Rhinoplasty: reshaping confidence and beauty
Rhinoplasty is known as an operation that aims to correct nasal problems experienced by people who often feel dissatisfied with the shape of their nose. Rhinoplasty or nose correction surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures in the field of cosmetic surgery. This surgery aims to either reduce or enlarge the nose, change the shape of the tip or nasal arch, narrow the width of the nose, or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip. In addition, it may be performed to correct birth defects or injuries, and relieve some breathing problems.
Rhinoplasty: Building self-confidence from within
Rhinoplasty may enhance your appearance and increase your self-confidence. But you should be aware that surgery will not immediately transform you into the way you imagine it to be, especially in terms of how others treat you after surgery. Before you decide to undergo surgery, ask yourself: Why do I want this surgery? What should I expect from her? Think about it carefully and discuss it with the specialist surgeon.
It is not people who strive for perfection who are best suited for rhinoplasty, but rather those who aspire to improve their external appearance. Many surgeons prefer to postpone surgery until adolescents are fully developed, taking into account their social and psychological aspects to ensure that the decision to undergo surgery is a personal one.
Dissatisfaction with the natural shape of the nose is the main reason for resorting to rhinoplasty, as well as psychological trauma resulting from incidents of changing the shape of the nose.
Rhinoplasty in Türkiye between genetics and accidents
In some societies and families, the shape of the nose is considered hereditary and not beautiful in the general sense. Although the understanding of beauty varies from person to person, the concept of acceptable beauty in society according to age influences people’s decisions about rhinoplasty. Due to the rich history of migration, people in our country encounter different nose shapes as a result of the exchange of cultures, which makes the demand for rhinoplasty significantly high.
The most important causes of deterioration in the shape of the nose after accidents and trauma include falls and injuries in childhood, where medical intervention may not be performed in a timely manner, leading to deformities and deviations in the growth of the nose and causing breathing problems. These problems may also appear in adulthood, especially with combat sports such as boxing.
In addition to accidents, nasal deformity is the result of rare tumors, which in some cases requires plastic surgery to return the nose to its normal shape.

After rhinoplasty: a guide to the postoperative phase
After rhinoplasty surgery, the following post-operative phase follows:
- Surgical procedures:
The surgery usually takes one to two hours, during which the skin is separated from the bone and cartilage roof, the nose is reshaped, and the skin is adapted to the new surface.
- Splints and plugs:
After surgery, a splint is placed on the nose to help maintain its new shape, and cotton tampons or soft plastic devices may be placed to stabilize the barrier between the airways in the nose.
- Postoperative period:
During the first 24 hours, you may feel swelling and pain in your face and nose, and you may need pain relievers prescribed by your doctor. Discomfort is reduced by lying down with your head elevated.
- Swelling and bruising:
Swelling and bruising around the eyes will become more noticeable after two or three days and can be relieved with a cold compress.
- Healing:
Swelling and bruising will begin to subside within the first week, and some mild swelling may persist for several months. This period can be accompanied by slight leakage from the nostrils and slight blockage for several weeks.
- Medical follow-up:
You are usually asked not to blow your nose for a while after surgery, and the plugs are removed after a few days. At the end of the first week, all bandages and adhesive splints will be removed from your nose.
