What Is a Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is one of the top plastic surgeries in demand. That is no surprise because a neat and graceful nose is essential for harmony and the beauty of the face. No matter how one looks at it, appearance greatly determines self-confidence and psychological comfort.

What is a Rhinoplasty?

Nose jobs are one of the reconstructions or aesthetic plastic surgeries conducted for the change in form and size of the nose. This type of treatment is able to correct many defects that are aesthetic in nature and alter the proportions of the entire face. Such rhinoplasty performed by a skilled professional is capable of increasing self-appreciation and the quality of life.

Sometimes, patients want to know what piezo rhinoplasty is. Plastic surgery uses the inverse piezoelectric effect whereby an electric field produces a mechanical impact on the bone tissue.

This effect is used for osteotomy, meaning bone dissection followed by osteoplasty. All these instruments are mechanical and include saws, chisels, hammers, and rasps. The specialist uses all these tools, which require the surgeon’s hands to be very sensitive in order to feel the required depth of the incision and thus produce the required surgical effect.

Choosing the right specialist is what matters. The degree and depth of the understanding of facial anatomy that Dr. Kadir Kilimcioglu has is at the highest level, thus satisfying all the wishes and creating dreams for patients.

Types of Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is not a procedure itself but is specifically designed. There are several types of rhinoplasty, each performing a different purpose:

• Open rhinoplasty. With this technique, an incision across the columella characterizes it. Open rhinoplasty is often reserved for more complex cases where much reshaping is needed. It offers surgeons better vision and access to the nasal structure.
• Closed rhinoplasty. In this kind of rhinoplasty, the incisions are all made inside the nostrils. In this way, visible scars are not left outside the nose. This method is mainly used when slight changes are needed in the structure of the nose and the recovery period is expected to be less.
• Ethnic rhinoplasty. This type of nose job attempts to keep the ethnic features combining it with the necessary cosmetic alterations. It requires great knowledge about the specific anatomy of the nose common in certain ethnicities.
• Functional rhinoplasty. Sometimes, rhino plasty is just necessary to breathe. A functional nose job corrects the breathing problems brought about by a deviated septum, nasal polyps, or some abnormality that affects air passage.
• Revision rhinoplasty. This treatment is made for those people who are unsatisfied with the outcome of the nose job already performed. Revision rhinoplasty requires hiring a highly competent and experienced surgeon to correct the first operational failures and achieve the desired result.

Does It Hurt to Have Nose Surgery?

There are three types of nose jobs performed under anesthesia: aesthetic surgery, otolaryngology, and general surgery. The preferred choice depends on the volume and nature of the surgical manipulations, the person’s responsiveness to pain, and psychological characteristics. The intent of anesthesia is to prevent pain and even the most minimal sensations of discomfort; it is achieved in 100% of patients.

The surgery is carried out under general anesthesia, although in very rare, exceptional cases, local anesthesia can be used. A patient does not feel anything during such surgery. They go to sleep before the surgery and only wake up after the surgical correction has been carried out. Further, the patient is provided with all kinds of medication and painkillers that, together with professional care, allow them to undergo post-operative rehabilitation with maximum possible comfort.

How Long Does a Nose Rhinoplasty Take?

It’s somehow hard to tell the exact answer to this question. The duration of the primary rhinoplasty operation takes an average of about 3 hours on average. After the operation, a patient spends one more day in a hospital under the supervision of specialists and receives postoperative care, treatment, and procedures. On average, surgical correction of the nasal tip takes two hours. Depending on the condition, an intervention can mean that the patient will be able to go home a few hours later, after the doctor has checked on their condition, without needing to stay in the hospital for a day. Revision, reconstructive, ethnic rhinoplasty with coastal ear cartilage harvesting can last longer, about 4 hours.

Why A Good Consultation is Important?

Before one undergoes the rhinoplasty operation, he should consult with a surgeon. Only then will the aims of the patient be clearly understood by the surgeon, who will let him know what one really can expect from the results. During the consultation, he is going to inspect your face structure, skin condition, and general health. This is an opportunity where questions can be asked, before-and-after photos of some other patients looked at, and the benefits versus risks of the procedure are understood.

The full consultation also involves going through the history of the patient’s medical conditions, previous nasal surgeries, allergies, and respiratory conditions. The results can then be photographed and imaged digitally to give the patient a feel of how they will look after the surgery. The approach simultaneously makes sure the patient and surgeon are on the same platform toward better and more satisfying results.

What Does the Rhinoplasty Surgery Cost?

On average, the price of a nose job falls between €3,500 and €12,000. However, the final price depends on the technique, job volume, and surgical intervention area. In any case, Dr. Kadir Kilimcioglu uses all his expertise and skills to satisfy every patient.
