What are the Types of Rhinoplasty?

What are the Types of Rhinoplasty? – Rhinoplasty is applied to solve various aesthetic and functional problems such as drooping nose, hump appearance, correction of angles between nose-forehead and nose-lip, nose width or deformations. Rhinoplasty is applied not only for aesthetic appearance but also for problems such as nasal concha, sinusitis or deviation in the respiratory tract. Dr. Ümit Hardal successfully applies various rhinoplasty techniques according to the needs of his patients. Here is what you need to know about rhinoplasty types:

Open Surgery Technique (Open Rhinoplasty)

Open rhinoplasty is an aesthetic operation performed by making an incision on the outer part of the partition between the nostrils. This incision is applied in a V-shaped manner to the area called the collumella, and the skin and the tissues underneath are lifted, allowing for easy intervention on the nasal bone and cartilage tissues. Although open rhinoplasty has a longer recovery period, it is preferred in revision rhinoplasty surgeries or in cases requiring intervention on the tip of the nose due to the greater visibility of the intranasal structures, bone and cartilage tissues.

Closed Surgery Technique (Closed Rhinoplasty)

Closed rhinoplasty is a technique where special tools are used instead of any chisels or surgical hammers for the bumps on the nose. In this technique, incisions are made on the inside of the nostrils and the nasal structure is shaped. Closed rhinoplasty is an ideal option for patients who want to eliminate aesthetic concerns with the advantages of a shorter recovery time and no visible scars.

Functional Rhinoplasty Procedures

Functional rhinoplasty is an operation performed to correct situations where the nose cannot perform its functional duties, such as breathing. This technique is applied especially to people who have serious breathing problems and corrects cartilage or bone curvatures. The aim is not aesthetics, but to enable patients to breathe more healthily. Dr. Ümit Hardal aims to increase the quality of life of his patients with functional rhinoplasty.

Septum Deviation Aesthetics

Septum deviation is a surgical procedure performed to correct the deviations in the midline of the nose. These deviations, which can occur due to genetics or trauma, can cause breathing problems. This surgery, called septoplasty, is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 45 minutes. Dr. Ümit Hardal provides his patients with the opportunity to breathe more easily by correcting the deviated septum.

Crooked Nose Correction

A crooked nose is a problem that can be corrected with surgical methods. Correcting a crooked nose requires precise calculations to shape the nose at a correct angle and to be suitable for facial physiology. Dr. Ümit Hardal achieves successful results in crooked nose correction surgeries with his expertise and experience.

Nasolabial Angle Adjustment

The nasolabial angle is defined as the angle between the line from the tip of the nose to the upper part of the upper lip and the line from the upper lip, where the nostrils separate, to the bottom of the nose. This angle, which is usually set at 90-95 degrees in men and 100-105 degrees in women, is an important part of rhinoplasty. Dr. Ümit Hardal carefully adjusts this angle to achieve aesthetic and natural results.

Width Reduction

The surgical piriform aperture is adjusted to reduce the width between the nostrils under the nose and the tip of the nose. The angles of the triangle at the point where the nostrils meet the face can be made more upright to reduce the width of the nose. Dr. Ümit Hardal provides his patients with an aesthetic and balanced nose appearance using this technique.

Alarm Setting

Alar adjustment is a technique that reduces widened nostrils. This procedure can be done together with width reduction. By removing excess tissue from the nostrils, a more aesthetic and proportionate nose structure is achieved. Dr. Ümit Hardal eliminates the aesthetic concerns of his patients with this procedure and achieves natural results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty?

Open rhinoplasty is performed by making an incision on the outside of the nostril. This allows for more intervention into the nasal bone and cartilage. Closed rhinoplasty is performed by making incisions on the inside of the nostrils and leaves no visible scars from the outside. While open rhinoplasty offers a wider field of vision, closed rhinoplasty has the advantage of a shorter recovery time and minimal scars.

What is functional rhinoplasty and who can benefit from it?

Functional rhinoplasty is an operation performed to correct situations where the nose cannot perform its functional duties such as breathing, rather than correcting the aesthetic appearance of the nose. It is especially applied to people who have serious breathing problems. It is performed to correct structural problems such as cartilage or bone curvatures and allows patients to breathe more healthily.

How is septum deviation surgery performed and how long does it take?

Septum deviation surgery (septoplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to correct the curvatures in the midline of the nose. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 45 minutes. During the surgery, the bone and cartilage structures in the midline of the nose are corrected. After the surgery, a tampon is placed inside the nose and self-dissolving stitches are used.

How is a crooked nose corrected and what is the recovery process like?

Crooked nose correction is performed surgically. During this surgery, the nasal bone and cartilage structures are shaped at the correct angle in accordance with facial physiology. Swelling and bruising may occur after the operation, but these symptoms usually subside within a few weeks. The full recovery process can take several months, and it is important for patients to attend regular check-ups after the surgery.

What is nasolabial angle adjustment and in what cases is it necessary?

The nasolabial angle is the angle between the line from the tip of the nose to the upper part of the upper lip and the line from the upper lip, where the nostrils separate, to the bottom of the nose. This angle plays an important role in rhinoplasty. This angle, which is usually set at 90-95 degrees in men and 100-105 degrees in women, affects the nasal protrusion and rotation of the tip. Nasolabial angle adjustment is taken into account in rhinoplasty operations to achieve aesthetic and natural results.
