Nose surgeries are one of the most common surgical interventions and are interventions with both aesthetic and functional results and goals. Nose deformities are a source of significant stress and social anxiety in people due to their prominent position on the face.

How is the nose surgery process?

It is an operation that requires 1 night of hospitalization, lasts about 1 and a half hours, and has a healing process that lasts an average of 7- 10 days, although it varies depending on the procedure to be performed. After surgery, there are bands for 7 days after a splint in the nose for 7 days. In the first 2 weeks after the operation, a varying amount of edema and bruises may form in the nose.

What is done before surgery?

A detailed interview is conducted with the patient one or two times before the operation. In these interviews, the operation and its aftermath, possible complications, and the recovery process are discussed in detail. Preoperative photos are taken the surgery information form is given and all patient questions are answered.

In patients who smoke, it is necessary to stop smoking at least 2 weeks before the operation to heal the wound and reduce possible complications.

Is there a disfigurement after surgery?

Nasal surgery, like all other surgeries, includes the risks of possible complications, but with modern techniques, we are more rarely faced with a nose tip drop or deformities. Revision surgeries or filling applications after rhinoplasty operations can be used to correct partial problems.

What is preventive rhinoplasty?

Preventive rhinoplasty is a surgical paradigm that has become very popular especially recently, in which previously destroyed or removed tissues are performed with maximum protection. In this new approach, atraumatic concepts that we plastic surgeons attach great importance to are applied and it is aimed to protect and reshape anatomical structures as much as possible. In patients who are eligible, complete or partial preventive rhinoplasty is performed.
