Primary Rhinoplasty Antalya

PRIMARY RHINOPLASTY (NOSE AESTHETICS)

Rhinoplasty comes from Greek and means "to shape the nose." Today, it is used to describe aesthetic surgeries performed on the nose. The main purpose of these surgeries is to obtain a nose that is proportional to the face, natural and aesthetic.

Primary rhinoplasty is the first nose aesthetic procedure performed on patients who have not had any previous surgical intervention on the nose.

WHAT IS A BEAUTIFUL NOSE?

A beautiful nose is one that is compatible with the general structure of the face, balanced, and provides aesthetic integrity without drawing attention.

The main elements that make a nose look beautiful are:

Symmetry: It is the basic indicator of a healthy and balanced appearance.
Balance and Proportion: The nose should be compatible with other areas of the face (a small nose for a small face, a more proportional nose for a wider face).
Naturalness: It should give a young, elegant and lively expression without distorting the character of the face.
Aesthetic Compatibility: It should integrate with the person's facial features and emphasize beauty without drawing attention.
Cultural Harmony: Natural harmony should be achieved by considering each individual's genetic and cultural characteristics.

The concept of beauty varies from person to person, from culture to culture. Therefore, a successful rhinoplasty should be planned not only according to certain ratios, but also according to the person's facial anatomy, skin structure and expectations.

AESTHETIC UNDERSTANDING AND SCIENTIFIC BALANCE

Many ratios and angles for the "ideal nose" have been defined in the plastic surgery literature. However, for an experienced surgeon, these ratios are only a guide.

During surgery, each patient's facial structure, bone and cartilage characteristics, skin thickness and ethnic structure are evaluated and a unique planning is made.

A successful nose aesthetic is the combination of scientific knowledge and artistic perspective.

Op. Dr. Mahmut Ulvi Kayalı aims to achieve natural, functional and aesthetic results by analyzing each patient's facial ratios in detail in his clinic in Antalya.

PATIENT EXPECTATIONS AND PLANNING

Almost all people who want to have nose aesthetics are dissatisfied with a specific feature of their nose. This could be:

Nasal hump,
Size of the nose,
Drooping nasal tip,
Base width or asymmetry.

The most important stage in primary rhinoplasty planning is to understand the patient's complaints and combine them with the surgeon's aesthetic perspective.

Op. Dr. Mahmut Ulvi Kayalı analyzes the patient's face and nose in digital environment during examination and shows the patient the possible post-operative appearance with simulation method.

This process ensures strong communication between the patient and the surgeon. Planning is the determining factor in the success of rhinoplasty surgery.

OPERATION (OPEN AND CLOSED TECHNIQUES)

Nose aesthetic surgeries can be applied with closed or open technique. Both methods have advantages and reasons for preference.

Open Rhinoplasty

A small incision is made at the bottom of the nose and the nasal skin is lifted. This allows the surgeon to see the nasal structures directly and intervene in a more controlled manner.

This method is especially preferred in patients with serious structural curvatures, secondary or tertiary surgeries.

The location of the incision usually becomes completely faint within a year.

Closed Rhinoplasty

The incision is made inside the nose, leaving no external scar.

All interventions that can be done with open technique can also be applied with closed technique.

Surgery time may be slightly longer in patients with serious structural problems.

Which surgery technique will be chosen is determined together with the patient during the preliminary interview at the office of Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Mahmut Ulvi Kayalı in Antalya.

Op. Dr. Mahmut Ulvi Kayalı frequently uses both surgery techniques.

COMBINING INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL NASAL PROCEDURES

The inside and outside of the nose are a whole. Curvatures inside the nose (septum deviation) usually occur together with external asymmetry.

Therefore, the most correct approach is to perform aesthetic (rhinoplasty) and functional (septoplasty) procedures in the same session.

Cartilage tissues inside the nose are used to support the nasal tip or strengthen the nasal roof when necessary.

If there is not enough cartilage in patients who have had previous nasal surgery, ear or rib cartilage can be used as a second source.

This method improves both breathing function and aesthetic result at the same time.

POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD

Mild nausea or chills may occur within the first few hours after surgery.
Op. Dr. Mahmut Ulvi Kayalı usually prefers not to place tampons inside the nose.
If internal curvature has been corrected, special silicone tampons that can stay for 1 day and do not stick to the nose can be used.
There are plastic cast and tapes on the nose after surgery. Cold application is done in the first 24 hours.
Pain is mild on the first evening and can be controlled with painkillers.
Pain is minimal from the 2nd day onwards.
Bruising and edema usually decrease within 1 week.
Dressings and stitches are removed in the 1st week, the patient can return to social life in the 2nd week.
70% of swelling decreases in the 2nd month, the final nose form settles within 1 year.

CONCLUSION

Primary rhinoplasty (nose aesthetic) not only improves appearance but also provides functionally more comfortable breathing.

The goal of the surgery is to create a nose that is compatible with the person's facial features, natural, elegant and balanced.
