Rhinoplasty (Nose Aesthetics)

Nose Aesthetics, medically known as rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed both to improve the aesthetic appearance and to enhance nasal respiratory functions. The primary function of the nose is to ensure healthy breathing. Therefore, nose aesthetics operations should aim not only for cosmetic improvements but also for functional enhancement.

Rhinoplasty is performed to achieve a nose shape that harmonizes with the patient’s facial features. During the surgical planning process, breathing problems are evaluated alongside the nose shape. This procedure offers effective and permanent results both health-wise and aesthetically.

Who Can Have Nose Aesthetics?

Individuals who are unsatisfied with their nose shape and have no health contraindications for surgery can undergo nose aesthetics. The most common complaints include drooping nasal tip, hooked nose, asymmetry of the nostrils, and nose length.

With rhinoplasty, the nose can be shortened or lengthened, the nasal tip can be reshaped, the size of the nostrils can be reduced, and the nose position can be adjusted according to the facial structure.

What Are the Rhinoplasty Methods?

Nose aesthetics is applied with two main surgical techniques: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. The choice of technique is determined by the specialist doctor according to the patient’s nasal structure and needs.

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty is performed with a small incision in the columella, the area between the nostrils. This technique provides the surgeon with a wider field of view and allows clearer visualization of the internal nasal structures.

Advantages: Preferred especially for complex nasal structures. Nasal bones, cartilage, and muscle structures can be shaped in detail. Precise interventions are possible as the nasal tip and septum are clearly visible.

Closed Rhinoplasty

In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars. The outside of the nose remains completely closed, and the surgeon operates from inside the nose.

Advantages: The operation time is shorter and the healing process is generally faster. No external scars remain aesthetically. It is suitable for mild to moderate deformities.

Preoperative preparation and doctor’s examination are very important for both methods. Blood-thinning medications should be stopped under doctor’s supervision before surgery.
