Rhinoplasty
One of our country’s most popular aesthetic procedures is rhinoplasty, performed for both cosmetic and practical reasons. Surgery can be performed for various reasons, such as correcting breathing problems, giving the nose a more natural aesthetic appearance, and correcting deformities in the nose. Functional Rhinoplasty refers to procedures designed to solve respiratory problems during cosmetic surgery. Rhinoplasty procedures can also be performed to correct nasal curvatures, fractures, cracks, and deformities caused by accidents, blows, and traumas.
To Decide on a Rhinoplasty
People who are unsatisfied with the appearance of their noses or who need to fix damage caused by accidents or serious illnesses can have a rhinoplasty. As a result, the first step in aesthetic nose surgery is the doctor’s evaluation of the patient, listening to the patient’s complaints and wishes, and then diagnosing the problems related to the nose, if any. Only after the evaluation will it be possible to determine what aesthetic improvements can be made to the nose. The patient’s face type, facial features, eye, chin distance, and weight play a role in determining the best nose structure. After the computer shows the nose type suitable for the person’s face type, the final selection is made with the help of a special software.
