Rhinoplasty

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY?

It is a surgical operation aimed at reducing the shape of the nose, eliminating deformities or treating problems such as respiratorial ones.

​

WHO CAN HAVE RHINOPLASTY?

• People over 18 years old with fully developed facial bones.

• People with congenital or subsequent nasal deformities.

• People having problems with nasal bones.

• People who have respiratory problems due to nasal structure.

 

WHICH TECHNIQUES ARE USED IN RHINOPLASTY?

CLOSED NOSE SURGERY

In this technique, the doctor makes an internal incision between the upper and lower cartilage to hide the cracks in the nose. This technique takes less time and a faster recovery time. 

General anesthesia is to be used.

​

OPEN NOSE SURGERY

In this technique, the doctor makes an external incision through a tube. This technique is used in case of deviations and obvious deformities.

General anesthesia is to be used.

​

PRE-RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURES

Consult your doctor in order to get the necessary tests before the operation.

• Stop smoking at least two weeks before the operation.

• Avoid consumption of coffee and stimulants before the operation as they may affect the anesthesia process negatively.

• Avoid drinking any alcohol before the operation.

• Avoid taking any blood-thinning medication before the operation.

• Take vitamin C for a while before the operation.

​

HOW DOES THE RHINOPLASTY PROCESS WORK?

1. General anesthesia is applied and doctors make incisions using one of two techniques, depending on the patient.

2. Shaping is considered the main stage of the Rhinoplasty process. Doctors reshape the nasal bones and cartilage as agreed with the patient prior to surgery.

3. At final stage, the doctor closes the incisions and puts on the nasal splint. 

 

Afte, all you need to do is wait for the perfect results.
 

AFTER-RHINOPLASTY PROCEDURES

• Take the medications and antibiotics prescribed by your doctor regularly to avoid any infection.

• Use cold water in order to reduce swelling.

• Avoid extreme activities until the wound is fully healed.

• Consume fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruit.

• Try to keep your head up for a few weeks after the surgery.

• Avoid smoking during the period recommended by your doctor.
