Therefore, it is recommended to be done from adolescence, that is, from 15 to 16 years of age or after the nasal bones and cartilages are fully developed.
However, in some cases, if there is a significant problem with the shape or function of the nose, surgery may need to be performed at an earlier age.
Therefore, the optimal age for rhinoplasty may vary depending on the individual situation and need.

How is rhinoplasty performed?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that usually involves the following steps:
- Anaesthesia: The operation is usually performed under general anaesthesia, which allows the patient to sleep and feel no pain during the operation.
In some cases, local anesthesia may also be used.
2.Incisions: the surgeon plans the incisions to be made inside or outside the nose.
These incisions provide access to the cartilage and bone needed to change the shape and size of the nose.
3.Cartilage and bone reshaping: the surgeon reshapes or removes cartilage and bone to achieve the desired shape of the nose.
This may include various procedures such as correcting the hump of the nose, reshaping the tip or wings of the nose.
- Placement of internal supports: in some cases, sutures, implants or
grafts to maintain the new shape of the nose.
- Closing the incisions: the incisions are closed and sutures are applied to the skin and outside the nose.
- Completion of surgery: the surgeon checks the new shape of the nose, any bleeding is controlled and the surgery is complete.
The length and complexity of the surgery can vary depending on the structure of the nose and the patient’s wishes.
The recovery process after surgery varies depending on several factors, including the general health of the person, the complexity of the surgery, and the surgical techniques.
After surgery, it is important to follow the surgeon’s recommendations and take the necessary time for a full recovery.

What preparation is done before rhinoplasty?
- Interview with the doctor: a comprehensive interview with the doctor should be conducted prior to surgery.
During this interview, information should be obtained about the details of the surgery, expectations, risks, and the recovery process. - Health assessment: your doctor will assess your health history and current health to determine if you are suitable for surgery.
Necessary tests may be done. - Smoking and drinking alcohol: Smoking and drinking alcohol before and after surgery can negatively affect the healing process.
Therefore, it is important to stop smoking and drinking alcohol before surgery. - Medication Use: As recommended by your doctor, you may need to discontinue certain medications prior to surgery.
Some medications, especially such as blood thinners, may need to be stopped before surgery. - Nutrition: a healthy diet and adequate intake of nutrients into the body can aid the healing process before and after surgery.
During the preoperative period, it is important to follow a diet that is especially rich in vitamins and minerals. - Working and social conditions: it is important to provide adequate time for the post-operative recovery period.
Some negotiation in work and social activities can be made and help can be obtained when needed.
What are the types of rhinoplasty we know?
The types of rhinoplasty surgeries can vary depending on the person’s needs and desires.
Here are some more common types :
Open rhinoplasty: In this method, incisions are made on the inside and outside of the nose, allowing easier access to the nasal bones and cartilage.
This method is usually preferred for more extensive or complex nasal adjustments.
Closed rhinoplasty: In this method, incisions are made inside the nose and are not visible from the outside. This method is generally less invasive and is associated with a less healing process.
Piezo method (ultrasonic rhinoplasty): used In the piezo method, ultrasound waves are used instead of crushing and cutting instruments, which only shape the bone without damaging other tissues.
This minimizes postoperative pain and complaints of swelling and makes the postoperative period more comfortable.
Functional rhinoplasty: This type of rhinoplasty is performed to improve the function of the nose.
Surgical interventions are performed to correct a stuffy nose, difficulty breathing, or other nasal function problems.
Revision rhinoplasty: This is a type of surgery performed for people who are not satisfied with the results of a previous rhinoplasty or who have had complications.
This surgery is performed to correct or improve previous rhinoplasty results.
Nasal tip aesthetics: this surgery is performed to change the shape and size of the cartilage or skin on the tip of the nose.
It can be performed for purposes such as lifting, reducing, or reshaping the tip of the nose.
What does non-surgical rhinoplasty (Liquid rhinoplasty) mean?
The term “Liquid rhinoplasty” refers to a non-surgical aesthetic nose procedure.
This procedure usually involves the use of fillers to temporarily alter or correct the shape of the nose.
Because Liquid rhinoplasty is not a surgical procedure, it does not require lying on the operating table or complete anesthesia.
Instead, a filter (usually hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite) is injected into the nasal area with a local anesthetic, even without anesthesia.
This procedure can be used to correct small bumps or asymmetry in certain areas of the nose, lifting, improving the tip of the nose.
Liquid rhinoplasty, however, is not a permanent solution and its effect is usually temporary.
Fillers are absorbed and broken down by the body over time, so the results may be temporary.
Since Liquid rhinoplasty is not a surgical procedure, it is less invasive and requires less recovery time.
However, as with any medical procedure, this procedure can have certain risks and side effects.
It should be noted that fillers can cause infection, allergic reactions, or other complications.
Therefore, before Liquid rhinoplasty or any other aesthetic procedure, it is important to consult a specialist.
Who is not suitable for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty may not be appropriate for some situations and is usually not performed in the following cases:
Health problems: some health problems can make rhinoplasty risky.
For example, rhinoplasty should not be done in people with serious health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Bleeding disorders: Rhinoplasty can be risky for people with bleeding problems or bleeding disorders, as such conditions can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.
Acute infections: in the case of an acute infection, surgery can become risky as the body’s immune system is weakened.
Therefore, infections must be cured before surgery.
Psychological problems: some people may experience extreme anxiety or frustration with their bodies.
However, rhinoplasty is not recommended for these people.
Because psychological problems can increase the risk of frustration after surgery.
Unrealistic expectations: some people think they will get a perfect nose with rhinoplasty.
But rhinoplasty may not be suitable for people with unrealistic expectations.
Before surgery, it is important to establish clear communication about a person’s expectations and goals.

Exposure to sunlight can interfere with the healing process and cause negative effects on the skin.
Therefore, it is important to take precautions against the sun postoperative period.
How many days are needed for the restoration process after rhinoplasty?
The time for full recovery after nose surgery can vary from person to person and depends on many factors, but typically full recovery can take several weeks to several months.
Some factors that can affect the healing process include:
- The complexity and extent of the surgery, such as open rhinoplasty or closed rhinoplasty, can affect the healing process.
More extensive surgeries often require a longer recovery time. - Everyone’s body heals differently.
Some people recover quickly, while others may need a longer recovery period. - A person’s general health can affect the healing process.
People with healthy lifestyles usually recover faster, while those with chronic illnesses or smokers may have a longer recovery period. - The type and extent of surgical interventions required can also affect the healing process.
For example, if the nasal bone needs to be broken or significant changes need to be made to the tip of the nose, the healing process may be longer.
Swelling, bruising and discomfort are often seen in the first few days after surgery.
These symptoms diminish with time and improvement continues significantly within a few weeks.
However, it may take several months to fully recover and for results to appear.
Careful adherence to your doctor’s recommendations and regular check-ups will aid the healing process.
