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.

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.
