Procedure Overview
Consultation: The journey begins with a discussion with a board-certified plastic
surgeon or otolaryngologist (ENT) specializing
in rhinoplasty. During this appointment, the surgeon evaluates the patient's nasal structure,
discusses their aesthetic preferences, and develops
a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique requirements and facial proportions.
Treatment Planning: Based on the patient's preferences and nasal structure, the surgeon
recommends the most applicable techniques
for achieving the desired nasal figure. This may include reducing a dorsal hump, refining the nasal
tip, narrowing the nostrils, or correcting
breathing difficulties through septoplasty.
Surgery: Rhinoplasty surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia to ensure
the patient's comfort and safety throughout
the procedure. Depending on the surgical approach (open or closed), the surgeon makes discreet
incisions either inside the nostrils (closed
rhinoplasty) or across the columella (open rhinoplasty) to access the nasal structures and perform
the necessary modifications.
Reshaping and Reconstruction: Using technical surgical instruments, the surgeon
reshapes the nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissue
to achieve the desired nasal figure and proportions. Careful attention is paid to maintaining nasal
function and achieving natural-looking results
that complement the patient's facial features.
Closure and Recovery: Once the desired changes are made, the incisions are meticulously
closed with sutures or surgical tape, and
nasal splints or packing may be applied to support the healing process. Patients are provided with
post-operative instructions and medications
to manage discomfort and reduce the risk of complications.
