The nose has a significant role in facial aesthetics. Rhinoplasty surgery is one of the most preferred surgeries among plastic surgeries. While it is easy to want to have this surgery, making a decision can be really difficult.
Rhinoplasty, also known as "rhinoplasty" in medical literature, is a surgical procedure performed to change the shape, size or functions of the nose. This operation is preferred to eliminate aesthetic concerns, correct nasal deformities or eliminate breathing problems. Rhinoplasty may also be preferred due to trauma or congenital structural problems. Rhinoplasty aims to increase the harmony of the nose with the face. This harmony contributes to the formation of a balanced whole by facial features. Beyond the aesthetic appearance, surgery can also offer a solution for patients who have difficulty breathing. With the help of modern technology, the methods used in rhinoplasty surgeries have improved and these operations have been able to provide natural-looking results. Especially thanks to the ultrasonic devices and piezo technology developed in recent years, delicate interventions can be made to the nasal structure during surgery.
Rhinoplasty is usually preferred by individuals who are unhappy with the shape of their nose or who have respiratory problems. However, these surgeries not only improve appearance, but can also be performed to eliminate health problems. So, who is rhinoplasty suitable for?
Individuals who are not satisfied with the shape or size of their nose prefer rhinoplasty. Problems such as a nose that is arched, crooked, large or too small can be corrected with this surgery. Especially nose structures that are not compatible with facial features can cause aesthetic concerns.
Structural deformities in the nose that occur as a result of accidents or impacts may require surgery. This can create both visual and functional problems.
Rhinoplasty can be a treatment option for individuals who have difficulty breathing due to problems such as a deviated septum. Surgery can provide both aesthetic and functional improvements.
Individuals with good general health are suitable candidates for rhinoplasty surgery. This surgery can be performed more healthily in individuals over the age of 18, as the nasal structure is fully developed.

The selected technique accesses the nasal structure. The nasal cartilages and bones are shaped, the tip of the nose is corrected, and breathing problems are eliminated.
Closure and Bandaging: The incisions are closed and special tapes or splints are placed on the nose to reduce swelling.
Post-Operative Follow-Up: The patient usually stays in the hospital for one night and is discharged the next day. Check-ups and the recovery process are soon performed by the surgeon. Rhinoplasty Surgery Techniques
