Rhinoplasty, also known as “Nose Aesthetics”, is a very common aesthetic operation in our country. Thousands of health tourists come to Istanbul from all over the world every year to have a nose job. We can say that Istanbul has become the center of nose aesthetics in the world. The fact that rhinoplasty is so common in Turkey and especially in Istanbul has made it popular among surgeons.
The first thing people who want to have a nose job research about is which doctor should I have my nose done by. There is a topic that both those who want to have a rhinoplasty and rhinoplasty surgeons have been discussing for a long time:
To answer this question, we must first answer the question of what is “Rhinoplasty”.
Rhinoplasty is a surgery that aesthetically improves the appearance of the nose. If we include the septum, which is located in the middle of the nose and separates the two nostrils, in this surgery, the name of the surgery is “Septorhinoplasty”.
There are no sharp boundaries between branches in medicine. Some medical practices are intertwined between branches. It is not possible to talk about a definite rule that this surgery or this procedure should be performed by this branch. Therefore; clear and sharp arguments such as “Rhinoplasty should be performed by otolaryngologists” or “Rhinoplasty should be performed by a plastic surgeon” are not true. Surgeons who specialize in both branches and are interested in rhinoplasty can perform rhinoplasty.
As I mentioned above, the first requirement for performing rhinoplasty is to be an expert in otolaryngology or plastic surgery. Performing a good rhinoplasty depends entirely on the surgeon’s personal skills and experience in rhinoplasty. Never forget that not every surgeon can satisfy every patient 100%.
The most important criterion here is to research the experiences of those who have had rhinoplasty before. For this, contacting people who have had rhinoplasty before should be your first priority. Then, comments and experiences should be researched in the digital environment. Although before and after surgery images published on social media are also points to consider when making a decision, many factors such as photography techniques, lighting, and anatomical variables can be misleading. The most important criterion is that your doctor trusts you. Remember that no surgeon is perfect. A surgeon who trusts you, is open to communication, answers your questions, and puts you at ease is the best option for you.
