It is suitable for the people listed below to have rhinoplasty. In other cases, our specialist doctors make a decision by evaluating.

  • Those who have health problems such as snoring or sleep apnoea, who breathe inadequately or cannot breathe at all through the nose after trauma and disorders in the internal structure of the nose
  • Those who experience loss of self-confidence due to nose deformity
  • Those who are aesthetically dissatisfied with their nose
  • Those who are not satisfied with the previous aesthetic operation

Which Techniques Are Used in Rhinoplasty?

There are 3 techniques of rhinoplasty operation. These are closed surgery, open surgery and nose surgery with piezo device, which is popular recently. It is possible to briefly explain these techniques as follows.

Closed Surgery: In this technique, which is applied through the nostrils, no incision is made and no scars such as stitch marks are encountered. It is the generally used method. Skin and soft tissue are less damaged. For this reason and also because there is no incision, the healing process is faster.

Open surgery: It is preferred especially in cases such as advanced bone shifts, curvatures, deformities. In the operation, which is performed by cutting the nose in an inverted V-shape, the bone and cartilage tissue is directly intervened and also the detected structural problems are eliminated and a healthy and aesthetic nose structure is provided.

Surgery with Piezo Device: Piezo device provides shaping with sound waves without damaging the soft tissues, nerves and vessels of the nose. It is especially used in cases where bone and side walls need to be shaped. With this device, both the operation process is shortened and you can spend the postoperative period more comfortably.

Of the 3 techniques for rhinoplasty, our specialist doctors decide the most suitable one for the patient according to the desired nose shape, the current condition of the nose and the process afterwards.

What is the Operation Process?                                                                   

The process starts with the application of people who have complaints about the deformity of their nose to our clinic. Our patients are examined by a specialist doctor and their current conditions are determined. By listening to the patient's complaints and expectations, the most appropriate operation process is determined for the person.

Things to Consider After Rhinoplasty

We can list the issues to be considered after rhinoplasty as follows. The nasal area should always be kept hygienic. The nose and its surroundings should be protected against impacts and traumas.

  • Bruising and swelling may occur around the nose and under the eyes. In such cases, it can be reduced in a short time with ice application.
  • Splint and silicone tampon should be used for the first 1 week.
  • After the operation, the silicone tampon should be cleaned correctly and kept open.
  • Sports that require close contact should be avoided for the first month.
  • People who wear glasses should not wear glasses for 6 months after the operation if possible. If they will use them, they should prefer the lightest glasses.
  • Weight lifting should be avoided in the first week after the operation.
  • One month after the operation, you should stay away from going to the sea, pool and bath, sauna, solarium and sunbathing.
  • Postoperative controls should be performed at intervals determined by the doctor and these controls should not be interrupted.
