Cosmetic Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty) ~ Plastic Surgeon Dr.Emre Gönen,MD

Cosmetic Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty) or Nose Reshaping Surgery is the most frequently implemented aesthetic surgery. Rhinoplasty makes your nose smaller or bigger, changes the shape of the nose tip or the nose bridge, narrows the width of the nostrils or changes the angle between your nose and upper lip. Rhinoplasty also corrects issues such as congenital deformity or deformity caused by an injury and it can also be performed to correct structural abnormalities in the nose that impair breathing function.

Most Suitable Candidates for Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic nose surgery could improve your looks and self- confidence but a surgical procedure will not restore broken relationships and will not solve other emotionally related problems. Before deciding on surgery, it's worth thinking about why you want to have a surgery, what you expect from surgery, etc.. You easily can share your thoughts and discuss anything with Dr. Emre Gönen. The best plastic surgery candidates are those who have realistic expectations. Patients who are pleased with themselves but dislike a specific physical characteristic that is amenable to surgical correction tend to be suitable candidates. Other good candidates are those with a physical defect or cosmetic flaw that has affected their confidence over time.

Preparation for Surgery
The structure of your nasal bones and cartilage, the shape of your face, your skin thickness, age and your expectations are the main issues that'll be discussed and by examining the structure of your nose and your face, we'll discuss the possibilities available for you. 
If you're asked to fast before the operation, it's really important that you don't eat or drink anything – this includes snacks, sweets and water. You need an empty stomach during surgery so you don’t vomit while you are under anaesthetic.
If you take insulin because of diabetes you will still need to avoid eating and drinking before surgery, but make sure your medical team is aware of your condition so appropriate precautions can be taken.

Surgery
Cosmetic nose surgery usually takes an hour or two. It's performed under general anesthesia. In most cases involving a reduction in shape or size of the nose, angle or removal of a hump, the skin of the nose is separated from the underlying skeleton of bone and cartilage. The bone and cartilage are then reshaped and the skin re-draped over the surface. Following surgery, a plaster splint is applied to maintain the new shape of the nose. Nasal splints may be inserted at the time of surgery to protect the septum.

After Surgery
During the first 24 hours after your surgery your face will feel swollen, your nose may ache and you may have a headache. You can control pain with prescribed  medications. In the first day, except for going to the bathroom, plan to lay in bed keeping your head high. More detailed information on returning to normal life will be given by Dr. Emre Gönen. Usually patients are asked to avoid the higher effort of movement (running, swimming, gymnastics, any movement that would raise their blood pressure) for 2 to 3 weeks, to protect their nose from impact or blow for 8 weeks, to refrain from rubbing and to avoid the sun. You will need to be kind and cautious washing your face and hair or applying makeup.
