What is Rhinoplasty Aesthetic Operation?

Rhinoplasty aesthetics is a surgical operation performed to improve the functional disorders caused by the nose structure or to obtain a positive change in appearance. Rhinoplasty relieves breathing difficulties, makes breathing easier, and removes existing deformations. 

The rhinoplasty procedure, which heals the congenital figure disorders in the nose area and offers an aesthetic appearance, is performed under general anesthesia and lasts an average of 3.5 - 4 hours. Rhinoplasty operation, which is the solution to many health problems, especially sinus problems, can also eliminate the negative results of previous nose surgeries thanks to the revision rhinoplasty method.

What are the Types of Rhinoplasty Surgery?

The type of rhinoplasty surgery, which can be performed in different ways, is determined by the doctor according to the needs of the patient. In line with the problem that the individual has, closed or open rhinoplasty can be performed. While closed rhinoplasty is preferred for operations that require intervention to the tip of the nose, open rhinoplasty operation is applied in more complicated cases.

Before having a rhinoplasty, the choice of doctor should be done most accurately. In this direction, conducting a preliminary interview to obtain information before the operation allows the individual to feel more secure. During the interview, information should be obtained about the details such as rhinoplasty costs, the technique to be used during the operation, and the previous references of the doctor.

What Are the Most Common Types of Nasal Trauma?

The nose, which is open to damage, may experience trauma as a result of various accidents that may cause deformities. Nasal traumas can occur after any accident and the nature of each trauma is not the same. The impact of accidents on nasal health may vary from person to person. Nasal traumas, which can be encountered in the form of a broken nose or a blocked nose, are healed by rhinoplasty operations.

The formation of a fracture in the bones or cartilage in the nose structure and the emergence of the nasal congestion problem caused by this can be shown among nose traumas. Rhinoplasty is one of the ideal treatment options to eliminate cosmetic or functional problems caused by nasal injuries. To perform the restoration of the nose in the most accurate way, it is necessary to consult a plastic surgeon or ENT specialist within 10 days from the day the damage occurred. It is very important not to postpone the post-traumatic rhinoplasty operation to get the healthiest result from the treatment.

Why is Rhinoplasty Operation Necessary After Nasal Trauma?

The traumatic situation that occurs in the nose as a result of an accident most often makes itself felt in bone and cartilage tissue. As a result of accidents, the nose may be exposed to deformity, and the asymmetry of the cartilage on the inside may be disturbed. The respiratory system, which has one of the most important functions for health, can be adversely affected after trauma. 

Aesthetic and physical concerns that may arise in the patient are one of the factors that can be shown for the necessity of post-traumatic treatment. The nose damaged after the accident can easily return to its former state if it is treated within the first ten days. If the damaged nose structure is not treated within the first seven to ten days, the patient is advised to wait at least six months. In this process, the tissues in the inner part of the nose are softened and the vascularizations are reduced. As a result, the effect of a rhinoplasty operation makes you feel more yourself.

How is the Recovery Process of Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty?

Post-traumatic rhinoplasty operation should be performed by a specialist ent doctor or plastic surgeon. There is no need for special preparation in terms of surgery before rhinoplasty. However, it is recommended that the patient limit the use of cigarettes before the operation and not use medicaments with blood-thinning properties. It is inconvenient to lie face down for about two months after surgery. It will be healthier to lie in the side position. After the procedure, it is recommended not to wear glasses for an average of 2 months and to rest at home for an average of 2-5 days. Heavy activities should be avoided to prevent re-damage to the nose where rhinoplasty is performed after trauma.

After the rhinoplasty operation, cigarettes and alcohol should not be consumed for a while. It is very important to eat healthily to accelerate the healing process. It is necessary to avoid sports exercises that require strength for about two months. In the recovery process, care should be taken to use ointments and medicaments recommended by the doctor. Following the doctor's recommendations as much as possible in the post-operative period contributes to the acceleration of the recovery process.
