What is Rhinoplasty?

The rapid development of technology has caused aesthetic surgical processes to be preferred much more frequently than before and the success rates after these processes have increased. As Dr Servet Ada, we care about using modern methods that will meet your expectations in cosmetic surgery processes that prioritise your health. Rhinoplasty, also called Rhinoplasty in the medical world, is the whole of the procedures performed both for aesthetic purposes and for the repair of any dysfunction or deformity.

Rhinoplasty surgery is a very powerful method to overcome the difficulties that usually occur in respiratory processes and reduce the quality of life. In order for the procedure to provide a lifelong solution, the physician who manages the surgical procedure throughout the process must be an expert, experienced and knowledgeable in the field.

What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

The desired result can be obtained in most rhinoplasty surgeries. In order to achieve this, a good surgery and nose shape plan should be made beforehand. In the interviews with the patient before the surgery, what the patient wants is noted. Then, some tests are applied to the patient and it is determined whether the person is suitable for surgery. When all the results are evaluated, rhinoplasty is applied to the patient and a successful result is usually obtained. However, in some cases, the shape of the nose may be distorted after surgery. This is often caused by blows to the nose after surgery.

After such a situation, it may be necessary to apply a second or third correction procedure to the nose. Renewed rhinoplasty surgery is called revision rhinoplasty. Thanks to this procedure, the bone and soft tissues in the nose are reshaped. Thus, the person's complaint is eliminated. There is usually not much pain after revision rhinoplasty. The pain that occurs is usually relieved spontaneously within a short period of time.

When bruising and swelling occur on the face, this situation disappears within a week. After revision rhinoplasty, it is necessary to be careful about some issues as in the first surgery. After the procedure, the patient should rest for at least 7-10 days, just like the first surgery. In this process, the person should not make much physical movement and should not put pressure on the nose. Until the nose is completely finalised, the nose should be protected against second impacts.

Why is Rhinoplasty Performed?

The reasons that push the person to request rhinoplasty may be more than one. Let's examine them briefly:

1. Congenital Causes: Conditions that occur with birth and cause breathing difficulties or do not satisfy the person in terms of aesthetics are among the most common causes of nasal aesthetics. When aesthetic disorders are combined with breathing difficulties, patients' complaints increase. The surgical procedure often aims to solve two problems at the same time.
2. Subsequent Accidents and Traumas: Deformities that occur as a result of a major accident, fracture or tissue trauma can cause serious problems in the person's breathing activity or aesthetically disturb the person.

To whom is rhinoplasty applied?

Adult people usually have this procedure together with facial rejuvenation. Rhinoplasty surgery is desired by many people. When necessary, the procedure should be performed without wasting any time. Procedures that are not performed when necessary can cause bigger problems in the future. The condition of people who want to have nose surgery at an advanced age without any reason should be evaluated by the doctor. If the doctor deems appropriate, people of all age groups can have rhinoplasty surgery.

How Does Rhinoplasty Give Results?

Although most people have rhinoplasty surgery, this surgery is not easy. Many conditions cause this. The first reason is that the nose is an organ located in the centre of the face. With its three-dimensional and complex structure, it has a structure that makes it difficult to make changes on the nose.

Each change to be made during rhinoplasty surgery will greatly change the appearance of the nose. Apart from the appearance of the nose, the changes also change the structure of the nose. The nose also requires working with a small area on it. The slightest mistake in the nose can have major consequences. In addition, it should not be forgotten that the nose is an organ that changes shape throughout life.

Even after surgery, the nose will not always maintain the same appearance. In addition, it is not possible for the nose to take its final shape immediately after surgery. When the nose will take its final shape varies. However, the nose usually takes its final shape within a year. During this period, no second change should be made to the nose. Therefore, those who do not like the shape of the nose or who want to make a second change in their nose are recommended to wait at least one year.
