Details of Rhinoplasty in Turkey
Nose surgery, medically known as rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the overall proportion of the nose and face. A nose job can be performed for cosmetic and medical reasons, for example in the case of a deviated septum that leads to breathing problems. Septoplasty can be performed along with rhinoplasty and is called septoplasty. Since the nose will be fully developed after the age of 16, it is recommended to wait until the age of 16 before undergoing nose surgery.
Nose surgery takes about one to three hours depending on the complexity of the case and whether an additional procedure such as septoplasty is being performed. You may experience swelling after a few months of nose job which will gradually subside. After six months to one year, the skin will adjust to the designed nasal roof and reveal the final results. Nose surgery incisions are made from the inside or outside, depending on the case and the surgeon’s decision. In the open surgery technique, the incisions are made outside the nose. In the closed surgery technique, incisions are made inside the nose.
Nose characteristics and the patient’s expectations of surgery may shape the nose job technique. There are basically three types of nose surgery. Standard rhinoplasty which includes complete nose correction including nose tip, bridge and nose, rhinoplasty which includes complete nose correction along with correction of a deviated nasal septum, pointed nose tip which includes correction of tip and nose only. During nose surgery, there are two different approaches that the surgeon can follow according to the patient’s needs, suitability and preferences.
Open rhinoplasty: includes a small bridge incision, an incision across the nasal septum that connects the left and right nostrils. By creating 4-5 mm, the nasal skin is folded upwards and the lower nasal skeleton is noted. In addition to direct visualization of the entire nasal framework, individual components can be evaluated and deformation of the nasal cartilage reduced. Therefore, the open nose technique is an improved surgical access arising from a shallow incision.
Closed rhinoplasty: also called internal rhinoplasty, incisions are placed inside the nose, parallel incisions cover half of the lining of the nose, and the incision is not visible from the outside, thus an open scar is avoided. However, because the nostrils remain separate, repositioning the skin of the nose is difficult and the entire procedure must be performed through narrow surgical openings with limited vision. Since access to the nasal frame requires stretching of the nasal skin, deformation of the cartilage is more likely to occur during surgery. With closed rhinoplasty visible scarring is prevented but there are technical limitations and specific challenges that have emerged with the lack of surgical access.Rhinoplasty is mostly performed using the open technique because it allows greater access to the surgeon, especially in complex cases. The best technique to use for each case is determined during a consultation with the surgeons at the Turkiyaholidays Center. You can find out all the details when you
Rhinoplasty experiences in Turkey
Of course, your experience with rhinoplasty in Turkey will be better when you follow the instructions of your doctor who performed the procedure for you at the Turkiyaholidays Center regularly. The average time for rhinoplasty recovery is a maximum of one year. This may seem like a long time, but it becomes much more manageable when it’s broken down into a schedule. The following stages of recovery may vary from patient to patient, but in general, it is as follows:
- After 1 week: The splinter can be removed from your nose and you can go out in public without visible signs of surgery unless there is bruising around the eyes. This may take two weeks to resolve and it is safe to resume activities of daily living.
- After 2 weeks: Most of the facial swelling has subsided and most of the bruising has resolved.
- 3-4 weeks: You can safely return to cardiovascular activities such as jogging, swimming and cycling.
- 6 weeks: Bones are stable, and you can resume resistance training such as lifting weights, wearing glasses and blowing your nose.
- 3-6 months: The sensation of abnormal numbness in your nose and nasal skin should be resolved.
- After a full year: the healing process is complete, the swelling should have subsided completely, and the new shape of the nose should be fully stabilized.
How to perform rhinoplasty
Like any surgical procedure, preparation is beneficial for both a smooth surgery and recovery. To help reduce things like swelling, bleeding, and bruising especially in patients who are flying by plane for the procedure, our doctors recommend a strict regimen of applying certain herbal or homeopathic medicines that can help reduce bruising and pain before the surgery, as well as avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and smoking one month prior to the surgery.
Rhinoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis and can be performed in one of two ways: open or closed, as mentioned above. Both approaches involve incisions made within the inner nasal area, but the open rhinoplasty approach adds an external incision a few millimeters across the surface of the tissues that divide the nose.
This external cut leaves a permanent scar and the skin of the nose is not exposed similar to opening the hood of a car, so that the internal structures of the nose are visible. This allows you to make massive changes to the nose, take things apart more easily, and rebuild the nose. This is necessary for failure or revision previously performed on a nose with very difficult anatomy.
With closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nose, which means there are no external incisions and no risk of scarring. Through these internal incisions the nose is shaped and then sculpted to make minor changes. The face is not changed, but we soften and improve the overall balance. Ultimately, the plastic surgeon will select the best rhinoplasty incisions based on the specific structural modifications required for the patient.
After rhinoplasty
The nasal recovery process takes 1-2 weeks and most patients are back to work within 10 days. You can also expect to feel swelling, bruising, and a feeling of stuffiness, but not necessarily pain. Most patients do not require prescription pain medication and as soon as you remove the bandages, that feeling should go away. In general, the experience of rhinoplasty varies from one patient to another, depending on the type of operation and the amount of changes required.
How much swelling you have really depends on you and your surgeon’s technique, not the type of rhinoplasty used during surgery. The amount of swelling after rhinoplasty in Turkey depends on the type of rhinoplasty that is performed, the thickness of the skin, and the amount of change required at the tip of the nose, and it is noted that some patients need pain medications and steroids at the tip of the nose to reduce swelling in that area for several months after the operation . A clean open rhinoplasty can result in minimal swelling, while with a closed procedure that is not done in ideal tissue and cartilage, you can have a lot of swelling. If the dissection goes through the soft tissues or muscles above the cartilage, more bleeding and swelling will develop.
Despite some swelling, you will see a noticeable difference once the bandages are removed. If you used to have a bump in the nasal structure, that should disappear right away. However, it may take up to a year for your nasal skin to tighten up to the new structure so that you can see the true shape of your new nose.
The results are permanent, regardless of the natural changes that come with the aging process. If you are not satisfied with your results or experience breathing difficulties once your nose has healed, you may be a candidate for revision rhinoplasty. In many cases, scar tissue is the main cause. The strength of the scar is the reason for another revision and can pull the nose one way or the other, when this happens the surgeon has to go back to work and adjust the operation.
Revision rhinoplasty is a complex operation, because the surgeon now has to deal with thick scar tissue which makes it difficult to lift the skin and soft tissues from the cartilage. In addition, we often need to reconstruct part of the nose, so we need to take cartilage from other sources. Surgeons say the minimum amount of time to wait before you can have a revision rhinoplasty, even if there is an obvious problem, is a year.
