What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the shape and function of the nose. This operation, which can be chosen for both aesthetic reasons and health issues, aims to create a nose structure that is harmonious with facial features by making changes in areas such as the nasal bridge, nasal tip, and nostrils.
Who is Rhinoplasty Suitable For?
Rhinoplasty is generally preferred in the following cases:
- Aesthetic Concerns: Individuals who are not satisfied with the shape of their nose and think that their nose is not in harmony with their facial features.
- Breathing Problems: Those experiencing breathing issues such as nasal congestion or septum deviation.
- Congenital or Traumatic Deformities: Individuals with congenital nasal deformities or deformations resulting from accidents.
How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 1-3 hours. The surgeon makes small incisions inside the nostrils or on the nasal bridge to reshape the nasal bone and cartilage. After the surgery, nasal tampons and an external splint are placed. Tampons are typically removed after 1-2 days, and the splint is removed after 1 week.
Post-Surgery Care
The recovery process after rhinoplasty varies from person to person. Generally, the following points should be noted:
- First Week: Sleep with your head elevated, avoid strenuous activities.
- First Month: Avoid sports and heavy exercises, and try not to wear glasses.
- Long Term: Use high-factor sunscreen to protect from sunlight, and avoid nasal trauma.
Results of Rhinoplasty
The results of rhinoplasty surgery are generally permanent. However, it may take 6 months to 1 year for the final results to become apparent. During this period, the nasal tissues heal and the new shape settles fully.
Cost of Rhinoplasty
The cost of rhinoplasty varies depending on the hospital where the surgery is performed, the experience of the surgeon, and the scope of the procedure. Providing a general price range is difficult, so it is best to get price information after a personal evaluation and consultation.
