Nasal Tip Plasty

Deformity of the nose can cause psychological problems or complexness in men and women. Functional rhinoplasty is aimed at both appearance and function correction.
In Which Cases can Rhinoplasty be Performed?

Although rhinoplasty is more preferred for appearance, some of our patients also apply with respiratory complaints. In this case, if there is a defect in the appearance, it is stated that also this defect may have to be resolved while the respiratory problem is cured. Persons who are considering having a rhinoplasty  should be older than 18 years of age.

Naturality in Rhinoplasty

The main purpose ofrhinoplasty is to create a natural look that matches the face of that woman or man, and compatible with the other parts of the face, if possible that the operation is not discerned. The operation must be completely personal. Before the operation, the patient and the surgeon should talk in detail, and  the most appropriate nose for the patient should be performed by the surgeon, considering the expectations of the patient.

What Should Be Paid Attention Before Rhinoplasty Having Performed?

Regular sleep is, as always, important in nasal surgery. If there are drugs used, they certainly should be reported to the specialist physician.
The use of medications, such as aspirin, may cause bleeding problems during and after surgery. Therefore, use of such drugs should be discontinued at least 15 days prior to surgery. At the same time, if the contraceptive pill is used, the physician must be notified before the operation.

Smoking should be quitted at least 15 days prior to the operation. This allows the wound to heal faster and free of problems. Similarly, it is very important not to use alcohol. Before surgery, nothing should be consumed, including water, for at least 6 hours. You can also contact us for rhinoplasty prices.

How is Rhinoplasty Performed?

Nasal surgery is performed under general anesthesia. It takes between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. Postoperatively, nasal tampons with holes are used for an average of 1 to 3 days, and the nose cast is removed after a week.
Usually, after completing a week, most people can return to their daily life, social activity and work.
The techniques used during the operation are divided into two as open and closed methods. Today, most surgeons prefer the open method, but there are also those who perform the operation with closed method.
There is no scarring problem after nasal surgeries. Although rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia, some aesthetic problems of the nose can be solved easily under local anesthesia. In the cases of mild nasal hump, it is quite successful to shave the nose back with closed method. In cases of mild nasal tip lowness, with a small intervention under local anesthesia, very successful results can be obtained.

After Rhinoplasty Surgery

Patient satisfaction and success rates after surgery are directly proportional to the experience of and the technique used by the surgeon, and the patient's expectation.
An experienced surgeon's success and patient satisfaction rate is over 90 percent.

However, some patients may not achieve the desired results after the operation and a second operation may be required. In such cases, the patient should be re-interviewed by his / her physician, detailed analysis of the existing problems should be done together, expectations should be reviewed and making a new operation decision may be necessary.

The timing of the second operation may vary with the severity of the patient's problems. In cases with obvious problems after surgery, the second intervention may be required in a short time. However, it is usually more appropriate to wait a few months or even a year for a second intervention.

This situation may negatively affect daily lives, business success, academic success and family life in women or men, who are disturbed by the shape of their nose. Sometimes, severe lack of self-confidence in people with this problem may be observed. Because of thedeformity of their nose , there are people who do not want to go to school, do not want to go to work, do not want to get married. Because of the psychological changes caused by this complex, these people may experience failures in family and social relations and friendship.

It should be kept in mind that rhinoplasty does not only change physically the appearance, but also has a positive effect on the psychological structure of the person who has undergone the operation.

Planning of Rhinoplasty

One of the most important issues is the making the decision on type of nose by the patient who will undergo the operation and by the physician who will perform the operation together and by understanding each other. Although the most ideal condition is a very natural nose type appropriate for the patient's facial structure, it should be kept in mind that some patients may want some types of

noses, which are clearly non-natural, and obviously recognizable of having  operated. Some people like the lifted, with lifted tip and curved-back nose type, while some people prefer the nose type that is straight and not lifted.

One thing to be aware of when performing this operation is that it should be remembered that there may be different nose type and approach in women and men.
In women, a feminine nose type is planned, while in men a more masculine nose type should be considered. In the operation, the forehead-nose and lip-nose angles show some differences in men and

women. Again, being slight curved-back and being straight of the nose are different in women and men.

The women or men who will have rhinoplasty , sometimes come with a photo of someone else, and express that they want a similar nose. This picture can be useful to the surgeon as a guide on what kind of nose the patient wants. However, it should be stated that the same type of nose may not always be appropriate for another person.

The Importance of Reality in Rhinoplasty Examination

Another important issue in the rhinoplasty is that some patients want to see the possible result before and after the surgery in various computer programs. Some surgeons use this method to show their patients the possible result after surgery. Many surgeons do not grant to this, and do not show the patient the possible result after surgery. At this stage, to show the before and after the operation photos

of another patient similar to the patient, and to consider by the surgeon the patient's thoughts and evaluations on this subject may be the right way.
However, to show the possible after-surgery photo of the patient himself may cause disappointment in many patients. Therefore, it is not correct to show the patient after-surgery pictures with various

computer applications. The purpose of the rhinoplasty  operation is to establish a nose with normal respiratory function, which is in normal size and shape, matching to the general face character of the patient, however, patient expectations should be taken into consideration, but if possible, it should be aimed to create a pleasant nose in natural lines without exaggeration.

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty

Among the plastic surgeries, the most interested one is the rhinoplasty; but fears or perturbations appear in people before the surgery. For those are experiencing this fear, the most appropriate method is the nose remodelling without surgery. As well as thenon-surgical rhinoplasty is not suitable for every nose, it is applied without any surgical intervention. It can be applied in three different regions, the nasal tip, the skin of the nose and the back of the nose.

How is Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Performed?

With special method for nasal tip   region, the nasal tip is lifted by injection into the area between the nose and upper lip. It is possible to perform in a few minutes compared to other operations. Another

method used for the nasal tip region is a temporary signalising of the nasal tip with fillers.
•    Holes and irregularities in the back region of the nose can be eliminated with filler.
•    For the curve of the back of the nose, by applying fillings to the front and back of the cartilage structure, the problem will be solved without rasping the back bone of the nose.
•    With the filling made in the common region of the nose and forehead, the nose is made more suitable for the face.
•    By peeling application and laser treatment, the nasal skin is revitalized, refreshed, brightened and the skin spots removed.
Having no scars after operations, requiring no anesthesia, no need for recovery after the operation, and performing the operation in a short time such as 10-15 minutes are the advantages of the

application. Being temporary and being limited are the disadvantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty. For people with no respiratory problems, with no significant curvature in the nose, with partial problems in the aesthetic appearance of the nose, non-surgical rhinoplasty is suitable. However, in order for the individual to have a non-surgical rhinoplasty, it is necessary to accept that this procedure is temporary

and that the nose will return to its original state after a while.
Nowadays, there are young and old alike who complain about deformity in their nose. Deformities in the nose may sometimes cause psychological problems.

At the same time, it may be necessary to examine the internal structure of the nose for a healthy breathing and then apply plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty is performed due to the fact that the nose has been

damaged too much in traffic accidents, or by falling, rubbing or hitting at young ages; and the nose is tried to remodelled similar to the old form or to be better matched to the face type.
Extremely large and humped nasal shapes, which do not fit the facial features, often disturb people. The long nose and the size of the nostrils are not pleasant when viewed from the side. During a one-

week period, you can get rid of your nose problems with rhinoplasty.

In individuals with nasal hump, after rasping the nose, successful results were obtained, and also the success is achieved by lifting the low nasal tip. After the rhinoplasty, whether open or closed method was used, absolutely no scar occurred at the nose and around the nose, so people feel comfortable.

Nasal Tip Plasty

It is called to the plastic surgery performed on the tip of the nose without intervening the bone and cartilage structure.  This operation, also known astip plasty , is more positive than rhinoplasty. Since there is no intervention in the structure of the bone and cartilage, it heals quickly and the operation is easy. Nasal tip plasty is performed without using buffer, splint and bandage. It is applied to everyone

after the age of 18 to complete the development of bone and soft structure in the nose. However, this age limit is flexible due to genetic and external factors.

Nasal Tip Plasty With Rope

It is the process of lifting the tip of the nose using permanent suturing tools. The aim here is to make the tip of the nose as snob. However, in this technique, the ropes are loosened and changed its color over time, and are thrown out by the body due to being blackened. The nasal tip plasty with ropeis not performed by the patients and doctors because the operation is not permanent.

Nasal Tip Filling

This method, which is performed nonoperatively, is to fill the nasal tip with temporary or permanent filling materials. This process, which does not require general or local anesthesia, ends within an average of 15 minutes. As the nasal tip plasty with rope, this procedure which is not permanent, is not a preferred procedure by patients and physicians.
