Rhinoplasty
Nasal aesthetic surgery, also called rhinoplasty, is an operation performed to change the shape and/or size of the nose. Since the nose is located in the center of the face, even minor changes in the nose cause serious improvements in the overall attractiveness of the face.
Some people do not like the shape and size of their noses and as a result they want to reach a solution with rhinoplasty. People who have damage to the nose area after trauma or injury also think about having a beautiful nose with rhinoplasty surgery. Along with these, patients who have respiratory problems due to their nose structure also want to have this surgery.
Rhinoplasty is generally used to solve many problems besides the appearance. Some of those can be listed as follows:
- Healing Respiratory Problems: The operation related to this problem is also called functional rhinoplasty.
- Reducing the dimensions and profile of the nose: It is also called reduction rhinoplasty.
- Increasing the dimensions and profile of the nose: Rhinoplasty operation performed to increase the size is called augmentation rhinoplasty.
- Configuring the shape of the tip, bridge and/or nostrils of your nose: This operation involves breaking the nasal bone and restructuring the cartilage.
Who Can Have Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is one of the most performed procedures for both men and women. Rhinoplasty candidates generally prefer this surgery because of aesthetic problems in their noses. Patients with functional problems such as breathing problems also prefer this procedure. The mentioned functional problems can cause problems such as nasal congestion and loud, noisy breathing. In addition, people with these problems suffer from snoring while sleeping because of these functional problems.
Persons with one or more of the following items are considered suitable candidates for rhinoplasty:
- Dissatisfaction with nose size and shape,
- Difficulty breathing due to functional nasal problems,
- Snoring loudly,
- Being mentally and emotionally prepared for surgery,
- Having realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery.
