Nose Aesthetics: The Center of Facial Beauty
Nose aesthetics is one of the most preferred aesthetic procedures. The nose is one of the most important organs located in the center of the face and affects all facial features. A beautiful nose gives the person a more attractive and balanced appearance.
What is nose aesthetics?
Nose aesthetics (rhinoplasty) are surgical procedures performed to improve the shape, size and function of the nose. These procedures can be performed for both aesthetic and functional purposes.
Who can have nose aesthetics?
Those with large noses, those with low nose tips, those with high nose bridges, those with nose asymmetry, those experiencing breathing problems and healthy individuals over 18 years old can have nose aesthetics.
Types of nose aesthetics
Open rhinoplasty technique allows the nose to be fully visible with an incision made from the tip of the nose. This technique is ideal for more complex corrections. Closed rhinoplasty technique leaves no external marks with an incision made from inside the nose. This technique is suitable for simpler corrections.
Functional rhinoplasty is performed to correct breathing problems. Problems such as septum deviation, nasal polyp growth and narrow nostrils are solved with this technique.
Nose aesthetics methods
In nose reduction procedures, bone and cartilage tissues are reduced. Nose tip correction improves the shape and position of the nose tip. Nose bridge correction reduces the high nose bridge. Narrowing the nostrils reduces wide nostrils.
Pre-operative preparation
Detailed examination, photography, expectation management and health check are performed during the consultation process. In the preparation stages, smoking and alcohol cessation, blood tests, ECG and chest X-ray are performed and pre-operative diet is applied.
Surgery process
The surgery performed under general anesthesia lasts 2-4 hours. While open rhinoplasty technique takes longer, closed rhinoplasty takes shorter. After surgery, tampons are placed inside the nose and plaster is applied externally.
Recovery process
In the first 24 hours, pain control, ice application for swelling and minimal bleeding are considered normal. Maximum swelling and bruising are seen in the first week, and mouth breathing may be required. Between 2-4 weeks, swelling decreases and significant improvement is seen. Final results are achieved after 3-6 months and complete healing occurs.
Risks and complications
Early period risks include 2-3% infection rate, controllable bleeding and temporary breathing difficulty. Late period risks include rarely seen asymmetry, temporary sensory loss and minimal scarring.
