Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the size, shape and proportions of the nose. Although rhinoplasty is usually performed for aesthetic reasons, it can also be performed to correct breathing problems or to correct the consequences of nasal injuries.
Rhinoplasty can be performed for a variety of reasons and can be performed using a number of different techniques and methods. Here is a general summary of the types of rhinoplasty:
- Nose Tip Aesthetics:
-
- It is a type of rhinoplasty that aims to correct the shape and size of the tip of the nose. It is suitable for patients who want to make the tip of the nose smaller, more upturned or straighter.
- Rhinoplasty:
-
- It aims to correct irregularities or protrusions on the bridge of the nose. It is generally preferred by patients who want to straighten the bridge of the nose and achieve a smoother profile.
- Aesthetics of Nose Wings:
-
- It aims to correct the widening or deformities of the nasal wings. This procedure is intended for patients who want to correct the angle between the nasal wings and balance the tip of the nose and overall appearance.
- Functional Rhinoplasty:
-
- In addition to rhinoplasty, it aims to correct the curvature of the nasal structures, the septum (the partition inside the nose) or to improve breathing. This brings together aesthetic and functional improvements.
- Reconstructive Rhinoplasty:
-
- It is performed to repair large nasal defects resulting from nasal trauma, cancer surgery, or congenital deformities.
Rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia, although in some cases local anesthesia or sedation may also be used. During a rhinoplasty procedure, incisions are made and tissues are rearranged to reshape the nasal structure and achieve the desired results.
Each rhinoplasty procedure is planned based on the patient’s individual needs and aesthetic goals. Therefore, individuals considering this type of surgery should have a detailed consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon and clearly communicate their expectations.
