Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct the shape, size, or proportions of the nose. It is applied not only for aesthetic concerns but also to solve functional issues such as difficulty breathing.
Who can undergo rhinoplasty?
Anyone who has completed bone development, is in a suitable general health condition for surgery, and has realistic expectations can be a candidate for rhinoplasty. It is generally suitable for patients aged 18 and above.
How long does the surgery take?
Rhinoplasty surgery typically takes 1-3 hours. It can be performed using open or closed techniques. Op.Dr. Zeynep Erol determines the technique most suitable for the patient's nasal structure.
What are the risks?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks of infection, bleeding, and anesthesia in rhinoplasty. However, with an experienced surgeon, these risks are minimized.
