Rhinoplasty

When you look at somebody’s face, invariably, their nose is the first thing you will notice.

In Turkey, America and throughout Europe, aesthetic nasal surgery is the most common type of facial cosmetic surgery.

If you have decided that you wish to undergo aesthetic nasal surgery, your next decision is undoubtedly the most important. Who will perform the surgery?

It is vitally important that you research your chosen surgeon properly and carefully.

The nose is probably one of our most aesthetically important features and rhinoplasty (nose surgery) is an extremely difficult procedure to perform to a high standard.

Rhinoplasty involves reshaping the nasal cartilage and bone that make up the nose.

This type of surgery may be performed for different reasons. It can be used to improve the function of the nose or to improve its aesthetics. Whatever the reason for the surgery, the outcome should always ensure that the nose remains in proportion with the rest of the patients face.

The overall process of nasal surgery can be lengthy and much patience will be required whilst you await the final results.

Before the surgery can commence, the patient will need to undergo a thorough examination and consultation to highlight any historical problems and build a complete and accurate picture of what is required and what can be achieved.

It is crucial that you discuss your requirements with your surgeon in depth at this stage if you are to achieve the desired results.

Dependant on the patient’s situation and requirements, Rhinoplasty surgery may need to carried out on the inside of the nose as well as the external curvature of the nose. Growth of the nose meat, which can cause problems such as chronic sinusitis, can also be addressed.

What would be the perfect outcome? The most crucial thing is that the appearance of your nose remains natural after surgery. A result that you are not happy with can lead to traumatic and psychological issues. Of course, the nose needs to be able to perform its function and this may limit the results that can be achieved.

Following the surgery, the appearance of your nose may shock you, but this will improve in a short period of time. During the first month after the operation, your nose will recover from the surgery and its appearance will improve dramatically. However, it will take between 6 and 12 months for your nose to recover fully.
