Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed facial plastic surgery at our clinics. Also known as a nose job; rhinoplasty is designed to improve the appearance and proportion of the nose or to correct a breathing problem.
Nose reshaping may also be performed as a reconstructive procedure to repair a birth defect or a traumatic injury, such as a broken nose.

Rhinoplasty Procedure
During nose surgery at Adem & Havva Turkey, your plastic surgeon applies incisions to access the bones and cartilage that support the nose. The incision is typically made in subtle locations inside the nose so that they are invisible after the surgery. Depending on the desired result and appearance goals of each patient, some bone and cartilage may be removed, or tissue may be added.

After the surgeon has rearranged, reshaped, or shaved the bone and cartilage, the skin and tissue are redraped over the nose’s structure.

A possible splint is placed outside the nose to foster the new shape of the nose as it heals. Nasal packing may be used inside the nose to give additional support.
