Rhinoplasty is suitable for individuals with aesthetic concerns about the shape of their nose or those experiencing breathing problems. Rhinoplasty may be considered in the following situations:

• Hump on the nasal bridge: A noticeable protrusion on the bridge of the nose
• Drooping nasal tip: The tip of the nose pointing downward
• Wide nostrils: Broad nasal openings
• Wide nasal tip: A broad tip of the nose
• Crooked nasal tip: The tip of the nose tilting to the right or left
• Collapsed nasal bridge: A flat nasal bridge
• Curved nasal tip: The tip of the nose turning downward
• Nasal asymmetry: The nose is not symmetrical on the left and right sides
• Breathing difficulty: Nasal obstruction, enlarged turbinates, or other breathing problems

At A Life Health Group, we provide services with a team of physicians specialized in aesthetic surgery and experienced in rhinoplasty. Our team aims to achieve the most natural and harmonious results by considering each patient's individual needs and expectations.

Rhinoplasty can be performed using open or closed techniques. Both techniques aim to reshape the nasal bones and cartilage.

• Open Rhinoplasty: A small incision is made under the nostrils to access the nasal bones and cartilage. This technique is used to correct more complex nasal deformities.
• Closed Rhinoplasty: Small incisions are made inside the nostrils to reach the nasal bones and cartilage. This technique is less invasive and allows for faster recovery.

Deciding on rhinoplasty is important for healing healthily and meeting your expectations. During the evaluation, the physician will:

• Physical Examination: Examine the shape and function of your nose in detail.
• Imaging: CT or MRI scans allow for a detailed assessment of the nasal structure.
• Assessment of Symptoms and Expectations: Ask questions about your concerns and aesthetic expectations.
• Explanation of Surgical Risks and Complications: Explain the risks and potential complications related to the surgery.
• Photographs: Take before and after photos of your nose to help better evaluate the surgical outcome.
• Suitability Assessment: Determine whether you are a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery varies depending on the complexity of the nasal deformity.

Steps of Rhinoplasty Surgery:

• Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered.
• Incisions: In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made under the nostrils, while in closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nostrils.
• Shaping Nasal Bones and Cartilage: The nasal bones and cartilage are shaped, lifted, or repositioned to create a new form.
• Bleeding Control: Bleeding is stopped and wound healing is supported.
• Application of Splint or Bandage: A splint or bandage is applied to maintain the shape of the nose.

Postoperative Rhinoplasty Recovery:

Swelling and bruising are normal after rhinoplasty. Recovery time varies from person to person.

Steps of Recovery After Rhinoplasty:

• Hospital Stay: Usually, one night in the hospital is required after surgery.
• Medications: Painkillers and antibiotics are prescribed.
• Splint or Bandage: A splint or bandage is applied over the nose post-surgery. It typically remains in place for one to ten days.
• Rest: A few days of rest are necessary after surgery.
• Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are normal and generally subside within a few weeks.
• Activities: Heavy activities should be avoided for the first few weeks post-surgery.
• Follow-up: Regular follow-up appointments are necessary after surgery.

• Improvement of Aesthetic Appearance: Correcting the shape of the nose enhances your aesthetic appearance and boosts self-confidence.
• Improvement of Breathing Function: Resolving issues such as nasal obstruction or enlarged turbinates improves your breathing function.
• Correction of Facial Symmetry: Correcting asymmetries in the nose enhances overall facial symmetry.
• Improvement of Sleep Quality: Nasal obstruction can cause sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. Rhinoplasty can improve your sleep quality.

Like any surgical procedure, rhinoplasty carries certain risks. However, when performed by experienced hands with appropriate precautions, these risks are minimized.

Risks of Rhinoplasty:

• Bleeding: There is a risk of bleeding, as with any surgical procedure.
• Infection: There is a risk of infection at the surgical site.
• Breathing Issues: Temporary breathing difficulties may occur after surgery.
• Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are normal after surgery.
• Loss of Natural Appearance: The nose shape may not turn out as desired after surgery.
• Post-Surgical Complications: Complications such as wound infection, pneumonia, or cardiovascular issues may develop.

Post-Rhinoplasty Care:

To ensure a healthy recovery and achieve your aesthetic expectations, certain precautions should be followed after rhinoplasty.

Post-Rhinoplasty Guidelines:

• Rest: It is important to rest for a few days after surgery.
• Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising are normal and usually subside within a few weeks.
• Activities: Avoid heavy activities during the first few weeks after surgery.
• Nutrition: Follow the diet plan recommended by your doctor.
• Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and alcohol negatively affect healing and increase the risk of complications.
