Rhinoplasty
WHAT IS A RHINOPLASTY SURGERY?
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a cosmetic surgery that has become popular worldwide in the last few decades. The surgery intends to reshape the size of the nose and give it a more aesthetic shape that goes with the overall face structure of the patient.
Apart from its aesthetic concerns, a nose job can also treat any medical conditions such as breathing problems, sinus problems, or any defects the nose suffers from. With one surgery, you can change the shape of your nose, get the desired look, and treat your medical issues.
TECHNIQUES USED IN RHINOPLASTY
Over the years with the improvements in the plastic surgery field, the techniques for nose job in Turkey have been developed as well.
There are three main techniques used in Rhinoplasty operations; Closed, Open, and lastly, Ethnic Rhinoplasty. Plastic surgeons have to use general anesthesia in all of these surgical procedures.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: In this technique, the doctor makes an internal incision between the upper and lower cartilage to hide the cracks inside the nose. This technique takes less time and has a faster recovery period.
- Open Rhinoplasty: In this technique, the doctor makes an external incision through a tube. This technique is used in cases of aberrations and apparent deformities. Furthermore, an open rhinoplasty gives the surgeon more space to move freely. Therefore, it is more possible to make precise changes on the nose shape.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Ethnic Rhinoplasty is a variation of traditional rhinoplasty. This technique is performed on patients who are Middle Eastern, Asian, African, and coming from an ethnic or non-Caucasian background. Most of the time, this technique aims to reshape the nose and especially make the nostrils smaller.
