Rhinoplasty can be performed on anyone over the age of 18 who is physically and mentally healthy.

I have performed 5% rhinoplasty revision in 4,500 rhinoplasty operations I have performed in my professional life.

The majority of rhinoplasty revisions are caused by healing problems and a small number of them are caused by blows received in the early period.

Before rhinoplasty, surgical planning is applied in a very detailed and meticulous manner. It is ensured that the person achieves the desired nose shape and size without damaging the functional properties of the nasal organ.

HEALING after NOSE AESTHETICS surgeries cannot be accelerated by external intervention and medications. Aesthetic nose surgery recovery is a long process and requires patience and time. Recovery from rhinoplasty surgery can take a period of time ranging from 6 months to 2 years. Although there is some excitement before rhinoplasty, it is usually comfortable after rhinoplasty. 

In this article, you will find information about rhinoplasty surgery recovery, nasal care after the operation process, surgery prices, and before and after aesthetic nose surgery. We will also examine the Effect of Nose Care in the Rhinoplasty Recovery Process.

Please give yourself time for your new nose to reach its best form.

How to Prepare for Surgery Before Rhinoplasty?

The nose is an organ that has both functional and visual importance. For this reason, rhinoplasty surgery aims not only to correct the visual appearance, but also to eliminate breathing problems. Rhinoplasty also corrects deformities in the nose and physical and functional disorders that cause difficulty in breathing. The important thing is; It is not a standard nose surgery, but a natural nose shape suitable for the patient's needs and face, as well as a healthy nasal breathing that breathes comfortably.

Patients apply to aesthetic nose surgeons with various complaints; excessively large nose, wide nose, arched nose, short nose, wide nostrils, curved nose, low nasal tip. What can be done is discussed mutually and the most appropriate surgery is planned in line with their expectations. The general health status of the patients is also evaluated during the interview. Although there is no strict age restriction, it is recommended to be over the age of 18.

What is the Recovery Process After Rhinoplasty Surgery?

Recovery after rhinoplasty surgery is not accelerated by external intervention and medications. Aesthetic nose surgery recovery is a long process and requires patience and time. Rhinoplasty surgery recovery is completed in 6 months to 1 year in thin-skinned noses. This period can take a period of time ranging from 1 to 2 years in thick-skinned noses. Please give yourself time to reach the best state of your nose.

Although there is some excitement before rhinoplasty surgery, it is usually comfortable after rhinoplasty. You can be discharged from the hospital and go home the same day or the next day after the surgery. Sometimes you may need to stay in the hospital overnight. You should not eat or drink anything for 4-6 hours after nose surgery. You can wet your lips for dryness that may occur in your mouth. It is recommended that you start eating light watery foods. There is not much pain after nose surgery. If there are complaints such as mild pain, nausea and vomiting, they can be controlled with medication. Resting with your head elevated will reduce your problems. There may be a slight bloody leakage from the nose for the first two days after aesthetic nose surgery. You should spend the first two days after the surgery resting.

On the third day, you can return to your daily activities that are not too strenuous. The most important rule is to protect the nose from impacts after the surgery and to protect the nose from harsh traumas such as pinching, pulling, hand blowing for the first two months. MOUTH MUST BE OPEN IN SPHYING, which is a reflex and cannot be prevented. Soft blowing with breath and nasal care can be done with sea water.

When Does Nasal Swelling and Edema Pass?

After aesthetic surgeries, swelling occurs in more or less all noses and around the eyes. Cold ice application for 10 to 15 minutes per hour for the first three days around the eyes after rhinoplasty reduces swelling. Swelling around the nose peaks in the first three days and starts to decrease after the third day. After 5 to 7 days after the nasal intervention, there is no significant edema and the swelling is largely reduced. While it takes 6 to 12 months for the edema in the nose to completely decrease and the nose to take its final form, this period is longer in individuals with thick nasal skin and can take 1 to 2 years. In terms of the process of nasal swelling, the eye area heals first. Then the middle of the back of the nose and then the swelling of the nose near the eyebrows and finally the nasal tip edema goes down.

Recovery after rhinoplasty surgery takes time and requires patience. Your first check-up after rhinoplasty surgery will be on the 10th day and you will be mostly healed by the end of this period. In this control, the soft silicone tubes inside the nose and the thermoplastic splint on top are removed. You may not get used to your first appearance due to swelling and you may not even like it. Most of the swelling on your face goes down in 3 to 5 days. If bruising occurs, it usually resolves spontaneously within two weeks. Bruise healing can sometimes take up to 1 month and can also be seen on the whites of the eyes. You should not wear glasses for the first 2 months after rhinoplasty surgery. It will take up to a year for your nose to take its final shape. Recovery is a long process that cannot be accelerated and requires patience and time. Please give yourself time to get used to your new face.

Human bodies respond differently to injury and healing. Each body cell organization forms a unique and special structure that is unlike any other. This is why each body reacts differently to the same or similar events. Human faces have a unique richness that is never alike, even though they are made up of the same structures. Since no two faces and noses are alike, the results will be different.

Nose Care is Important After Nose Surgery
NOSE CARE After Aesthetic Nose Surgery and to keep the nose clean, it is necessary to know how to do the nose cleaning process. Whether it is nasal aesthetic surgery or nasal bone and cartilage fracture operations performed to breathe comfortably through the nose, a good recovery process is required to have a beautiful nose after surgery, and for this, careful nose care is required.

It is possible that “Nose Aesthetic Surgery” has effects that touch the soul beyond the human body. The nose directly affects the beauty of the face, as it is located in the center of the eyes and lips, which are the symbols of aesthetic beauty, in a place that attracts attention. Therefore, people who are not satisfied with the appearance of their nose may experience self-confidence problems.

The fact that the nose is larger or smaller than the face or the presence of deformities such as curvature and arch overshadows the harmony of the face and the beauty of the person. Those who are uncomfortable with their appearance are inevitably affected psychologically, they lose their self-confidence and become unhappy when entering an environment.

The fact that the nose is compatible with the face gives the person an aesthetic and beautiful appearance. The beauty of the face, which is the most striking area of our body, makes the person much more satisfied with himself. People who are satisfied with themselves are more positive towards life. This has a positive effect on people's work, school and social life. They are more self-confident and have better relationships with people.

Rhinoplasty operations are not only surgical interventions, but also a skill work like a branch of art. Rhinoplasty surgery requires a successful planning process. The surgeon needs to plan a nose shape that is proportional and compatible with the person's face shape. Completing the shape of the face, as if the nose is a missing part of the face, will be both a natural and aesthetically perfect appearance. For this reason, aesthetic nose surgery is in a sense an artistic look and touch.

Of course, the expected results from rhinoplasty should be reasonable and realistic. People usually want the same nose shape they like, but not every nose shape is suitable for every face type. For this reason, the wishes and expectations of the person should be taken into consideration during the planning process, but the surgeon's recommendations and planning should be followed in the actual decision stage. Because rhinoplasty is not only a surgery but also an aesthetic point of view.

In order for the rhinoplasty surgery to be successful, the result must be performed naturally so that it is not obvious that the person has undergone the operation. For this reason, it is necessary to make a plan proportional to the person's face and to plan the surgery individually.

“Nose Aesthetic Surgery” can be performed with two techniques, open or closed. The surgeon decides which technique will be used for the operation. There are only differences in the way of application between these two techniques. Achieved result and success; It is the same if it is applied by experienced surgeons.

Every surgeon gains experience and becomes professional in the form of an operation. Some surgeons prefer open rhinoplasty, while others prefer closed rhinoplasty. Since closed rhinoplasty is performed through the nostrils, the incisions are made from the inside of the nose. Therefore, there is no trace left when viewed from the outside. Closed rhinoplasty is recommended for patients who are simpler and do not interfere with the tip of the nose.

In open rhinoplasty, the surgeon can see the bones and cartilages of the nose more clearly. Therefore, it is possible to intervene more in the nose. It seems easier and safer than closed rhinoplasty. Since it is easier and clearer, surgeons who learn rhinoplasty with the open technique generally continue to apply the rhinoplasty surgery with the open technique in their future lives. Open rhinoplasty is performed through an incision made at the base of the nose and this scar gradually disappears after the operation. The successful preservation of this scar and its lightness as much as possible depend on the success of the surgery and the experience of the surgeon. For this reason, obtaining a natural appearance without any traces shows the success of rhinoplasty surgery.

Rhinoplasty, the procedure that enables the person to achieve the desired nose shape without scars and exaggeration; In other words, it is the art of rhinoplasty. In addition to eliminating the shape and functional disorders of the nose, a successful rhinoplasty will also be good for the soul of the person.
