Rhinoplasty in Turkey

An Introduction to Rhinoplasty

Besides hair transplant, the cosmetic reformation of the nose, known as rhinoplasty (or Nose Job), is a hugely popular cosmetic surgical procedure in Turkey.

Many people, both male and female, are unhappy with the look of their nose.

Whether it is an inherited flaw or a crooked nose from an accident, plastic surgeons are able to correct abnormalities in your nose and make you feel better about how it looks.

This, of course, translates to more confidence on your part.

When the focus of attention is directed towards any other feature on the face other than the eyes, the face is said to be out of harmony. Rhinoplasty surgery, when performed correctly, improves the harmony of the facial features.

Today, cosmetic rhinoplasty is commonly used to:

Make nose smaller.
Nose reshaping.
Lift up the nose tip.
Birth defect or other deformity.
Get rid of a humpback nose.
Take away a hanging septum.
Adjust a concave nose profile.
Make the overall nose appearance smoother.

Rhinoplasty is different from the surgical procedure used to repair a deviated septum to improve a patient’s breathing.

Fashion, injuries and birth defects are three common reasons behind nose job.

Before Nose Job Procedure

Rhinoplasty surgery is a delicate, complex undertaking and should not be entered into without thorough investigation and due diligence.

Please pay attention to the following:

After scheduling a consultation with a physician, the competent surgeon will explain the variables involved in the surgery which will include the technique, the anesthesia to be used, the risks involved and most importantly, the options available to you.
During the initial surgical consultation, you will likely be invited to view either printed or computerized images of how plastic surgery may change your appearance.
Rhinoplasty should not be carried out if you have suffered from a cold during the last two weeks, since this increases the risk of rhinoplasty complications.
Aspirin and similar blood thinning medications should be avoided during the last few weeks prior to your rhinoplasty, since they decrease the bloods’ ability to clot and cam make surgery more dangerous.
Informing your surgeon about all the medications that you are currently using is very important.
Your surgeon must also know about medical history, any allergies, illness or unusual reactions to previous surgery, the general expectations and apprehensions related to the procedure.
The ultimate decision to undergo plastic surgery involves a number of factors, including your desire, the physician’s recommendation and the complexity of the surgery.

How is a Nose Reshaping Procedure Performed?

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

How long you will be sedated will of course depend on the particular operation.

This procedure is similar to sculpting in the sense that in order to have the desired nose shape, there are different techniques that your plastic surgeon may use:

Some doctors choose to use sutures, as they do not require the cutting and removal of any tissue. The tip is literally sewn together to make a skinnier, more refined looking end of the nose.

Another technique that your surgeon might use is cephalic resection; where a portion of the cartilage in the tip of the nose is removed to make it smaller and less full looking.

Or, in the case of many rhino plastic surgeries, the complete operation can be performed without any external incisions.

A splint is placed around the outside of the nose for protection and is usually removed after about a week.

It is important that the finished product create a harmonious balance with the rest of your face, be natural looking and last forever as well as being medically sound.

Please note the following points:

With advanced surgical techniques, unless the reconstruction has been extensive, the need for nose packing to keep things in place after the surgery has been drastically reduced.
If the nose has been damaged by physical trauma, the surgery may be more intensive than a mere straightening or reduction and may involve an area wider than the nose to fully reconstruct the damage, but it is still rhinoplasty surgery.
Sometimes the surgeon needs to add extra material to re-shape the nose of the patient. This material will preferably be taken from the patient’s own body and can consist of cartilage as well as bone material.
It is also possible to use artificial materials to reshape the nose during rhinoplasty.

It is important that the finished product create a harmonious balance with the rest of your face, be natural looking and last forever as well as being medically sound.

Nasal Surgery Uncertainties, Risks and Recovery

No surgical procedure is without risk, and there are known complications like:

Bacterial infection at the incision site.
Nosebleed.
An adverse reaction to the anesthesia used.

In general, it is normal to expect that after the procedure the patient will experience certain discomforts like:

Having a nose ache.
Headache.
Puffy eyes that look swelled and bruised.
A little bleeding.

These are only minor setbacks because these will gradually improve after sufficient days of rest, applying cold compress on the eyes and through prescribed pain medication.

Following the surgery and after a short recovery period – about one week – the patient’s new nose will be completely presentable and most people find the return to their jobs goes smoothly and easily.

History of Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty makes the nose more beautiful, while medical rhinoplasty improves the function of the nose and is referred to as reconstructive rhinoplasty.

The word rhinoplasty originates from two Greek words: rhinos and plastikos. Rhinos means nose in Greek and plastikos means to shape.

The first known instances of successful rhinoplasty were carried out in India in 600 B.C.

An Indian surgeon named Sushata Samgita used surgery and skin reconstructions to improve the shape of noses that had been injured or cut off.

Cutting of the nose or nose tip was a common way of punishing thieves in India during this period of time. The injured nose served as a warning to others and the convicts naturally wished to have their noses restored.

By surgically reshaping noses and transplanting skin, Sushata Samgita made it possible for convicts to get a fresh start and live a life where they were not stigmatized by their previous conviction.
