What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, often called a “nose job,” is a cosmetic surgery that reshapes the nose for improved appearance.

The term “rhinoplasty” originates from the Greek words “rhinos” (nose) and “plassein” (to shape). This procedure not only enhances the nose’s appearance but also corrects functional concerns. At Cygnus Clinic, our experienced surgeons specialize in delivering personalized rhinoplasty results that meet both aesthetic and medical needs, ensuring natural and satisfying outcomes for every patient.

What are the goals of Rhinoplasty surgery?

Enhancing Nose Aesthetics: Improve the overall shape, size, and symmetry of the nose to achieve facial harmony.

Correcting Functional Issues: Address structural problems like a deviated septum or breathing difficulties.

Refining Nasal Tip: Modify the tip of the nose, whether bulbous, droopy, or boxy, to create a more refined appearance.

Adjusting Nasal Bridge: Smooth or straighten the nasal bridge, correcting humps or bumps.

Boosting Confidence: Help patients feel more confident and satisfied with their facial profile.

Restoring Post-Trauma or Congenital Issues: Repair the nose after injury or address congenital nasal deformities.

What age can you get a Rhinoplasty surgery?

It is recommended for men and women above 18 years old for full development of anatomical, mental and psychosocial structure, with the exception of those who have congenital or injury-related nasal deformities.https://cygnusclinics.com/en/blog/what-is-the-right-age-for-rhinoplasty/

What is the difference between Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty?

• Rhinoplasty is primarily a cosmetic surgery aimed at reshaping or resizing the nose to improve its appearance. It can also have functional benefits, such as improving breathing, but its main goal is aesthetic enhancement.
• Septoplasty, on the other hand, is a medical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum, which is the cartilage and bone that divides the nasal passages. The primary focus of septoplasty is to improve breathing by straightening the septum, although it doesn’t change the overall external appearance of the nose.

What should I pay attention to before surgery?

Initially, complaints and expectations after your nose surgery are taken into account and evaluated thoroughly. Your face is photographed from different angles and the presumed image after surgery is shown to you on the computer for your opinion and further consultation.

Consequently, with the help of computer programs used, changes can be made to the shape of the nose. Also, the breathing status in the nose structure is examined in detail with the help of endoscopic devices.

In cases of breathing problems, they are immediately corrected during the operation. Once you decide to have the surgery, we arrange the day of the surgery as suitable for you.

How is Rhinoplasty | Nose Job performed?

Both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques are performed depending on the nose of the patient. The bone, soft tissue, and cartilage forming the nasal structure are reshaped (the point where art and science meet). Low nasal tip, excessive height, protruding area or missing area on nose back, nose curvature, nostrils and nose tip are corrected resulting in an aesthetic look.

During the operation, deviated septum (curvature of the middle wall of the nose) and the turbinate (nasal flesh) affecting nasal breathing are corrected. After giving the nose a new aesthetic shape, a plastic splint is placed on it for 5-7 days and special bands are applied in the external part of the nose.

After Rhinoplasty- Healing Process

Two types of swelling may occur after rhinoplasty: one appears immediately after the surgery as bruising in the cheeks, forehead and eye area, which disappears completely in about 7 days; while a second swelling appears from the change in the nose itself. During the healing process, this swelling gradually decreases resulting in constant changes in the nose. This is the reason why the nose has its final appearance within approximately 6 months to 1 year after rhinoplasty. 

It is observed that postoperative patients’ human relations and behaviour improved positively 3 weeks after the operation, as the patient becomes aware of the new shape of their nose and starts to enjoy it.

After rhinoplasty, some advice follows: the nose has to be protected from traumas, and no wearing glasses for the first 3 months. After 1 week, walks are allowed and after 1-month sports can be performed. It is important to avoid steroid sprays for the first 3 months. 1-6-12 months after surgery, monthly checks are scheduled. https://cygnusclinics.com/en/blog/6-tips-for-an-instant-recovery-after-rhinoplasty/
