, change the shape and size of the nose, and improve nasal functions.
Rhinoplasty is performed surgically in the form of an operation performed through incisions on the nose. In this surgery, the shape and size of the nose is changed by shaping the nasal bone and cartilage tissues. In addition, curvatures in the nose are corrected and the nostrils are reshaped.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures are performed using fillers. Fillers are injected to fill the hollows on the nose, raise the tip of the nose and change the shape of the nose. This procedure is less invasive than surgery and the postoperative recovery time is shorter.
The rhinoplasty procedure may vary according to factors such as the nose structure, skin type, age and health status of the person to be operated on. For this reason, it is important to consult a specialist doctor and make a detailed evaluation before the rhinoplasty procedure.
Rhinoplasty is generally suitable for people who are dissatisfied with the shape or size of the nose, have problems with nasal functions, have nasal deformity after nasal trauma or have congenital nasal deformity.
In the following cases, they may be suitable candidates for rhinoplasty:
– Those who are not satisfied with the shape and size of their nose: People who are not satisfied with the shape or size of their nose are suitable candidates for rhinoplasty.
– Those who have problems with nasal functions: People with problems such as nasal congestion, snoring or runny nose can improve their nasal function with rhinoplasty.
– Nasal deformities: People with nasal deformities can correct the shape of their nose with rhinoplasty and achieve a healthy appearance.
– Deformity after nasal trauma: People with nasal deformity after nasal trauma can restore their noses with rhinoplasty.
– However, it is important to consult a specialist surgeon to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty. The specialist surgeon will evaluate your health condition, nasal structure and your expectations and recommend the most appropriate treatment method for you.
The healing process after rhinoplasty surgery may vary depending on the surgical method.
However, in general, the healing process is as follows:
– First days: In the first days after surgery, there may be swelling, bruising and pain around the nose. There may also be bleeding in the nose.
– First week: During the first week, the bandages and tampons on the nose are removed. Swelling and bruising may continue during this period. Crusting and dryness in the nose may also be observed.
– First month: During the first month, swelling and bruising in the nasal area decrease. Crusting in the nose also disappears completely.
– First 3-6 months: During the first 3-6 months, the nasal bones and cartilage tissues heal and get used to their new shape. During this time, the changes in the shape of the nose are expected to finalize.
– First year: During the first year, symptoms such as loss of sensation in the nasal area, swelling around the nose and stiffness felt at the tip of the nose decrease. The healing process in the nasal area is completed.
After rhinoplasty surgery, it is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations and make regular checks during the healing process. It is also necessary to rest, eat healthy and avoid exercise to speed up the healing process.
