Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed facial plastic surgery at our
clinics. Also known as a nose job; rhinoplasty is designed to improve the
appearance and proportion of the nose or to correct a breathing problem.
Nose reshaping may also be performed as a reconstructive procedure to repair a

Rhinoplasty Procedure
During nose surgery at Adem & Havva Turkey, your plastic surgeon applies
incisions to access the bones and cartilage that support the nose. The incision
is typically made in subtle locations inside the nose so that they are
invisible after the surgery. Depending on the desired result and appearance
goals of each patient, some bone and cartilage may be removed, or tissue may be
added.

After the surgeon has rearranged, reshaped, or shaved
the bone and cartilage, the skin and tissue are redraped over the nose’s
structure.

A possible splint is placed outside the nose to foster
the new shape of the nose as it heals. Nasal packing may be used inside the
nose to give additional support.

While Rhinoplasty in Turkey’s Adem & Havva clinic
is frequently performed as an outpatient procedure, sometimes patients may
require a 1-night stay.
