Burun Estetiği (Rinoplasti) – Op. Dr. Servet Ada

Nose Aesthetics

The nose is an extremely important organ located in the centre of our face, which determines the shape and expression of our face and reflects our personality with its appearance as well as its very important functions such as breathing and smell. Surgical interventions to the nose include septoplasty, concha surgery, etc. for functional (breathing) purposes; rhinoplasty for aesthetic (shape and size) purposes; or septorhinoplasty for both purposes. If septorhinoplasty surgery is to be performed, due to the very close anatomical relationship of the internal and external structures and the fact that every intervention into the nose affects the external appearance, it is ideal to perform "the same session, the same surgeon", that is, if possible, the entire surgery in the same session and by the same surgeon for a good result and minimal complications.

How is Rhinoplasty Surgery Performed?

Aesthetic nose surgery (rhinoplasty) can be performed open through an incision made in the partition between the nostrils (columella) or closed only through the nostrils. Rhinoplasty is never a standard operation in which the same procedures are performed in every patient, and both the technique to be used and the procedures to be performed should be determined according to the patient's nasal structure, type and size of the existing deformity. The ideal result should be a natural nose with ideal aesthetic dimensions and lines, without excessive curvature, excessively pointed and raised nasal tip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age limit for rhinoplasty?

Is rhinoplasty a difficult surgery?

Rhinoplasty was a very difficult surgery in the past due to the fact that technology was not yet developed and the healing process was quite long. However, as a result of technological advances, rhinoplasty surgeries can now be performed quite easily and successfully by doctors. The degree of difficulty of the surgery varies according to the problems in the nose. Detailed information will be given by your doctor on this subject, but both closed technique and open technique surgeries have become quite easy for doctors.
