Rhinoplasty: What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide. It is performed to reshape or refine the nose for aesthetic reasons, functional improvement, or both. Whether the concern is a dorsal hump, wide nostrils, asymmetry, or breathing difficulties, rhinoplasty can provide both cosmetic harmony and improved nasal function.
This procedure is highly individualized. Dr. Ahmet Caymaz carefully evaluates each patient’s facial structure, skin type, and expectations before designing a surgical plan. The goal is not only to create a natural and balanced nose that complements the face but also to maintain or improve breathing.
Depending on the needs, rhinoplasty can be performed using open or closed techniques. Both approaches are safe and effective, with subtle differences in incision placement and recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Rhinoplasty
Who is an ideal candidate for rhinoplasty?
Anyone who is dissatisfied with the shape or function of their nose, is in good health, and has realistic expectations can be a candidate. Patients should ideally be over 18, when nasal growth is complete.
How long does recovery take?
Initial recovery usually takes 1–2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising gradually improve. Final results become more visible after 6–12 months as subtle swelling subsides.
Is rhinoplasty painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, often described as pressure rather than pain. Modern techniques and post-operative care make recovery quite manageable.
Will there be visible scars?
In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are hidden inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made at the columella, which typically heals very well and becomes barely noticeable over time.
