Rinoplasti işlemi nasıl yapılır?

RHINOPLASTY IS A SURGICAL PROCEDURE PERFORMED TO CHANGE THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF THE NOSE. THIS SURGERY INVOLVES SHAPING THE NASAL BONE AND CARTILAGE.

Rhinoplasty surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery may vary depending on the extent of the surgery. A simple rhinoplasty surgery usually takes 1-2 hours. A more extensive rhinoplasty surgery may take 3-4 hours.

Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed using two different techniques:

  • Closed rhinoplasty:  In this technique, incisions are made inside the nostrils. This way, no external scars are left.
  • Open rhinoplasty:  In this technique, a small incision is made between the nostrils. This incision is made to better see the tip of the nose.

The surgery usually consists of the following stages:

  1. Anesthesia:  The patient is given general anesthesia.
  2. Incisions:  Incisions are made.
  3. Shaping the nasal bone:  The nasal bone is filed or cut as necessary.
  4. Shaping the nasal cartilage:  Nasal cartilage is cut, moved or added as needed.
  5. Stitches: The incisions are stitched.

After surgery, swelling and bruising may occur in the nose. This swelling and bruising usually subsides within the first few weeks after surgery. After surgery, the nose is covered with packing for approximately 6 weeks. These packings are used to prevent blood and fluids placed during surgery from draining out.

The recovery process after rhinoplasty surgery usually takes 6-12 months. During this time, swelling and bruising in the nose disappear completely. It usually takes 1-2 years for the nose shape to completely settle.

Some points to consider after rhinoplasty surgery are:

  • Follow your doctor’s instructions.
  • Drink plenty of fluids.
  • Take your painkillers regularly.
  • Protect your nose from impacts.
  • Do not lift weights or do strenuous exercise.
  • Do not smoke.
  • Protect yourself from the sun.

Rhinoplasty surgery can be an effective way to change the shape and size of the nose. However, it is important to do careful research and choose an experienced surgeon before undergoing surgery.
