Quote of Dr. Engin Ekral
Rhinoplasty is a type of surgery that reshapes the nose. It's often performed for both cosmetic reasons and functional purposes. Here are the main aspects of rhinoplasty:
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty: This is aimed at improving the appearance of the nose. It might involve altering the size, shape, or proportion of the nose to achieve a desired aesthetic outcome. Common changes include refining the tip, narrowing the nostrils, or adjusting the bridge of the nose.
Functional Rhinoplasty: This focuses on improving nasal function. It addresses issues such as nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties, often caused by structural problems like a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates.
Reconstructive Rhinoplasty: This type of surgery is performed to repair or reconstruct the nose after trauma, injury, or surgery for conditions such as skin cancer.
Procedure: The surgery is usually performed under general or local anesthesia. The surgeon reshapes the bone and cartilage, and the skin is then repositioned over the new structure. The duration of the procedure can vary depending on the complexity.
Recovery: After surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. The recovery period can take several weeks, with the final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides over time.
Risks and Considerations: As with any surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks such as infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. There can also be dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, requiring revision surgery in some cases.
Overall, rhinoplasty is a highly personalized procedure, and it’s important for patients to discuss their goals and concerns with a qualified plastic surgeon to achieve the best possible results.

Plastic surgeries for nose are applied to everyone if they don’t have different health condition that hinder the surgery. For example, If you have a bleeding disorder, such as hemophilia, you may not be a candidate for rhinoplasty. The recommended minimum age for the procedure is typically 18 years old. This age is advised because, by 18, the nasal bone has usually fully grown, providing a more stable foundation for the surgery. However, in exceptional cases where there is a breathing impairment or other significant issues, the surgery may be considered at a younger age. The decision in such cases is typically based on the individual's specific medical needs and circumstances.
After undergoing rhinoplasty surgery, especially in the first 24 hours, you might experience some puffiness in your face, nose discomfort, and a mild headache. These are normal side effects and can be managed with pain medication. Both internal and external dressings are removed within 5-7 days. Avoid using eyeglasses or sunglasses on your nose for at least four weeks to prevent pressure. Most individuals can return to work within a week to ten days. Steer clear of strenuous exercise and contact sports for six weeks to safeguard your nose from potential injury. The new shape of your nose becomes more evident in the second week as the swelling, edema, and dark circles begin to diminish. The true transformation becomes apparent around the third month.
Rhinoplasty is generally not a painful surgery. Most people can resume their normal activities a week after the procedure. After the rhinoplasty you may experience mild pain which can be managed with painkillers.
The use of tampons in nasal surgeries is a common concern for many people. Nowadays, classic tampons are rarely used in plastic surgeries. Instead, silicon tampons are typically employed. Silicon tampons serve as a barrier between the inner and outer walls of the nose, preventing the formation of adhesions. Unlike traditional tampons, silicon tampons are soft and flexible, making their removal from the nose easy and painless.
Nose job is a surgical operation and the results are permanent.
One such option is a temporary nonsurgical nose job, often referred to as liquid rhinoplasty. Liquid rhinoplasty is a temporary solution addressing concerns like a dorsal hump, a drooping nasal tip, or asymmetry. This procedure should be performed by a skilled plastic or facial plastic surgeon. Typically, liquid rhinoplasty utilizes hyaluronic acid-based injectable fillers, the same type commonly used for cheek and lip enhancements. The procedure is quick, taking approximately 20 minutes, and the effects last between 6 to 18 months.
Although you will experience a loss of smell right after your rhinoplasty, it is important to remember that this loss is only temporary. Any smell loss is usually temporary and resolves within a few weeks.
Yes, rhinoplasty can address functional issues in addition to cosmetic concerns. Procedures such as septoplasty or turbinate reduction can be incorporated to improve nasal airflow and alleviate breathing difficulties.
In most cases, rhinoplasty is performed using incisions inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or with a small external incision on the columella (open rhinoplasty). Scarring is minimal and often not visible, especially with closed rhinoplasty.
