Rhinoplasty
(Nose Aesthetic Surgery)

Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic operation performed to correct congenital or acquired deformities, often caused by trauma. These surgeries are commonly referred to as rhinoplasty.

The nose is the most prominent feature of the face during public interactions, special invitations, at home, or at work. Individuals who are unhappy with the shape of their nose or overly concerned about it may feel self-conscious, believing that others focus on their nose in these settings. This can negatively impact their social, home, and work life. Therefore, it is important to consider rhinoplasty as a means to address not only physical but also psychological concerns.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects the cartilage and bone structures in the nose to achieve a natural appearance. In addition to correcting the deformity, it also eliminates respiratory disorders caused by the nose.

After undergoing rhinoplasty surgery, many patients often express that they can breathe much easier. This surgical procedure not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of patients but also resolves respiratory issues, ultimately improving their overall quality of life.

What Are the Types and Classifications of Rhinoplasty?

In rhinoplasty, patients are evaluated based on their complaints. The most appropriate type of rhinoplasty is then determined as a result of this evaluation.

Nasal Tip Aesthetics (Tipplasty)

This procedure is intended for patients who are dissatisfied with the structure of their nasal tip. It can address issues such as an excessively pointed or wide nose, a low nasal tip, and asymmetry in the wings of the nose. It’s important to note that this procedure does not involve any manipulation of the nose bone.

Septoplasty

In this procedure, the inside of the nose is operated on. It is intended for patients with nasal deviation issues. The goal of the surgery is to improve the patient’s ability to breathe comfortably.

Septorinoplasty

During this operation, rhinoplasty is performed to address the breathing problem in the nose. Simultaneously, the nose is reshaped to correct any deviation issue.

Rhinoplasty Patients

Patients who undergo rhinoplasty may have various complaints. Therefore, it is important for a plastic surgeon or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat surgeon) specialist with expertise in rhinoplasty to evaluate the patients’ expectations and complaints.
