What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as nasoplasty, is one of the most common aesthetic operations. It is performed to eliminate congenital, acquired or traumatized deformities in the nose. In some cases, the deformity is corrected only because it causes visual discomfort, while in most people it should be corrected because it causes problems such as respiratory disorders. Regardless of the reason for which aesthetic surgery will be performed, the primary goal in rhinoplasty is to make the respiratory tract in the nose function in the best way at the end of the operation. During the operation, one or more of the procedures of reshaping the nose, removing deformities or changing the shape of a part of it are applied.

In people who are considering rhinoplasty, whether the nasal tissues are suitable for aesthetic surgery must be checked during the examination to be performed by the surgeon. Since the slightest intervention can have significant results, rhinoplasty operations must be performed by a surgeon who is a specialist in the field. Rhinoplasty, which can be applied in both men and women, is a complicated operation. Achieving the expected result requires a process between 6 and 12 months. This process varies according to the size of the operation in the nose, the structure of the tissues in the nose or the severity of the problem. After the operation, some of the patients may require minor correction applications to achieve the desired shape.
