Introduction
Rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job,” is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world. While it is often associated with improving facial harmony and enhancing beauty, rhinoplasty is much more than just an aesthetic procedure. For many patients, it also restores nasal function, improves breathing, and addresses medical concerns such as deviated septum or chronic sinus problems. Today, Turkey stands out as a leading destination for rhinoplasty, combining skilled surgeons, affordable prices, and outstanding results.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, functional reasons, or both. Depending on the patient’s needs, rhinoplasty may involve:
- Reducing or increasing the size of the nose
- Reshaping the tip or bridge
- Narrowing the nostrils
- Correcting structural issues that impair breathing
This dual focus on aesthetics and function makes rhinoplasty a life-changing operation for many patients.
Functional vs. Aesthetic Rhinoplasty
- Aesthetic Rhinoplasty
Designed to improve the appearance of the nose, enhancing facial harmony and balance. Patients often seek:- A straighter bridge
- A smaller or more defined tip
- Narrower nostrils
- Better overall proportion with other facial features
- Functional Rhinoplasty
Focuses on correcting breathing issues caused by structural problems, such as:- Deviated septum
- Nasal valve collapse
- Enlarged turbinates
Patients often notice improved airflow and reduced snoring after surgery.
Types of Rhinoplasty
- Open Rhinoplasty: An incision is made at the base of the nose, giving surgeons more visibility and control.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: All incisions are hidden inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars and ensuring quicker recovery.
- Revision Rhinoplasty: Corrects or improves results from a previous nose surgery.
- Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Uses dermal fillers to temporarily reshape the nose without surgery.
