What are the types of rhinoplasty?

In surgeries performed to make the nose symmetrical, harmonious and proportional to the face, its types vary depending on the problem in the nose. These are;

• Rhinoplasty due to deformity (primary rhinoplasty)

• Complicated (revision) aesthetics (complicated rhinoplasty)
• Nose Aesthetics (Tipplastic)
• Aesthetics due to breathing problem (septorinoplasty)
• Concha Surgery
• Breathing Problem Surgery (Septoplasty)
• Non-surgical rhinoplasty
  
  

1- Rhinoplasty due to deformity (primary rhinoplasty)

It is an aesthetic operation performed to enter deformities in the nose, which is generally preferred in nose surgeries. If there is a nasal arch that disrupts the facial symmetry, the nasal arch is removed, the cartilages are reduced if necessary, and the projection of the nose is shortened.

2- Complicated (revision) aesthetics (complicated rhinoplasty)

Repetition of surgeries that have undergone nose surgery before but still the problem is not resolved is called complicated or revision. In revision surgeries, the nose is restructured in terms of appearance and a healthy, aesthetic nose is obtained.

3- Nose Tip Aesthetics (Typplastic)

It is a type of surgery performed in order to eliminate my deformity at the tip of the nose, without touching the area where the nasal arch is, in which the cartilage structure of the nose is intervened.

4- Aesthetics due to breathing problem (Septorhinoplasty)

It is a type of operation in which the nose is shaped aesthetically, as well as the breathing problem is eliminated. In rhinoplasty, arch and cartilage curvatures are intervened, and the structure that prevents breathing is corrected.

5- Concha Surgery

Meats in the inner part of the nose are called ‘contains’. Conchas grow over time due to environmental reasons and physiological reasons, sometimes by showing allergic symptoms and preventing oxygen from the airways. In the operation performed in rhinoplasty, the concha in the nose is reduced, thus making breathing easy through the air ducts.

6- Breath Problem Surgery (Septoplasty)

In nose surgery, it is the procedure performed by interfering with the polyp, turbinate or septoma that prevents breathing only in the nose, without any aesthetic concerns. Septoplasty operation provides more comfortable breathing by intervening in the nose. Thus, the quality of life of the person is increased.

7- Non-surgical rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, which is called ‘liquid rhinoplasty’ in medical terminology, is a type of non-surgical aesthetic that is applied to the outer surface of the nose without the need for anesthesia, just to remove deformities in the nose. Deforming in the nose of the person, nose filling method, in the projection image of the nose, filling is made with the injection method to the areas that disrupt the structure. This method is a temporary nose aesthetic method, and after a while, the filler melts without harming the body. Problems such as wrinkled appearance, contouring problems, low nose tips are eliminated with non-surgical rhinoplasty. As with open surgery, this technique has some advantages. Expert surgeons decide whether rhinoplasty should be closed or open.
