Rhinoplasty Surgeries in Turkey
The nose is considered to be the most important beauty factor for a beautiful face, as a beautiful nose gives the person a sense of confidence and attractiveness, and highlights the features of femininity in women and masculinity in men. Cosmetically speaking; the size, shape and consistency of the nose have an important role in evaluating person’s beauty and attractiveness, and so we have seen the great demand from all generations towards rhinoplasty surgery, whether if the purpose is medically or cosmetically.
Although many young people -teenagers and adults- are undergoing this operation more and more every day, doctors insist that the appropriate age to undergo such an operation varies according to its purpose. If the purpose of the operation is purely cosmetic, you must wait until the nasal bone growth is fully completed, that is, after being 18 years old. But if the purpose of the operation is medical or to treat an emergency problem, it can be done at any time, even at a young age.

Rhinoplasty and The Used Techniques
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) is a simple surgical cosmetic procedure that mainly aims to reduce the size of the nose and fix the shape of it, in addition to treating any medical nose problems such as breathing problems and sinus problems.
Rhinoplasty treats all the medical nose problems a person may suffer from and boosts the beauty of the nose and face at the same time. Rhinoplasty operations vary according to the used technique, and the person who undergoes rhinoplasty must be at least 18 years old and the facial bones around the nose must be fully developed.
Rhinoplasty is performed using one of two techniques, Open Rhinoplasty or Closed Rhinoplasty. The patient is subjected to general anesthesia whether a closed rhinoplasty or an open rhinoplasty is used.
Rhinoplasty techniques
Open Rhinoplasty
Closed Rhinoplasty
Open Rhinoplasty
In this technique, the doctor makes an external incision through the Columella, which is the narrow strip of tissues that separate the two nostrils. This technique is used in cases of obvious deviations and distortions.
Closed Rhinoplasty
In this technique, the doctor hides the incisions inside the nose, He makes an internal incision between the upper and lower cartilages. This technique takes less time and a faster recovery period.
The incisions, both internal and external, enable the doctor to gently lift the skin covering the bones and cartilages, and reshaping the nose.

What you should know before undergoing Rhinoplasty
You have to take into account that the recovery period after nose surgery is an important period and it must be dealt with carefully while complying fully to doctor’s instructions to ensure that you recover fastly and reach the shape of the nose you hope for; as any imbalance in the healing process of the skin or the parts underneath it may later leads to an imbalance in the shape of the nose itself, and some problems may appear as a result of not strictly following the medical instructions in the postoperative period.
The results are evaluated within a year of the surgery, so the patient must have a realistic view, and understand the expected duration of the recovery period and not to wait for immediate results at the end of the surgery. He/she must also be ready to accept this significant change in the shape of the face, which will result from the change in the shape of the nose.
