Rhinoplasty is a surgery performed for reshaping and reconstructing the nose. The aim is to form a new nose with better functioning and appearance. Moreover, the deviated septum that makes breathing difficult can be corrected with rhinoplasty surgery.

The nose job aims to reshape the nose with reference to facial characteristics. Since this surgery is carried out on nose, patient’s nose also affects the success of the surgery. In other words; thickness of skin, thin cartilages and the native form of the nose as well as the wound healing process and your history of nose surgery determine the success rate. The aim is not forming a nose that does not match the facial appearance. Therefore, forming the best nose alone will not solve the problems. The best outcome is regarded as a nose that fits the face best. Accordingly, requesting to mimic nose of another person is also wrong. If a beautiful nose is formed that does not look as if operated and a better breathing is achieved comparing to preoperative course, this means that your surgery is successful.

Nose jobs are the most common aesthetic surgeries worldwide. The surgery lasts two to five hours depending on the extent of the procedure. If nasal bone is operated on, bruising and swellings may occur in postoperative period. However they are far less severe comparing to former surgical methods. Generally, silicone pads are placed in the nasal cavity to let you breathe easier after the surgery and small casting and plasters are applied outside of the nose.

Postoperative pain is not a matter of concern. Only simple pain killers are needed to alleviate the pain. Intra-nasal silicone pads are removed two days later and breathing returns to normal pattern. This pad removal procedure is far less painful than removal of classical gauze pads and it takes a very short time.

PROMINENT EAR SURGERY (OTOPLASTY)

With otoplasty surgery, it is possible to correct the severely prominent ear, also called cauliflower ears colloquially, as well as the congenital or acquired ear and ear lobe deformities. No severe pain is generally experienced after the surgery; a mild pain can be expected that can be managed with painkillers. A head bandage is worn at day time and in the evening for one week; patients are asked to wear the bandage only in the evening in several subsequent weeks. While children can start the school a week later, adults may engage in work earlier.
