Rhinoplasty
Whether there will be a visible scar after rhinoplasty operations is one of the issues that our patients are most curious about. Although the visibility of the incision scar varies according to the technique used, the results are aesthetically acceptable.
There are two types of surgical techniques, closed and open techniques, which plastic surgeons generally use in rhinoplasty.
Open rhinoplasty technique
In rhinoplasty operations performed with the open technique, a small incision in the shape of a V or W is made from the lower base of the nose and incisions are opened in the nostrils, lifting the skin of the nose up and the operation is performed. After the operation, the incision is closed with very thin stitches. The incisions heal within a few weeks. The traces, on the other hand, become indistinct over time. As long as there are no problems during the operation or recovery, there is no visible scar that bothers the person.
Closed rhinoplasty technique
The second method applied is the closed technique. In closed technique preferred nose surgeries, the incision is opened from the inside of the nostrils. Structural disorders in the nose are eliminated by shifting the nasal skin. Then the stitches are inserted into the nostrils. Thanks to this, no visible traces are formed, even if slightly from the outside.
There is no difference between the two techniques in correcting problems in the nose. With both of them, all deformities of the nose can be eliminated. Which technique will be used in the operation depends on the surgeon’s preference and expertise. Whichever technique the surgeon you choose prefers to use, he performs your nose surgery with that technique.
Apart from the incision site, the surgery is performed in a similar way in both. Most often, general anesthesia is used. Surgeries take an average of 1-4 hours. Again, according to the surgeon’s preference, plaster and tampon or splint and tape can be used.
Splints and protective tape that make breathing easier are applied more. It should be remembered that the main goal of all surgeons in all aesthetic operations is to ensure that the scars are not as obvious as possible.
