Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to correct or enhance the shape, size, or function of the nose. This surgery can be done for aesthetic reasons as well as to improve or correct nasal functions. Rhinoplasty aims to achieve various goals, such as harmonizing the overall appearance and proportions of the nose with a person's face, correcting shape irregularities on the nose, and addressing breathing problems. Rhinoplasty procedures may involve reshaping the nasal bone and cartilage.

- Aesthetic Reasons: An individual may want to correct dissatisfaction with the shape or size of their nose. Rhinoplasty can achieve a more symmetric nose, correct depressions or protrusions on the nasal bridge, and alter the shape of the nasal tip.
- Post-Traumatic Correction: Nose deformities resulting from accidents, blows, or injuries can be corrected through rhinoplasty.
- Breathing Issues: Deviated nasal septum or other anatomical abnormalities can make breathing difficult. Rhinoplasty can be used to correct such conditions and improve breathing.
- Congenital Anomalies: Nose shape deformities present from birth can also be attempted to be corrected with rhinoplasty.
Regardless of the reason for choosing rhinoplasty, it’s important for it to be performed by an expert surgeon, and for the patient and doctor to be on the same page.
The recovery process after surgery generally takes a few weeks, and temporary side effects like swelling and bruising might occur. However, it should be noted that it can take up to a year for the nose to fully settle into its new form.
What Are The Types Of Rhinoplasty?
Classical Rhinoplasty (Aesthetic Rhinoplasty)
This type of rhinoplasty aims to enhance the overall appearance and proportions of the nose. It includes aesthetic purposes such as correcting bumps or indentations on the nasal bridge, changing the shape of the nasal tip, or achieving nose symmetry.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty is focused on improving nasal breathing pathways. If factors like anatomical abnormalities within the nose or deviated nasal septum hinder proper breathing, these surgeries are performed to enhance respiratory function.
Revision Rhinoplasty
If the results of a previous rhinoplasty surgery are not satisfactory or functional issues persist, revision rhinoplasty is performed to address and correct the issues that need correction.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Different ethnic groups may have distinct nasal structures. Ethnic rhinoplasty aims to customize the nose surgery to align with an individual's ethnic characteristics.
Nasal Tip Surgery
This type of rhinoplasty is conducted to alter the shape and size of the nasal tip. It may involve correcting drooping of the nasal tip, lifting the nasal tip, or creating a more aesthetically pleasing nasal tip appearance.
