The nose is an organ located in the center of the face and plays a very important role in the face. Each nose has its own unique shape. Even minor changes in the nose can affect the appearance of the face.
The aim of rhinoplasty surgery is to improve the nose both functionally and aesthetically. With the pre-operative examination and evaluation, first of all, the patient's expectations from this surgery are tried to be understood.
Patients generally and naturally act according to their own perception of beauty, and this perception shapes their demands for surgery. In the preoperative evaluation, the patient's cartilage structure, traces on the nose and face, examination of the inside of the nose for breathing, the patient's age, gender and skin characteristics are evaluated.
Rhinoplasty surgery planning is done with the analysis of the whole face. The harmony of the nose with the eyes, chin, cheekbones, lips and other facial structures is also very important.
As a result of the aesthetic and anatomical evaluation, an operation plan is prepared in which the appropriate technique is selected so that the patient has an ideal nose. The main purpose of the operation is to obtain a nose that is suitable for the face shape, naturally, breathes comfortably and looks better.
The outcome of the surgery does not only depend on the skill and experience of the surgeon. It is also related to the patient's age, general health, skin condition, bone skeleton, smoking, wound healing and anatomical structure.
Rhinoplasty can be performed after the age of 18, when facial bone development is complete. In cases where nasal congestion is advanced, surgery can be performed at an earlier age.
