The nose takes an S shape

An S-shaped nose is when the nose resembles the letter S when viewed from the outside. This is a significant surgery that requires both aesthetic and functional correction. I'll be sharing some information about rhinoplasty surgery with you... Enjoy reading.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as septorhinoplasty, involves correcting both the outer and inner parts of the nose. Septo corrects the inner part of the nose, while rhino corrects the outer part. As the name suggests, septorhinoplasty corrects both breathing and aesthetic problems.

Nose Deformations

The most common deformities in rhinoplasty surgery—nasal hump, drooping nasal tip, crooked nose, wide nose, and S-shaped noses—negatively impact our lives and lifestyles. While these deformities are individual, they can all be corrected in the same surgery. An S-shaped nose is one of the most challenging of these surgical procedures, and the need to correct the nose and minimize any damage to it is crucial.

Rhinoplasty Recovery Process

The recovery process varies depending on many factors. Every detail, from the deformity of the nose to the technique used, is crucial. Two different techniques are used in rhinoplasty surgery: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. The others are not techniques but methods. The closed rhinoplasty procedure has a shorter recovery time compared to the open rhinoplasty procedure, and postoperative swelling and bruising are less. The closed and atraumatic technique, performed and used by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Süleyman Taş , generally eliminates bruising in rhinoplasty surgery. Because the body's healing mechanism is based on swelling, some swelling is possible.

How Many Hours Does Rhinoplasty Take?

Rhinoplasty surgery takes an average of 2 to 2.5 hours, but this can take 3 to 4 hours, including the time it takes to administer anesthesia and wake the patient up, once they've fully recovered, and then to be taken to the room. This can vary depending on the extent of nasal deformity. Because revision surgeries are more challenging, the surgical process can be longer.

Choosing a Rhinoplasty Doctor

Rhinoplasty is a significant procedure that must be performed meticulously and carefully. Choosing a competent and experienced surgeon is crucial. Revision surgeries can be quite challenging. While multiple rhinoplasty procedures are necessary, the success rate decreases with each surgery, so it's crucial that the initial procedure be performed with the necessary care and attention. It's crucial to be examined by at least three or four surgeons before undergoing rhinoplasty. It's crucial to obtain diverse opinions on what you need to know about rhinoplasty.

In Which Months Should Rhinoplasty Surgery Be Preferred?

Information such as "rhinoplasty is not recommended during the summer months" is completely false. It's arguably one of the biggest misconceptions. Thanks to the Closed and Atraumatic Technique, you can have the surgery all year round. Generally, Open Technique surgeries involve cutting the tip of the nose and causing scarring from sun exposure, so surgery is recommended during the summer months. However, Closed Technique rhinoplasty doesn't require cutting the tip of the nose, and the entire procedure is performed through the nostrils, eliminating scarring and allowing for surgery all year round.
