What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, one of the most preferred surgeries, is aimed at the functionality of the nose as well as its aesthetics. Rhinoplasty operations, which mean correcting deformities in the nose, are applied to problems in the upper respiratory tract; in cases that reduce breathing quality and make breathing difficult.
Functionality is More Important Than Aesthetics in Rhinoplasty
Congenital problems as well as changes in the nose after trauma can be corrected with rhinoplasty. Problems such as nasal passages being narrower or wider than normal, curvature in the nasal bone, the nose being excessively long or wide relative to the face, asymmetry in the nose, and issues with the nose-lip angle bring with them medical necessities like rhinoplasty. The nose can be reduced or enlarged with aesthetic surgery.
Rhinoplasty's primary goal is to create a nasal structure that does not cause health problems for the patient and is easy to use. Factors such as the strength of the bone tissue and the thinness of the cartilage tissue are evaluated before the aesthetic appearance. Success in rhinoplasty means creating the most suitable nose for the face.
The nasal surgery, which generally lasts 1 to 1.5 hours, has the nasal cavity cleared the day after the surgery, and breathing is provided through the normal route. The cast applied to the nose is removed after being worn for 7 to 10 days. Thanks to advancements in medical technology, post-operative complications in rhinoplasty have been minimized.
