All Aspects of Nose Aesthetics (Rhinoplasty)

Nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) is a surgical method applied to eliminate deformities in the nose by preserving the respiratory function, which is the main function of the nose. The motivation for rhinoplasty applications may be to change the shape of the nose, improve the aesthetic appearance, improve breathing, or both.

The upper part of the nose structure consists of bone and the lower part consists of cartilage. Rhinoplasty applications make it possible to make changes in the nasal bone, nasal cartilage, nasal tip and nostrils and to reshape the nasal structure.

How Is Nose Surgery Performed?

Before the operation, your surgeon will determine the most suitable surgical method for you after performing the necessary tests and examinations.

• Open Nose Surgery

Open nose surgery is the method applied to correct the deformities of the nasal bone (septum) or the appearance of an arched nose, which occur as a result of trauma such as impact. In this method, an incision is made between the nostrils. The nasal skin is lifted and the nasal bone and cartilage structure are intervened openly.
