We carry out such aesthetic procedures safely, provided that we take all the necessary measures in the hospital.

We reduce the risk of transmission to a minimum by applying virus-related measures before surgery, at the time of surgery and in the care of the postoperative service. During the hospitalization period, no visitors are accepted, and we keep the patient’s bedtime as short as possible. Therefore, rhinoplasty operations can be performed easily by taking the necessary precautions during the covid-19 process.”

But if he is going to use a surgical mask after rhinoplasty, we should pay attention to the fact that it is wired. Also, in the process of recovery, preference can be given to all kinds of masks that do not put pressure on the tip of the nose. In addition, it can be used as an additional visor. The stranded part of the mask should be bent to take the shape of the nose belt and worn after both ends of the wire are bent outwards by 2-3 mm and turned into an inverted ‘U’ shape. Thus, we can protect the tip of the nose from pressure in this way,” he said.
