What is Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Simply, rhinoplasty means plastic surgery on the nose for both cosmetic and functional purposes. It is popularly known as a nose job, the procedure performed to change the nose’s shape, size, or functionality. It is an all-around operation suitable for both cosmetic purposes and breathing difficulties.

The process involves altering the nose’s bone, cartilage, and skin to obtain this outcome. In cosmetic rhinoplasty, the purpose is to improve the appearance of the nose, which may involve reducing its size, reshaping the tip, or correcting asymmetry. With functional rhinoplasty, it is possible to improve the shape of the nose and correct the structural disorders to prevent proper breathing. This operation is also known as septorhinoplasty.

In short, any rhinoplasty nose procedure is intended to create an objective that blends in well as a feature close to the patient’s face. It not only beautifies the face in general but also enhances facial harmony and increases airflow during breathing. This leads to the patients’ improved self-confidence and happiness.

How Rhinoplasty Is Done?

Rhinoplasty operation is generally carried out using general anesthesia. It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery. There are two primary techniques: closed and open rhinoplasty. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions hidden internally in the nostrils to minimize visible scarring. Instead, an open rhinoplasty operation includes one additional cut across the columella, which is a small area between nostrils.

The excess tissue is trimmed in the process, and the nasal structures are sculpted to accomplish the desired appearance. The source of cartilage may be from various places on the body. Additionally, with rhinoplasty, functional issues, including a deviated septum or obstructed airways, can be overcome.

After the Rhinoplasty in Turkey, patients are monitored in a recovery room before discharge. Instruction is given by our health partners in Istanbul after the surgery to assist in healing. With rhinoplasty operation, patients have visual progress and improved nasal function, leading to increased confidence and well-being.

What Is Non Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty, or liquid Rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic technique using dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, to temporarily transform the nose’s shape. It is an efficient and safe way to create a new-looking nose. Non-surgical Rhinoplasty is a convenient and reasonably safe method of minor nose adjustments without surgery. 

Rhinoplasty without surgery is on an outpatient basis. It is also possible to achieve a ski slope nose with non-surgical rhinoplasty methods. However, even if it is a non-surgical method, it should be done by experienced experts to achieve the best outcome and desired results.

The whole procedure is about 15 – 30 minutes long, and most patients can return to normal activities the same day. There is nearly no rhinoplasty recovery time. Both patients and doctors are pleased with the outcomes, though the effect wears out within six months or less in most cases.

Is Rhinoplasty Dangerous?

Thanks to technological advances, highly sensitive equipment is used in rhinoplasty surgeries today. This paves the way for rhinoplasty to be a more risk-free surgery day by day. One of the critical points in rhinoplasty surgery is the surgeon’s experience. Thanks to the expert surgeon and accomplished surgery team in our partner clinic in Istanbul, the risks of rhinoplasty surgery Turkey are minimized. However, even if it is a highly safe surgery, it should not be forgotten that rhinoplasty is an operation requiring general anesthesia.

Like every operation, there are some risks associated with nose jobs in Turkey. Some of these risks are related to anesthesia, and some are related to the operation. These risks include bleeding, infection, difficulty in nasal breathing, persistent numbness inside and outside of the nose, septal perforation, long-term pain, skin discoloration or swelling, or asymmetry. The surgeon’s experience plays an active role in a significant part of these risks. Our medical team in Istanbul is highly experienced and has had many successful surgeries. You can be sure that an expert team in a clinic with advanced technological equipment will perform your female or male rhinoplasty with minimal risk.

Is Rhinoplasty Painful?

Since rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, patients do not feel the slightest pain or ache during the operation. After the operation, painkillers are prescribed by the specialist surgeon who operated so that patients can have a comfortable recovery period. Thanks to the cold compresses and painkillers that are applied regularly after the operation, the postoperative recovery process is also highly comfortable. Some patients may experience mild pain in and around the nose for a few days in recovery time for rhinoplasty. Still, this sensation will disappear spontaneously in a short time.

In order to have a painless and highly comfortable rhinoplasty healing time, it is essential to follow our surgeon’s recommendations entirely after surgery. Suppose you fail to follow the doctor’s recommendations in this process. In that case, it will not only lead to a problematic recovery process but also cause the effects of the surgery to be far from the desired results.

Does Rhinoplasty Last Forever?

The effects of rhinoplasty surgery are permanent. There are no changes in the shape of your nose after surgery unless there is a significant trauma or a similar situation. However, with aging over time, the effects of aging are seen on the nose and around the nose. Although aging does not affect the shape of the nose and the appearance obtained as a result of rhinoplasty, it can cause the skin on the nose to wrinkle or have other effects over time.

In addition, if the desired result cannot be obtained from the first surgery or for various other reasons, deformities in the nose can be corrected with revision nose jobs in Turkey. In order for patients to have the desired appearance after surgery and for this effect to be permanent, they must fulfill all postoperative care steps by the specialist physician during rhinoplasty healing time and protect their noses from impacts. Briefly, both female and male rhinoplasty can last forever.

What Is Liquid Rhinoplasty?

Liquid Rhinoplasty, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty, is the process of temporarily changing the shape of the nose with biocompatible fillers applied under the skin. Liquid rhinoplasty applications do not provide permanent results or dramatic changes like surgical rhinoplasty. However, it is an essential alternative for patients who do not need significant changes in their noses, who do not have a deviation in the nasal septum that prevents breathing, who are afraid of surgery, or who do not want permanent changes. Liquid rhinoplasty results can last up to two years, depending on the procedure performed and the amount of filler applied.

Liquid Rhinoplasty is an ideal method, especially for patients who have a thin nose and need to gain volume, want to highlight the tip of the nose, and wish to have a bumpy appearance to have a flatter appearance. In this application, natural fillers such as hyaluronic acid, which are already present in the body, are used. In this way, the risk of allergy is also shallow. Moreover, patients can continue their daily lives immediately after the application. Moreover, there is no prolonged recovery period. Liquid rhinoplasty results may have been noticeable shortly after the application and can last nearly two years.

Does Rhinoplasty Leave Scars?

Since most rhinoplasty surgeries are performed inside the nose, there are usually no visible rhinoplasty scars. This is why the closed technique is preferred. However, even if the open method is applied, the only scar seen from the outside is the scar caused by the opening between the nostrils, which fades away in time. Our experts in Istanbul prefer a close technique if possible. Nowadays, the open method is performed less frequently to accomplish no scars after rhinoplasty. Closed Rhinoplasty in Turkey is done through tiny incisions inside the nostril. The skin is separated by the cartilage, and the reshaping of the cartilage is performed through these incisions.

Does Rhinoplasty Change Your Face?

Generally, visual change depends on the patient’s needs and desires. This change may also vary depending on the operation performed. In rhinoplasty surgeries for aesthetic purposes, the appearance and shape of the nose are harmonized with the rest of the face. Similarly, in functional rhinoplasty surgeries, in addition to providing the function of the nose, it is also harmonized with the face. Before the Rhinoplasty in Turkey, our experienced partners took patients’ photos from eight different angles to show how the nose would look after surgery. Before the operation of Rhinoplasty Istanbul, you can discuss your wishes with our expert surgeon and explain both your functional and visual wishes to achieve the best outcome. However, it may take up to a year after surgery and rhinoplasty recovery time for the nose to take its final shape.

Can Rhinoplasty Help Breathing?

The shape of the nose and septum can cause breathing problems. The underlying causes of breathing problems can be the natural shape of the noise, congenital abnormalities, or trauma. With functional rhinoplasty surgery Turkey, it is possible to correct the shape of the nose and improve its function. Patients can breathe properly through their nose after rhinoplasty healing time. Some problems like deviated septum, facial fractures, broken nose, nasal polyps, and crooked nose may have caused breathing problems. With Rhinoplasty surgery Turkey, it is possible to overcome all these problems causing improper breathing.

Who Might Want to Get Rhinoplasty?

Anyone over 18 years of age can have nose jobs in Turkey. Rhinoplasty surgery is possible for anyone who is in good general health and does not have any health obstacles to undergo surgery. Some people have to get Rhinoplasty in Turkey to treat a dysfunctional nose. Rhinoplasty Istanbul surgery is necessary to treat various causes, such as the inability to breathe properly due to the shape of the nose, nasal polyps, deviated septum, or too large nostrils. Bone development and nasal anatomy must usually be complete for rhinoplasty surgery. However, in cases where the nose does not fulfill its function and surgery is necessary, rhinoplasty surgery can be performed on people under the age of 18.

What Are the Risks of Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is considered a safe operation in general. But like all other surgeries performed under general anesthesia, it has some risks. Some risks of rhinoplasty come from the effects of anesthesia. Some risks are involved during surgery, and some are longer-term.

The main immediate risks of rhinoplasty are:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Bad reaction to anesthesia
• Problems breathing through the nose

Some of the short-term risks may occur between days or weeks after the Rhinoplasty in Turkey. Most of these risks are temporary and subside with proper care. Possible short-term risks are;

• Breathing difficulties
• Minor nosebleeds
• Temporary numbness in and around the nose
• Mild pain
• Temporary skin discoloration
• Mild swelling

There are also long-term risks. These generally occur weeks to months after the surgery. The primary long-term risks of rhinoplasty are:

• Septal perforation
• Unsatisfactory appearance
• Uneven nostrils
• Temporary change in the sense of smell

The risks above may cause a myth that the operation is too risky. However, the probability of encountering these risks is relatively low.

Types of Rhinoplasty

There are different types of rhinoplasty. Every technique has a distinct method and an advantage point. Closed rhinoplasty is one of the forms of rhinoplasty that involves incisions being made inside the nostrils and with no visible external scars left behind. Open Rhinoplasty also requires a different incision across the columella to provide maximum surgical exposure. Ski slope surgery, on the contrary, is a technique that aims for a chiseled and slightly convex profile. Another type of rhinoplasty is called revision rhinoplasty. It is used to correct the problems from previous operations, whether for improved functionality or modification in cosmetic enhancement.

On the other hand, septoplasty aims to straighten the patient’s nose to help the patient breathe smoothly. Turbinate reduction is also a remedy and eliminates the congestion originating with enlarged nasal turbinates. However, tip plasty may be applied to reshape and improve the projection of the nasal tip, which is consequently achieved with the desired satisfactory results. All types of rhinoplasties are patient-specific and designed to address individual needs and a patient’s desired outcome for cosmetic or corrective purposes.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open-nose rhinoplasty is one of the main methods of rhinoplasty. To perform the open-nose rhinoplasty, a surgeon makes an additional incision across the columella. It is possible to make significant nose reshaping with the open nose technique. From the incision made to the columella, the surgeon separates the skin from the bone and cartilage of the nose and can see the nose anatomy clearly. However, it also has some downsides compared to the close technique. This is why our health experts prefer closed instead of open rhinoplasty Turkey.

Closed Rhinoplasty

Endonasal Rhinoplasty, commonly known as closed rhinoplasty, is a type of rhinoplasty surgery in which the whole procedure is done through tiny incisions inside the nostrils. Closed nose jobs in Turkey are becoming more popular thanks to their advantages. Closed vs open rhinoplasty comparison offers both advantages and disadvantages to the patients. With the closed technique, rhinoplasty healing time is relatively low compared to the open one. Rhinoplasty recovery time is also more comfortable. The difference between closed and open rhinoplasty is scarring. In the closed technique, there is no external scarring like in the open technique. Since it is less invasive than the open technique, our experienced medical partners in Istanbul prefer closed rhinoplasty.

Ski Slope Nose

A ski slope nose mainly changes the tip of the nose. It involves shaping the nose bridge into a gentle downward slope before curving upward at the tip. Since the nose’s shape resembles a ski jump’s profile, it is called a Ski Slope Nose. This visual alteration enhances facial harmony and creates a delicate, refined appearance for eligible patients. Typically, the procedure involves inner incisions to adjust cartilage and tissue, sculpting the nose tip, and reducing the bridge. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, there is no manipulation of the nasal bones in ski slope nose rhinoplasty. Thus, this not only minimizes the bruising but also minimizes the post-operation swelling. It is also possible to achieve a perfect ski slope nose with fillers. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, non-surgical slope nose procedures are also possible. Patients can have a ski slope nose in minutes, and this appearance may last up to two years.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a type of surgery that corrects issues from previous nose jobs. This corrective procedure can address both visual and functional concerns. It is regarded as one of the most demanding plastic surgeries. Undesired outcomes of the last surgery, like asymmetry, hump in the dorsal line, and breathing difficulties, can be improved by revision rhinoplasty. The complexity of revision rhinoplasty requires careful consideration of techniques to use. The revision rhinoplasty healing time is also considerably longer than the first surgery. It has to be performed by experts to gather the best outcome for both functionality and appearance. If you have a history like this, you can have a revision rhinoplasty Turkey. Our skilled partners in Istanbul can correct nasal deformities while protecting the utmost nasal function.

Septoplasty

Septoplasty is a functional rhinoplasty that corrects a deviated septum. The septum is a wall of bone and cartilage covered with mucous that separates the nostrils. A deviated septum blocks one side of the nose, resulting in improper breathing. During septoplasty, our experienced surgeon repositions the septum to the center of the nose. Treating a deviated septum significantly improves life quality and makes it possible. Septoplasty Turkey is considered a relatively minor and low-risk surgery. Septoplasty recovery is also more comfortable than other types of rhinoplasty.

Turbinate Surgery

The turbinate operation aims to resolve chronic nasal congestion due to the size of the inferior nasal turbinates. These structures regulate the airflow through the nose. Still, they can be swollen and inflamed due to problems such as allergies, irritation, or infection. The turbinate operation is performed under general anesthesia. It can also be combined with other rhinoplasty types, like septoplasty. Depending on the condition of the nose, all of the turbinates or only the lower turbinates are removed.

Tipplasty

Tip plasty, alternatively known as tip rhinoplasty or nasal tip plasty, is a cosmetic surgery that enhances and reshapes the nose tip. In contrast to the whole nose job, tip plasty only involves the cartilage and skin at the tip of the nose. For patients with a nose shape close to the ideal but still want to change the shape of the nose tip, fix curvature, enlargement, roughness, or any other irregularity, tip plasty is the ideal solution. With the best rhinoplasty Turkey option, patients can have a tip correction with the all-inclusive packages of Beauty Travels 24.
