Rhinoplasty, or nose job surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to change the shape of the nose to improve the appearance and proportion of the face. This surgery can be useful for correcting problems that result from structural damage.
There are techniques available for performing rhinoplasty, including open and closed rhinoplasty. In the open method, the surgeon makes a small incision in the lower part of the nose to access the internal structures of the nose. In the closed method, the incisions are made inside the nose and no external scars are visible.
People who are unhappy with the shape or size of their nose or have problems may be suitable for rhinoplasty. The appropriate age for this surgery is usually after the nose has completed growth (around 18 years of age).
Yes, methods such as filler injections can be used to correct minor nose corrections without the need for surgery. These methods are temporary and require repetition. There is another technique for nose surgery, which is the piezoelectric method. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty differs from traditional rhinoplasty in that the surgeon must make a larger incision in the nasal skin to use the device. This device can only be used in open rhinoplasty surgeries that require external incisions. Piezoelectric instruments (PEI) work precisely on hard bones and cartilage, without damaging tissues such as skin and mucosa. Also, the fracture lines created by PEI are very precise, eliminating the risk of the fracture spreading to other areas.
Before rhinoplasty surgery, a complete consultation with the surgeon should be done and the necessary tests, including blood tests and a medical history, should be performed. Also, the use of certain medications and smoking should be stopped.
Factors such as skin type, nasal structure, and the patient’s expectations of the surgical outcome can affect the success of rhinoplasty. All of these are discussed during your consultation and visit to determine what is right for you.
Rhinoplasty results are usually permanent, but slight changes may occur over time due to factors such as aging.
