In spite of the simplicity of the anatomy of the nose consisting of cartilage and bone, it requires quite profession which requires sensitivity and insight to form. Nose is an organ which undertake the central
attraction with lips on the face. The basic approach of Rhinoplasty is to obtain an aesthetical and functional nose by removal of the excessive bone and the cartilage structure and replacement of the missing structures.

The patients are curious about the questions below:

1- Will I be recognized to have had the aesthetical operation in postoperative period and will I have a small upturned nose?
Believe me, it is rather simple for a plastic surgeon to make small , upturned noses , but the point is to achieve the nose in accordance with ideally aesthetical proportion of face which is acceptable nowadays. We
perform the operation without removing unnecessary tissue much but rather by supporting with missing nose cartilage zones (graft).

2 – Is it also possible to solve breathing problems during Rhinoplasty surgery ?
It is possible to solve the aesthetical defects in other facial areas too by taking photos before Rhinoplasty
surgery and by planning and measuring processes in the same session (often the skeletal problems belonging to
jaw region). If the patient has complaints about breathing nose inside pathology can be detected by screening
methods that to be done in preoperative period and the surgery should be performed to solve functional
problems too.

3 - What are the operational technics?
I perform the Rhinoplasty surgery under general anesthesia limited to the except the little nose tip
interferences that I perform under limited anesthesia . The open technique rhinoplasty which is one of two
existing techniques is indispensable for me. Because I do not consider the Rhinoplasty just to remove cartilage
and bones, If we take the great effect of adding a small piece of cartilage or a small seam of cartilage in the
nose to the appearance into consideration we will understand the advantages of the open technique.

4 – Will the postoperative buffers prevent my breathing?
I emplace special silicone buffers that ensure breathing which the patient feel comfortable with instead of the
long disturbing ones used in the past. In order to protect the external roof of the nose, I apply plasters or splints
with the material giving elastical shape. I remove the buffer after 48 hours and the splint at the end of first
week. I allow the heavy sporting activities only after a month. The nasal edema is reduced by the second week
and the real nose shape is gained within 6 months to 1 year.
