The operations that allow us to change the external appearance of the nose are called rhinoplasty. If we intervene in the curvature of the middle bone of the nose along with the external appearance, we call it septorhinoplasty. Our nose is an organ made up of bone and cartilage. It helps us to breathe, humidifies and filters the air we breathe.

The posterior 1/3 of the nose consists of bone and the anterior 2/3 of the cartilage structure. The surgeon who performs the operation to shape the nose reshapes the bone structure and cartilage. In rhinoplasty, we can file the bone tissue and correct the protrusions in the nose. Or we can narrow the side walls of the nose. We can bring the noses that are tilted to the right and left to the midline. With the septorhinoplasty surgery, we can correct the middle bone of the nose and enable you to breathe better and achieve the look you want. Our nose tip is made of cartilage tissue and therefore it is flexible and mobile.

By shaping these cartilages, we can make the tip of the nose thinner and smaller. In rhinoplasty, all kinds of changes can be made in the shape of the nose according to the wishes of the people. The important thing here is to consider the skin thickness of the person with the correct techniques used and to determine our limits. After the correct skin analysis is done, we can see in advance how much we can reduce the nose with the appropriate technique for the patient or whether the procedure will suit the patient's face. By evaluating the patient's skin type, bone structure and the entire nose anatomy, we decide whether the desired nose shape is suitable for the person's facial structure.

After designing a new nose shape with simulation programs and planning the new nose structure to be made to the person before the surgery, I inform all my patients about the rhinoplasty process as much as possible. There are many details that need to be known, such as how to take care of your nose in the post-operative period, what to eat, what you should pay attention to, and what situations you should avoid. If the correct information is not given before the operation, this can lead to consequences that negatively affect the aesthetic appearance. When patients who will have rhinoplasty for the first time decide for rhinoplasty, their confidence in their surgeon is of great importance. Because rhinoplasty surgeries are elective surgeries. In other words, it is not a disease that threatens the health of the person and needs to be operated urgently. People who are uncomfortable with the appearance of the nose and want to change it should wait until they find the right doctor and have surgery to people they trust. It is important to be in good communication with your doctor, to understand each other and to be at a good frequency.

The most accurate technique and shape is determined after the patient and physician talk to each other. It is decided whether open or closed technique can be performed in line with the doctor's experience and the patient's needs. Patients who need a second or third nose surgery such as revision rhinoplasty should be operated with the open technique, not the closed technique. It is much more advantageous to prefer an open technique in order to visually master the entire anatomy in noses that have structural problems and that lie to the right or left on a severe bone roof. In my meetings with my patients, I definitely evaluate the inside of the nose and identify the causes that may cause nasal congestion. And I always say: It's not enough just to have a beautiful nose, you must have a breathing nose as well.

The concept of beauty and health makes sense when they are aesthetically and functionally integrated.If you have a very bad-looking nose that breathes very well when there is one or the other, then it will negatively affect you spiritually. The purpose of my rhinoplasty is to create a nose where you can breathe both spiritually and physiologically. I see all my patients at least twice. Rhinoplasty operations should not be rushed. In order for the doctor to know the natural structure of the patient, to know his personality and to understand what he wants, he should sit down and talk and exchange ideas. When healthy communication cannot be established, both the doctor and the patient become unhappy and all the procedures are in vain. The expectations of my patients in rhinoplasty are always different. While some patients want a natural and unaesthetic appearance, some patients want a more upturned and assertive nose. The aim here is to create a tailor-made nose that suits your face. Rhinoplasty is a 'Haute Couture' business, like specially designed boutique dresses. Even in tailor-made dresses, the beauty is in the fine details and the craftsmanship of skilled tailors. There is a big difference between being a surgeon and being a surgeon with an aesthetic point of view. People who want to have rhinoplasty should prefer doctors with special interest and skills in this regard, for their own beauty and health. It is the right thing to do. I wish good luck and good health to those who are willing to do this. rhinoplasty 1SHOULD I HAVE rhinoplasty? Our nose is the organ that contributes the most to our beauty. Even if you have beautiful eyebrows, eyes and lips, a crooked nose in the middle of the face spoils this beauty. Looking beautiful, whether male or female, is the most important factor that positively affects business life, family life and personal psychology. It is possible for people with breathing problems to beautify their nose externally with the same surgery and have a beautiful nose that breathes better. If you have a problem with your appearance and you don't like your nose and this problem creates a lack of self-confidence, having surgery will make you feel good psychologically.

A person who believes that he is aesthetically beautiful will be more advantageous in life and his self-confidence is reflected in his whole life. That's why the decision to have rhinoplasty is a personal one. Even the closest family member cannot know what we are going through and the situation we are in. He knows the person best. Patients who decide to have rhinoplasty should wait for this idea to mature and choose their doctor well by obtaining the right information before surgery. Operations that closely affect facial beauty, such as rhinoplasty, should be performed by competent people at once, and nose-related problems should be resolved in one go. Today, there are many patients who are unhappy as a result of wrong choices and choices made without sufficient knowledge. Patients who have aesthetic and functional problems related to the nose should investigate and have surgery with a surgeon whom they feel close to personally and whom they trust as knowledge and experience. 

HOW IS THE PROCESS OF AESTHETIC NOSE SURGERY?

Rhinoplasty is an operation that requires the average person to rest for 10-15 days. It requires resting at home after the surgery and taking a break from work life until the tampons and plaster are removed. The plaster and tampons are removed for 3-5 days, and the skin-colored bandages are applied for the rest of the time. The person can return to work after the 10th day. This period is longer in revision nose surgeries. In cases where cartilage is removed from the rib or ear, this period may increase to 20 days. Swelling and bruises on the face completely disappear on the 15th day. The genetic structure of the person, the skin type and the type of the surgical procedure affect this period. There are many factors to be considered in the post-operative period. I inform my patients about this as much as I can. -Is the position of the patient with rhinoplasty important? -What is a diet list? What are the foods to eat or not to eat? -What do you need to pay attention to? -Can he do sports? -Do you need sun protection? -Can he enter the swimming pool or the sea? -Which drugs can be used after surgery? Such questions can be extended further. If you have knowledge about everything, you can pass this process more easily and you can have a more healthy and aesthetically beautiful nose. You should be able to ask your doctor any question that comes to your mind and get correct answers.

IS THERE PAIN AFTER AESTHETIC NOSE SURGERY?

Nose aesthetics is now a painless surgery with the developing technology. The pain threshold in rhinoplasty differs from person to person, but the feeling of pain is less than before due to the fact that the tampons are not the same as before, the use of more comfortable plasters and the development of surgical techniques. The thought that "the tampon hurts after the nose surgery", which was caused by the use of gauze tampons in the past, is no longer a problem experienced by our patients. Today, instead of gauze, which has caused this perception to persist in Turkish society for a long time, we now use silicone tampons. And today it takes 2 minutes to get a tampon. It is a short, painless procedure. The thermoplastic plasters we use are water-resistant materials that allow patients to take a shower comfortably. That's why after weeks of rhinoplasty, away from soap and water, there is no more. Patients can easily wash their hair and face and pass this process more easily. The medical materials we use today are of much higher quality and cause less damage to the tissue, which helps patients to have a comfortable and pain-free postoperative period. Although this period, which your doctor and you will spend with mutual patience and devotion, is a psychologically difficult process, being in constant communication with my patients makes this process easier. Nose aesthetics is now more comfortable, more comfortable Filing Process is More Preferred HOW DOES SKIN

THICKNESS AFFECT NOSE AESTHETICS?

The thickness of the skin is one of the most important factors affecting the result of rhinoplasty surgery. While planning the surgery, skin thickness should be considered as well as bone and cartilage structure. We surgeons reshape bone and cartilage in rhinoplasty. During the healing period, the skin wraps the new skeleton we have created and the nose begins to take its new shape. According to the skin thickness of the people, advantages and disadvantages appear in this process. The thinner the skin, the faster it wraps around the nasal skeleton. However, the thinness of the skin reflects the slightest irregularity and asymmetry that may occur on the back and tip of the nose.

Therefore, it is necessary to be very careful when performing rhinoplasty in thin-skinned patients. If your skin is thin, we take this situation into account and create a barrier on the bone and cartilage structure from soft tissues that we can call "lining" from the person's own body. In this way, we can hide any problem that may arise from the thinness of the skin. In patients with thick skin, the most important disadvantage is that it does not reflect the sharp lines and angles we create well. For this reason, we put extra cartilage in the nose to create an attractive nasal tip in patients with thick nasal skin. Sometimes we shave the skin from the inside to get the results we want. The purpose of this is that the skin wraps the new skeleton better and faster. Another point to be considered in patients with thick skin; There are difficulties with reducing the volume of the nose. In patients with very thick skin, the healing of the skin is slower than in patients with thin skin. When we make the tip and back of the nose too small, the skin immediately shrinks and it is difficult to wrap the new roof. Abnormal healing tissue can fill the space formed between the nasal skeleton and the skin.

This can lead to the emergence of unwanted nose shapes. Therefore, considering this situation in patients with thick skin, the nose should be reduced in a measured way. In addition, we strengthen the bone skeleton and cartilage more in the operation. In this way, we can achieve striking and excellent results. Patients with thick skin need to be patient as recovery times are longer. Patients with thick skin may need to wait 1 year or longer to see clearer results. As an experienced surgeon, I explain the thickness and quality of the skin to my patients during the interviews. I help my patients to determine the most suitable shape for their skin type by specifying the possible results in this regard. We call this “personalized nose design”. I make noses for all my patients according to their skin type. Aesthetic nose surgeries are surgeries that need to be planned down to the smallest detail. Beauty and aesthetics are hidden in the fine details.
