Rhinoplasty is an operation performed to reshape the nose aesthetically. In this surgery, while the nose is shaped aesthetically, the patient’s breathing problems, if any, are also eliminated. From the point of rhinoplasty, an ideal nose is the one that is in harmony with the person’s facial structure, looks natural and does not cause any respiratory problems, without any sign of a plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty can be performed in two methods as the closed and open techniques.

Rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The duration of the operation varies between 1 and 3 hours, while this period may be longer in revision surgeries. At the end of the surgery, a silicone pad is placed inside the patient’s nose and a plastic plaster is placed on the nasal dorsum. Depending on the circumstances, the patient can be discharged on the same day, or the next day if desired.
