Nose aesthetic surgeries are among the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures worldwide. Positioned at the center of the face, the nose significantly influences facial beauty and expression. Therefore, a well-performed nose surgery contributes greatly to both health and aesthetic aspects, aiming to create a natural and attractive appearance. The goal of rhinoplasty is to create a nose that harmonizes with the facial profile. In addition to correcting the nasal tip, bridge, root, or nostril structure, any breathing difficulties can also be alleviated.
Rhinoplasty surgeries should be individually tailored. Attempting to give everyone the same nose shape is incorrect. The face is a cohesive unit, and the most crucial aspect to consider in aesthetic nose surgeries is achieving a natural appearance while also addressing functional concerns.
Rhinoplasty surgeries can change the shape of the nasal bridge or tip, resize your nose to make it smaller or larger, reduce the size of your nostrils, and alter the angle between the nasal bridge and forehead or between the nasal tip and upper lip. Additionally, they can help alleviate problems that affect our ability to breathe, such as polyps, sinusitis, nasal polyps, and deviated septum.
How does the rhinoplasty procedure progress?
The nose operation is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts about 1.5-2 hours. There is usually no pain after the surgery, and cold application is applied to the face on the first day. The patient stays in the hospital overnight and returns home the next day.
What is the post-operative process in rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, there may be mild swelling and bruising 2-3 days post-surgery, but this typically resolves quickly in the following days. Around 5-7 days after nose aesthetic surgery, the plastic splint and bandages on the nose are removed, and the patient can comfortably return to normal activities. Air travel can be considered after the first and second weeks. Light walking can begin after 1 week, light jogging after 2 weeks, and light exercise after 3 weeks, gradually increasing intensity. Heavy exercise and weightlifting can be resumed after approximately 2 months.
