Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure that aims to enhance the appearance and functionality of the nose. Whether you’re looking to correct a nasal deformity, improve breathing, or simply enhance your facial harmony, rhinoplasty offers a transformative solution. On this page, we’ll delve into the details of this popular cosmetic surgery.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping or reconstructing the nose to improve its appearance and function. The surgery can address a range of concerns, including reducing or augmenting the size of the nose, refining the nasal tip, straightening a crooked nose, or adjusting the nostril shape.
Procedure Overview:
1. Consultation: A comprehensive consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to discuss your goals, evaluate your nasal structure, and determine the best approach for your specific needs. If you are not living in Turkey, you may do a free online consultation with Dr. Karabekmez. 3D simulation of rhinoplasty with Crisalix will help you decide what you can expect from the surgery and help the surgeon to understand what you want.
2. Anesthesia: Rhinoplasty can be performed under general anesthesia.
3. Incisions: The surgeon will make discreet incisions, typically inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils) with additional internal incisions (open rhinoplasty). The choice of technique depends on the individual case.
4. Reshaping the Nose: Through the incisions, the surgeon will access the underlying bone, cartilage, and soft tissues of the nose. They will then reshape and sculpt these structures to achieve the desired outcome. This may involve removing excess tissue, adjusting the bone structure, or adding grafts for augmentation. Decreasing the level of the nasal ridge, improving the projection and definition of the nasal tip, solving any problems related to breathing if exist, septal deviation correction, and narrowing the nasal root can be counted the procedures that can be done during surgery.
5. Closing the Incisions: Once the necessary modifications are complete, the surgeon will carefully close the incisions using sutures. In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are hidden inside the nose, while open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision that typically leaves minimal scarring.
6. Recovery and Results: After the surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the nose area. The surgeon may place a splint or nasal packing to support the newly shaped nose during the initial healing period. Full recovery can take several weeks to months, during which the final results gradually become apparent.
