Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

What is Rhinoplasty:

Rhinoplasty is a medical procedure involving surgical or non-surgical interventions to enhance or alter the appearance of a person's nose. Rhinoplasty can be performed for aesthetic reasons or to address breathing issues.

Before Rhinoplasty:

During the preoperative phase, patients follow these steps:

1. Consultation: Rhinoplasty candidates are evaluated by a plastic surgeon. In this process, the individual's desires and expectations are determined, and surgical options are discussed.
2. Health Assessment: The patient's overall health is examined, particularly evaluating their suitability for rhinoplasty surgeries. Existing health issues are addressed, and medications are reviewed.
3. Surgical Plan: The surgeon determines the most suitable surgical techniques to achieve the patient's desired results and creates a procedure plan.

After Rhinoplasty:

After the procedure, patients enter the recovery process and should pay attention to the following points:

• Strictly adhering to post-operative care instructions is essential.
• The recovery period can vary from person to person but generally takes a few weeks.
• Post-surgical swelling and bruising are normal, but these symptoms will diminish over time.

How Rhinoplasty is Performed:

The procedure can be performed using different techniques depending on the patient's preference and the surgeon's expertise. Typically, nasal bones and cartilage are reshaped or reconstructed.

Who Can and Cannot Have Rhinoplasty:

To determine whether you are a suitable candidate for rhinoplasty, consult with a plastic surgeon. Generally, healthy individuals can undergo this procedure. However, some health conditions or risk factors may make the procedure risky.

Rhinoplasty offers several benefits:

• Enhancement of the nose's appearance.
