Rhinoplasty is one of the most complicated facial surgeries (Tasman 2007). It can be explained as an operation-assisted procedure for repairing and rebuilding any existing abnormalities or defects in the nasal septum. It is one of the most common procedures performed in modern medicine today. According to studies, millions of individuals desire to undergo rhinoplasty surgery each year. Each individual has varying requirements and expectations.

What is Augmentation Rhinoplasty?

According to Rohrich et al (2014), augmentation rhinoplasty refers to the procedure that uses autogenous tissues or implants for the patients who suffer from low nasal height due to inherited defects, trauma, infection, excessive reduction rhinoplasty, or submucosal resection.

What to know beforehand

Anyone considering a rhinoplasty procedure should first learn about the impact of the nose shape on the entire facial structure. The predicted outcomes can be proven by modeling the desired nose type on the computer before the procedure. The nose is not an afterthought when it comes to facial attractiveness; rather, it is a critical component. Rhinoplasty can correct the nose’s incompatibility with the rest of the face. Patients who are unhappy with the form, size, or function of their nose might have rhinoplasty to enhance their look or to remedy a breathing problem.

Augmentation rhinoplasty surgery, often known as nose reshaping or nose job, is carried out by combining a high-tech surgical method with thorough post-operative care. There are multiple surgical methods, and to get the greatest potential nose reconstruction outcomes, a nose job is planned using a thorough medical technique that takes into account each patient’s unique needs (Stucker 2003). Your experienced surgeon will be able to advise you about the possible appearance after the surgery and might show some before-after photos that are similar to your case.

Most Common Causes For a Nose Job

The following are the most prevalent reasons why individuals seek nose jobs:

Many people despise their noses and so choose rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons. This process can accomplish a number of things, including:

• Changes in nose size and profile to achieve a face as close as possible to the golden ratio.
• Changing the contour of the nose’s tip, bridge, and/or nostrils.
• Reasons related to health:
• Rhinoplasty is a procedure that is performed on persons who have health issues such as:
• Breathing difficulties for various reasons.
• Deviated septum.
• Blocked sinuses.

Patients in these situations choose a nose operation for medical reasons. These procedures are frequently performed in conjunction with cosmetic rhinoplasty. Reconstruction of a congenital deformity or traumatic damage, such as a broken nose, can also be accomplished during a nose contouring procedure. This can be thought of as killing two birds with one stone.

Eligibility for Rhinoplasty

As in most cosmetic surgeries, patients must be at least 18 years old, stressed/unhappy about the appearance of their nose, in good health successfully passing all necessary tests prior to the surgery, and have realistic post-procedure expectations. Surgeons are fully entitled to object if the patient’s expectations are unrealistic but if the patient would like to take the risk, then it becomes the patient’s responsibility to accept any possible negative outcome.

Rhinoplasty Procedure

Your cosmetic surgeon will make incisions to reach the bones and cartilage that support the nose during nose surgery. To make the incisions unnoticeable after the treatment, they are usually made in modest regions inside the nose. Some bone and cartilage can be removed, or tissue can be inserted, depending on the desired result and the patient’s aesthetic preferences.

After the surgeon has repositioned, altered, or shaved the bone and cartilage, the skin and tissue above the nose’s structure are red inflamed.

Outside the nose, a possible splint is put to encourage the nose’s new form while it heals. Nasal packing may be used to provide additional support within the nose.

Although rhinoplasty is commonly performed as an outpatient operation in Turkey, some individuals may require a one-night stay. Nose reshaping can be done under local or general anesthesia, depending on your specific situation and our plastic surgeon’s judgment. It is not recommended to exercise heavily for at least a couple of weeks, maybe for months as the wound will be fresh. There may be some swellings for more than a couple of months but you will be able to see the initial results from the first day. It is super exciting to look at the mirror and see your new self after a nose job!

Which countries specialize in nose surgery?

Surely, all countries have true medical professionals but Turkey, as a medical tourism hub, is famous for nose surgery and other cosmetic procedures. The majority of people seeking a more elegant facial balance choose to get their nose surgery done in Turkey. Medical certification and standardized practices are used by medical professionals all around the world. As a result, a nose job in Turkey provides the same outcomes as a costly nose surgery in Europe. In reality, because Turkey has such skilled medical personnel and modern hospitals and clinics, most therapies yield greater outcomes than in other nations. The quality of the results is fairly successful even though prices are significantly less than in European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and North American countries -Canada and the United States.

Day after day, an increasing number of overseas patients opt for rhinoplasty operations in Turkey. Turkey’s competent surgeons and low pricing are particularly appealing to individuals seeking a nose operation in Turkey. According to Quinmedical (2021), Turkey is currently in the top 3 most preferred countries in the world for rhinoplasty. Turkey has a significant pricing advantage, allowing top clinics to deliver a high-quality service at extremely convenient costs. Nearly 40,000 Rhinoplasty procedures are conducted in Turkey annually, and some patients also get Blepharoplasty surgery in Turkey at the same time as the prices are about 60 percent lower than those in Europe.
