Rhinoplasty for 40 Years and Older
The attention and importance of a person’s facial features rises to the top during adolescence. A noticeable incompatibility in the facial features is a lack of self-confidence in the progressive process, introversion, etc. it causes problems to occur. Among the most noticeable points on the facial features is the nose, and the incompatibility found on the nose bothers people more decently. When it became so important to have a nose in proportion to our face, the demand for rhinoplasty operations led to the realization of it at an early age. Although rhinoplasty is not recommended at an early age for bone development, women at the age of 17 are considered suitable for rhinoplasty, while this age is 18 in men. Individuals who complain about their nose can make peace with themselves by gaining the nose structure they desire with the help of rhinoplasty surgeries at the ages we have indicated when they feel emotionally ready. While nasal aesthetic operations have set a lower limit for age due to bone development, is there an upper limit for age in nasal aesthetic operations? are individuals aged 40 and older suitable for rhinoplasty aesthetic operations?
Preferences for Aesthetic Surgery at the Age of 40
compensations for postponements in aesthetic operations that are needed at the age of 40 are being made. Especially as a result of postponing the discontents felt during adolescence for various reasons, the 40s cause efforts to compensate for these years. At the beginning of the demands that often occur at this age, nose operations come first, and the person shows a preference to change the structure of the nose so that he can become completely at peace with himself. While there is a lower age restriction for nose operations, there is no upper age restriction due to the completion of bone development, we warn you not to postpone your needs too much. With advancing age, the healing process of wounds slows down, and the loss of elasticity in the skin increases. For this reason, with each age you postpone, the probability of performing comprehensive surgeries will decrease at the same rate, and the probability of obtaining the expected result from the operation will decrease.
What Should be Considered in Rhinoplasty Operations at the Age of 40 and Older
Men may need rhinoplasty operations for reasons such as breathing difficulties or snoring in later life, and women may request rhinoplasty surgery only for aesthetic concerns. Although there is no risk to prevent the fulfillment of these requests, there are a number of age-related points that should be taken into account when performing rhinoplasty operations for people aged 40 and older. After paying attention to these points, the expected results can be obtained in the operations to be performed.
Due to the advanced age, the blood values and blood pressure of the people who will undergo the operation are measured.
Chest X-ray and cardiac electrography are examined.
The suitability for anesthesia is checked.
Psychologically, his preparation for the operation is checked.
By informing about the long recovery process, the patient is prepared for the operation from a psychological point of view.
Men should be warned about the change in appearance they will experience after the operation and whether they are ready for this change should be questioned.
After all these stages are checked, rhinoplasty operations are performed. With advancing age, operations that will cause small changes should be preferred instead of comprehensive surgeries.
The Healing Process After Rhinoplasty
Although it is done for aesthetic purposes, rhinoplasty is an operation and there will be bruising, redness and swelling problems afterwards. Especially this process will take longer for men due to the fact that their skin is thicker and more oily. Since patients are psychologically prepared for this situation before the operation, this process will be bypassed in the best way. To get through this process smoothly;
Liquid nutrients should not be consumed within 8 hours after surgery.
Smoking during the healing process will slow down the healing process.
Heavy physical activities should be avoided for at least 3 weeks.
The nose should be protected against bumps for the first 3 months after the operation.
For flu, colds and respiratory problems, you should contact your doctor without wasting time.
