Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Rhinoplasty is a procedure that reshapes or modifies the nose to create better harmony with other facial features. The objectives of rhinoplasty vary, from cosmetic enhancement to achieving a more balanced and attractive nose, which we will cover further in this article. The second purpose is often medical, aimed at improving nasal functions, addressing issues like snoring or breathing difficulties. Sometimes, the procedure serves both aesthetic and functional goals simultaneously.

Common Reasons for Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty may be performed for various reasons, including narrowing or widening the nostrils, correcting a deviated nasal bridge, reducing nose size, fixing nasal fractures, correcting congenital nasal deformities, or repositioning the nasal tip.

Why Consider Rhinoplasty?

The nose is a vital facial feature that significantly contributes to one’s unique beauty and symmetry. This makes nasal appearance a major concern, especially among women. Rhinoplasty has thus become one of the most requested cosmetic surgeries. Beyond cosmetic reasons, many individuals who experience breathing difficulties, nasal obstructions, or structural issues with nasal cartilage and bones — including conditions like sinus infections, allergies, and other nasal health problems — are advised by ENT specialists to consider rhinoplasty. This surgery often provides immediate and effective relief for breathing issues and other related health concerns.

Am I a Candidate for Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty should meet the following criteria:

• Non-smokers: Smoking can hinder recovery; this can be managed by consulting with a doctor about cessation options.
• Good Health: Candidates should be in good health and willing to share their medical history, especially if they have had any facial or nasal surgeries.
• Age Requirement: Candidates should be over 18, allowing for fully developed facial bones.

The cosmetic surgeon at Dr. Al Akkad’s team will use advanced technology to show patients the expected outcomes before surgery. Patients must have realistic expectations and be open to the changes in their nasal appearance post-procedure.

What to Expect After Rhinoplasty

Following rhinoplasty, patients may need to wear a nasal splint for about a week. This helps stabilize nasal tissues as they heal. Swelling, which may last around two weeks, is common. With proper care and adherence to post-operative instructions, the skin will gradually return to its normal color, and swelling will subside over time.

For those looking to minimize recovery time or reduce swelling, ultrasound-assisted rhinoplasty is an available option. (Read more about ultrasound rhinoplasty)

Rhinoplasty | Important Tips

Rhinoplasty | Steps to Follow After Rhinoplasty Surgery

Rhinoplasty: After surgery, the doctor will apply external splints, and in some cases, internal splints may be used to help stabilize the nose shape and hold the upper and lateral cartilages in place. These splints might remain for up to a week or less, depending on the patient’s needs and the doctor’s evaluation.

Patients may experience headaches post-surgery, which may persist for a while. This can typically be managed with pain relief medication, as recommended by the doctor. It’s also advised to avoid direct sun exposure on the nose area to prevent skin discoloration. Following all doctor-prescribed medications and instructions is crucial. If any unexpected symptoms occur, such as sudden bleeding, maintaining contact with Dr. Al Akkad’s team is essential for prompt support.
