Rhinoplasty is an operation that positively changes a person's life and increases the quality of life. However, deciding on such a major surgery may not be as easy as it seems. Although a good rhinoplasty surgery performed by the right doctor gives good results, some patients are worried about the surgery and the following recovery process. At this point, the importance of planning before rhinoplasty emerges.
As in every surgical practice, good planning is essential for a successful outcome in rhinoplasty. For this, good communication should be established between the doctor and the patient and a comprehensive evaluation should be made. The doctor has a great job in relieving and motivating the patient psychologically.
The first step in planning the rhinoplasty operation is to examine the internal and external structure of the nose in detail. The nose is evaluated as a whole in a rhinoplasty surgery; therefore, the aim is to correct both aesthetic and functional problems with a single operation. Computed tomography imaging techniques are used for a detailed evaluation. Thanks to the technological possibilities we have today, we can also analyze the faces of our patients with digital imaging techniques and show them the shape of the nose they will have after the operation. Rhinoplasty surgery cannot be considered successful; Unless the result of the operations performed for aesthetic purposes is satisfactory to the patient. Therefore, digital imaging techniques that enable patients to undergo surgery with realistic expectations play an important role in surgery planning. This situation indirectly increases the success of the surgery.
Rhinoplasty surgery may be performed with two different techniques, open and closed. The technique to being used varies depending on the choice of the doctor, however, the aim in all rhinoplasty surgeries is to obtain a natural-looking, smooth, and symmetrical nose structure that is compatible with the patient's facial features, and is functionally problem-free. The most crucial point here is to make separate planning and procedure for each patient.
Finally, you should take into account that many factors affect the success of rhinoplasty surgeries. These factors include the shape of the person's nose, functional problems, the internal structure of the nose, the type of the skin, and most importantly, the patient's expectations. For a perfect result, an experienced specialist who can evaluate and blend all these factors in the best way should be chosen.
