The nose has become the center of attention and has a great effect on face beauty. Those who are dissatisfied with their nose suffer from a lot of stress. A crooked nose, septal deviation, bumpy nose, or very large nostrils can cause low self-esteem. Defects in the external form of the nose can even be associated with respiratory problems. Therefore, before correcting the external form of the nose, the need to correct the internal parts of the nose should also be considered.
Rhinoplasty can correct a crooked, small, large nose, or nostrils. Rhinoplasty methods have progressed significantly in recent years. Nowadays, with the open surgery method that is performed by an inconspicuous incision on the wall between the nostrils and pushing back the soft tissue of the nose from the nasal skeleton, surgery is done with much higher vision and accuracy than in the past, and much better results can be expected.
Young people who request rhinoplasty should be fully informed about the risks involved in this surgery for this age group. In general, it is recommended to postpone rhinoplasty after puberty so that nasal growth is not impaired by surgery without medical necessity.
What does rhinoplasty bring?
One of the important factors in rhinoplasty is nose skin. In most cases, patients want to shrink their noses. After shrinking the nasal skeleton, the skin should be adjusted to the new skeleton size. This coordination is possible limitedly when the nose skin is thick and has large skin pores, but thin skin does not have this problem.
However, thin skin is not able to cover possible skeletal roughness, and not only this roughness is tangible, but in some cases even visible.
The possibility for a second surgery or repair in rhinoplasty is relatively high, which is not necessarily due to the surgeon’s disability, but the nose anatomy also plays a major role.
The art of rhinoplasty is to achieve a result that is in harmony with the person’s face and natural appearance, not causing breathing problems.
