Aquiline Nose Job Surgery

Post Date: 3/30/2021

We all have different nose shapes, which is why our noses are the most characteristic parts of our faces. There are many people out there who are not satisfied with their noses. Although this dissatisfaction usually comes from appearance-related concerns, the shape of the nose can also affect the way you breathe. Especially if the bone of the nasal dorsum is too curved or humped, these aesthetic and functional disorders may be bigger. An aquiline nose (also known as a Roman nose) can be congenital or shaped later by a strike.

The patient’s nose structure is carefully evaluated in the first examination. It is determined whether the nasal arch is included in the cartilage or the bone structure during the pre-operative examinations. In some cases, it can be both. It is decided how much the nasal hump should be removed after this evaluation.

There are two rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed rhinoplasty. We prefer the open rhinoplasty technique since it allows seeing more of the nose structure during the operation.

The surgery is carried out as planned. A natural result is obtained by bringing the bones in the nose wings closer to each other once the nasal hump is removed. If no complications are encountered after the surgery, which takes about 4-5 hours, patients are discharged within a day. Significant changes will be seen at the end of the first week after the surgery, but it takes near a year to get the ultimate result. As in all rhinoplasty surgeries, bruises and swellings around the nose are observed in the first weeks, but these will disappear in a short time. The plaster and tampons, which were used to maintain the new shape of the nose at the end of the surgery, will be removed within 7-10 days at the latest. The most terrifying part for many patients is the removal of these tampons. However, patients don’t need to be afraid of pain, as silicone tampons are preferred over old-fashioned cloth or plastic tampons in the last years. It is quite normal to feel some pain after the operation, but it can easily be handled by prescribed medications.

Patients can return to their daily routines after one week. Using a high pillow as sleeping for a while after the surgery helps to prevent edema and bleeding. They can go back to their diets one day after the surgery but should stay away from hot and spicy foods for a few weeks. Excessive facial expressions and laughter should also be avoided during this period.
