Rhinoplasty in Izmir

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as nasal aesthetics, is a surgical procedure performed to correct the shape of the nose and simultaneously improve nasal functions. It can be done using open or closed techniques and must be specially planned for each patient.

The primary goal of rhinoplasty is to create a natural-looking nose that fits the patient's age, expectations, facial features, and gender. After rhinoplasty, the nose will be proportionate to the patient's face, the surgery will not be obvious, the patient will continue to breathe comfortably, and if no secondary procedures (revision surgeries) are needed, the surgery can be considered successful.

Who Can Undergo Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is suitable for individuals who:

• Have congenital deformities affecting their breathing.
• Have experienced trauma to the nose.
• Have a nose shape that does not match the overall proportions of their face.
• Want a more naturally appearing nose and to resolve nasal obstruction issues.
• Have completed the development of nasal bones.
• Are psychologically prepared for cosmetic surgery.

During rhinoplasty:

• The nasal bridge can be corrected.
• The nostrils can be reduced, narrowed, or widened.
• The nasal tip can be lifted, narrowed, or widened.
• The nose can be reduced or enlarged.
• Nasal deviations can be corrected.

What is Natural Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty procedures are complex and require the surgeon to continuously improve their skills. Each rhinoplasty should be tailored specifically to the patient. Therefore, pre-operative patient-doctor consultations and facial analysis results are crucial for the success of the surgery.

Those considering rhinoplasty should not have a fixed image of their ideal nose. Each person's face shape, jaw structure, eye shape, prominence of cheekbones, cheeks, forehead width, and the distance between the nose and lips vary. It is important to acknowledge that there is a significant difference between a nose that looks natural on a small face and one that suits a broader face.

With advancements in technology, pre-operative photos of the patient's face are often used. Based on the patient’s expectations and facial analysis results gathered during consultations, a nose design is created, and the patient can see a preview of how their new nose will look. While computer simulations do not provide definite results due to individual variations in tissue and healing, they are useful for helping the doctor understand what the patient wants and what type of nose will suit the patient's face.
