Nose job (rhinoplasty) operations are one of the most delicate and challenging procedure in the field of plastic surgery which requires surgical mastery together with vast amount of experience. The changes in the shape and structure of the nose, which is perhaps the most important structural element in the facial expression and arguably the most important aesthetic unit of the face, leads to a dramatic change in the overall “beauty” and expression of the face. The corrections, restructuring and re-shapings that are going to be applied to the nose are decided during the interview with the patient before the surgery. The operational plan is made by evaluating the shape and size of the other facial parts and thereby the most realistic solutions are offered to meet the patient’s expectations. There are mainly two major steps of nose operations. One of them is aesthetic reforming-reshaping and the other one is functional corrections which is the correction of breathing difficulties and nasal airway obstructions.
The corrections of the functional or anatomical obstructions of the nasal airways and interventions made to relieve the nasal breathing are as important as the aesthetic procedures done during the surgery. Therefore these functional and anatomical interventions, such as removal of the deviated or malformed cartilage and bony segments that obstruct the airways, fixing the defects in the supportive framework of the nose, to reconstruct a patent airway takes a considerable part of the surgery.
The Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty method is a big revolution in the surgery world. This revolutionary surgery has many benefits. It allows a much faster healing process and reduces the risks of complication during and after the surgery. This technique allows the surgeon to reshape the noise without damaging the soft tissues, and allows the surgeon to cut the bone more precisely and gently thanks to the Piezo Technologie.
The day of your surgery, you will be doing some blood test and have a small interview with the anesthetist. Once the anesthetist has given his recommendation, you will be taken to the operating room, the surgery time varies from 2 to 4 hours depending on the patient and the complexity of the operation. Once it is finished, you will be waking up in your single hospital room, and our specialized ClinicPlast nurse staff will be watching you until you wake up. Dr Mehmet Sürmeli will visit you to make sure that everything is good. And you will spend 1 night in the hospital under the watch of our staff.
Once you are discharged some drugs will be given to you and you have to take them as instructed.You have to spend at least 8 nights in Turkey, on the 7th day post op, Dr Mehmet Sürmeli will see you, to remove silicon tampons and the cast and you will be able to finally see your new nose. You will be in contact from the very beginning with one of our representatives that will help and follow you before and after your operation. If you have any questions or doubt please contact us.
After rhinoplasty operation, our patients spend one night at the hospital. One day after the operation we discharge our patients after we check and inform them about their operation, after care and usage instructions of medicines.
In the first 4-6 weeks after your nasal surgery your bones are mouldable which means that with an outside pressure you can shape the healing of the nasal bones. In the early weeks after the surgery because of the breathing and healing dynamics, the narrowed nasal bones tend to get wider while healing. Therefore, we advise patients to massage their nose as we’ve instructed. We routinely advise to start it after we remove the external nasal splints on the 7th day and it should be continued for 2 months till the early phase of bone healing is completed.
Your first check up will be on the 7th post-operative day. We remove the external and internal splints on the 7th day. The function of the external splint over your nose is to keep the shape of the newly-shaped bones, and the function of the internal splints which we put each of your nasal airways to prevent excessive swelling inside your nose and to keep your airways open to prevent breathing problems immediately after operation. We also check the alignment of your bones and usually try to approximate them by exerting some pressure over the nasal bones. We clean the outside of your nose with special solutions, we take early post-operative photos for medical documentation and then, we put some strips over your nose to help the swelling to resolve and to make a bit of compression that will help your skin to adapt faster.
If you are working in an office setting you can start working 7 days after surgery (when the internal and external splints are removed). If you are working in a job which requires intense physical activity you should better wait for at least 3 weeks.
You can start wearing your glasses after 2 months.
You can start walking 10 days after surgery but for jogging and for fitness exercises you should wait for at least 2 months.
Most of the swelling (edema) will decrease within the first 2-3 weeks, but the tip of the nose will be the last area of the nose that the edema will resolve. It typically takes 4 months, but may even take up to 8-12 months for the tip edema to completely disappear. So, you will see the final result within 8-12 months.
