Rhinoplasty is a surgical reshaping procedure for the nose. The nose has both functional and visual significance. For this reason, nasal aesthetic surgery should aim not only to correct visual impairment but also to solve breathing problems. The important thing is not to perform standard nose surgery, this results similar looking noses. Surgical planning should be private to every person, because needs, desires and anatomy are completely different for everyone.
Patients come to plastic surgeons with various complaints: oversized nose, wide nose, short nose, wide nostrils, curved nose, nasal depression, etc. What can be done is discussed and the best surgery is planned in the direction of your expectation. The general health status of the patients is also assessed during the interview. Although there is no definite limit for age, it is recommended 18 years of age and above for males and 17 years of age and above for females.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rhinoplasty:
Will I stay in the hospital?
You will stay in the hospital one day because the rhinoplasty operation is done under general anesthesia.
Will I have pain after surgery?
You will not have pain because you’ll be given strong painkillers.
How long does surgery take?
It can last up to 2 hours, depending on the surgery being performed.
How is the recovery period?
The eyelids and the nose could be bruised and swollen after nose surgery. Patients need to sleep with their heads elevated. I recommend to my patients take about 7 days off from work. The bandages and internal nose tubes are removed on the 7th day after the operation. It can take up to a year to fully resolve and the final results to appear. But, patients often enjoy their new appearance within one or two months of surgery.
