Rhinoplasty - Medıcal servıces - Maxımed turkey

Rhinoplasty is a surgery that is made to reshape the nose. By rhinoplasty a surgeon can make apatient’s nose larger or smaller, change the edgeof the nose, change the tip, correct bumps, indentations or other defects in the nose.

During operation, a surgeon makes small incisions (cuts) to access the nose bones and cartilage that support the nose.To avoid scars after the surgery, the incisions are usually made inside the nose so that they are invisible after. 

A patient should discuss thoroughly with a doctor about his/her expectations about shape and appearance of nose. Depending on patient’s wish, some bone and cartilage can be removed, tissue can be added. A patient is welcome to see the previous rhinoplasty works of the doctor.

After reshaping nose’s structure, skin and tissue is re-draped over the nose. A splint is placed outside the nose to support the new shape of the nose while it heals.

Usually rhinoplasty is done with general or local anesthesia depending on work that must be done. Rhinoplasty is commonly an outpatient surgery, but sometimes it is required to stay overnight in a hospital.

How Well It Works

Up to patient’s wish the results of rhinoplasty can be significant or minor. A patient can decide to completely change the shape and size of the nose or make correct minor imperfections.
