Nose Aesthetic Surgery

What is Nose Aesthetic Surgery (Rhinoplasty)?

Rhinoplasty surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to change the size, shape and structure of your nose. With this popular aesthetic procedure, often called rhinoplasty, it is possible to reduce a noticeable bump on your nose, narrow a wide tip, correct a crooked bridge, or make your nose more proportional to the rest of your face.

Nose surgery may be preferred not only due to aesthetic concerns, but it is also performed due to problems such as difficulty breathing as a result of the wall between the nostrils leaning to one side.

How is Nose Surgery Done?

There are two types of nose surgery approaches: open and closed. In the surgery performed with the closed method, there is no cut on the skin and no visible scars are left afterwards. In the open surgery method, small incisions are made at the base of the nose, called the columella, and in the nostrils. However, with a proper wound care program, the scars will decrease so much that they are not visible over time.
