Rhinoplasty at CLINICS UNITED

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgeries. It is performed to people who are uncomfortable with the appearance of the nose and want to change it or who have a deterioration in the shape of the nose for various reasons. The nose is not just an organ related to visual aesthetics, it has important functions such as breathing and smelling. For this reason, if there are problems that cause insufficiency in nasal function such as nasal curvature (deviation), flesh growth (concha hypertrophy) or valve insufficiency during rhinoplasty, they must be corrected during plastic surgery.

Our nose, which is one of the most important parts of our body due to its location, can cause greater effects in our lives than we think when it comes to deformities. Especially the negativities in social life, business life and the problems experienced in bilateral relations can cause the person to have psychological difficulties and even to lose self-confidence. Therefore, beyond being an aesthetic concern, rhinoplasty may be a necessity in some cases.

The aim of rhinoplasty is to shape the nose in accordance with the face shape, and breathing problems due to bone and cartilage tissue curvatures can also be eliminated.

Rhinoplasty surgery takes about 1 to 3 hours on average. Nasal aesthetic surgeries, which can be performed under general or local anesthesia, are basically performed with two different techniques, open and closed.

In closed technique rhinoplasty, incisions are made through the nose.

In the open technique, in addition to the incisions made through the nose, a very small incision of approximately 2 millimeters in length is made in the columella of the nose (the part that is visible from the outside of the middle support).

In cases where the nose wings need to be narrowed, additional incisions of approximately 5-6 millimeters can be made in the fold at the base of the nose wings.

Open and closed techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. Since the anatomy of each patient is unique, there is no standard rhinoplasty application and a clear technique is not recommended before the examination.
