What is Nose Aesthetics (Rhinoplasty)?
The goal of rhinoplasty surgery is to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose while also optimizing its breathing function. These operations are performed to enhance the nose’s external appearance or to resolve breathing problems, aiming to correct various deformities.
Deformities such as curvature, drooping, thinness, and thickness that are perceived as bothersome can be corrected with simple interventions tailored to the individual. These interventions, which vary for each person, include reducing the excess nasal hump, lifting the tip of the nose, shortening excessive length, and correcting low nasal openings.
How is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed from inside the nose or through a small external incision at the base of the nose between the nostrils. During this process, your doctor reshapes the underlying bone and cartilage. Various changes are made depending on the structure of your nose and the existing cartilage and bone condition. At the end of the surgery, both an improved breathing function and an aesthetic appearance are achieved.
Am I a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
Nose surgery is a highly personalized operation. It is important to make this decision for yourself rather than based on someone else’s desires. If you have completed your growth process and have positive, realistic goals, you can be a good candidate for rhinoplasty.
