Rhinoplasty, also known as “rhinoplasty,” is a surgical procedure that aims to change the shape, size or function of the nose. Rhinoplasty surgery is widely performed and thousands of people choose this procedure every year. Rhinoplasty is not only performed for cosmetic purposes but also serves functional purposes. This operation also helps people with breathing difficulties or other nasal problems.

How is Rhinoplasty Done?
Rhinoplasty can be performed with an open or closed approach. In the closed approach, incisions are made inside the nostrils and leave no visible external scars. On the other hand, in the open approach, an additional small incision is made along the columella, which is the strip of tissue between the nostrils. Surgeons performing this procedure generally choose the approach based on the complexity of the procedure and the desired outcome.

During rhinoplasty surgery, the surgeon may reshape the nasal bones, cartilage, or tissue to achieve the desired aesthetic or functional result. Techniques such as removing excess tissue, reconstructing the nasal skeleton, or adding implants or grafts may be used. The procedure usually takes several hours under general or local anesthesia, and patients may need to temporarily wear nasal splints or packs after surgery to support the newly shaped nose.

For those seeking aesthetic enhancement, nasal rhinoplasty expertly addresses concerns such as a pronounced back hump, a rounded or bulbous tip, or any asymmetry that disrupts facial harmony. With meticulous attention to detail, the procedure ensures that your nose contours are harmoniously shaped to emphasize your natural beauty.

Beyond its cosmetic benefits, rhinoplasty is also adept at resolving functional disorders. Whether you suffer from nasal congestion due to a deviated septum or narrow nasal passages, this procedure provides relief by restoring proper airflow and nasal function.

Through personalized consultation and precise surgical techniques, nasal rhinoplasty is tailored to your specific anatomical features and desired results, delivering a result that not only improves your appearance but also improves your overall nasal function and health.
The goals of rhinoplasty vary from patient to patient and are often tailored to meet patients’ specific needs and desires. Surgeons work closely with patients during preoperative consultations to understand their goals and develop a customized surgical plan that addresses their concerns while maintaining harmony with their facial features.

Nose Augmentation

Nose augmentation, as the name suggests, involves enlarging or improving the size or shape of the nose. This procedure is typically sought by people who want a more defined nose bridge, more nasal tip projection, or an overall increase in the size of their nose. Nose augmentation can be performed using various techniques such as implants, grafts or filler injections.

Implants or grafts can be made of synthetic materials, such as silicone, or natural tissues taken from the patient’s body, such as cartilage from the septum or ear. These implants, or grafts, are strategically placed to augment specific areas of the nose, improving its appearance while maintaining natural-looking results. Fillers, on the other hand, are temporary, non-surgical options that involve injecting substances such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite to add volume or reshape the nose.

Rhinoplasty, nasal rhinoplasty, and nose augmentation are surgical procedures that aim to reshape or improve the appearance and function of the nose. Whether correcting aesthetic defects, addressing functional problems or ensuring facial harmony, these operations offer individuals the opportunity to achieve the rhinoplasty they desire and improve their quality of life. If you are considering any of these operations, it is very important that you consult a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, expectations and the treatment options that are best for you.
