Rhinoplasty

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or rhinoplasty, is the name given to surgical operations performed to change the shape of the nose.Reasons for having rhinoplasty include changing the physical appearance of the nose to repair deformities in an injury, or correcting a birth defect, or improving some breathing difficulties, making breathing easier. In some cases, both breathing difficulties and physical appearance may be among the reasons behind choosing the rhinoplasty option.

What is the Structure of the Nose?

The upper part of the nose consists of bone and the lower part consists of cartilage, covered with skin. It has an important place in the respiratory system.

What is the Cost of Rhinoplasty?

One of the factors that most affect the price of rhinoplasty is how experienced the doctor is. In addition, pricing includes items such as hospital selection, materials used and team expenses.

How is Rhinoplasty Performed?

Rhinoplasty can change bone, cartilage tissue, skin layer or all three as deemed necessary. When planning rhinoplasty, the rhinoplasty surgeon will consider other features of the individual’s face, the skin on the nose, and what the individual wants to change. Candidates who are deemed suitable for nose surgery will develop a personalized plan for them.As with all major surgeries, rhinoplasty carries various risks. In major surgeries, the risks of infection, bleeding, and a negative reaction to anesthesia are always present.

There are also separate risks specific to rhinoplasty. These include difficulty in breathing through the nose, permanent numbness in and around the nose, uneven appearance, pain, discoloration or permanent swelling, scarring, septum perforation, and the need for additional surgical intervention.

Detailed information about these risks is conveyed by the nose surgeon to individuals considering the rhinoplasty stage. Before proceeding to the nose aesthetic planning stage, a meeting is held between the doctor and the individual considering the rhinoplasty stage to determine whether the surgical operation will be effective.

In this interview, the medical history of the individual is revealed. The most important question the doctor will ask is about the motivation and goals of the individual for surgery. At this stage, the most important detail for the latest results to be as desired is the expression of wishes and goals in a completely honest manner.

The surgeon will clearly express to the nose aesthetic candidate what rhinoplasty can and cannot gain for him. It will then collect information about nasal congestion, past surgeries and medications used. Individuals with a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia may not be candidates for rhinoplasty.

During this process, the doctor will perform a complete physical examination, including laboratory tests such as blood tests. In addition, the nose will examine the facial features of the candidate and the inside and outside of the nose.

This makes it possible to determine what changes need to be made and how physical characteristics such as skin thickness or cartilage durability at the tip of the nose may affect the results. Physical examination is also important to determine the effect of rhinoplasty on breathing.

Photographs of the nose can be taken and the photographs can be intervened by the surgeon with the help of a computer to show what kind of results are possible. The nose surgeon will also use these photographs for long-term examinations with reference during surgery, during the evaluations for before and after.

If the individual has a small jaw, the surgeon may talk to the rhinoplasty candidate about having surgery to enlarge his jaw as well. Because a small chin will create the illusion of a bigger nose. In these cases, it is not necessary to have jaw surgery, but a better balance in the facial profile can be revealed.

After nose surgery, it is usually possible to leave the hospital on the same day. Especially if the surgery is to be performed on an outpatient basis, it is important to have a person to help you return home.

During the first few days after anesthesia, memory loss, slow reaction time, and decision-making difficulties may occur. Therefore, it may be helpful for a friend or family member to stay with the individual who has had surgery for one or two nights to help with the post-surgery.

Preparations Before Rhinoplasty

It is necessary to avoid medications two weeks before surgery. These types of medications can increase bleeding. Only medications approved or prescribed by the nose surgeon should be used.In addition, herbal remedies, natural remedies and supplement products should be avoided. It is necessary to stop smoking or take a break. Smoking slows down the healing process after surgery and increases the likelihood of infection.

What Happens During Nose Surgery

Rhinoplasty does not have a series of sequential stages. Each operation is personalized for the unique anatomy and goals of the person undergoing surgery. Depending on how complicated the surgery is, the surgery may require local anesthesia or general anesthesia with sedation. This decision will be made before the operation.Local anesthesia with sedation is usually used in the outpatient process. Its effect is limited to a specific area of the body. The medical team injects a pain medication into the nasal tissues and soothes them with drugs injected intravenously (IV) intravenously through a line. This doesn’t put the person to sleep, but it makes them sleepy.

During general anesthesia, the drug, i.e. the anesthetic, is taken by inhalation or through an IV line placed in a vein in the chest. General anesthesia affects the whole body and keeps the individual unconscious during surgery. A breathing tube is also required for general anesthesia.

Surgical intervention during rhinoplasty is through a small external incision made in the nose or between the nostrils just below the nose. The bone and cartilage under the skin will be readjusted by the nose surgeon according to the targeted results.

The form of the nasal bones or cartilage can be altered in several ways by the surgeon depending on the structure of the nose and the material available, with how much should be removed from the nasal tissue or how attachments should be made.

If the wall between the two holes of the nose, i.e. the septum, is bent or twisted, this place can be corrected by the surgeon to correct breathing. However, this operation is different from rhinoplasty and is called septoplasty.

For minor changes, the surgeon may use cartilage taken from deeper points of the nose or the ear. Larger changes can use implants, ribs, or cartilage in other parts of your body. With the completion of these changes, the surgeon places the skin and tissue of the nose back and sutures the incisions opened.

After the operation, the individual’s recovery is monitored by the health personnel. Under normal circumstances, it is possible to leave on the same day, but it is possible to stay in the hospital overnight if there are other health complications.
