Nose Tip Lift

Rhinoplasty is an operation that has been performed for many years and has been very technically advanced in recent years. Nasal tip surgery is generally separated from nasal surgery. This operation can be performed for the purposes of thinning the tip of the nose, lifting, changing the angle, eliminating excess on the wings of the nose with an increase in projection. This operation can be performed under local or general anesthesia. An incision can be made from the inside with a closed technique, or an open technique can be applied by making an incision from the outside. The technique with which the operation will be performed depends on the patient and the desired result in the nose.

The difference between nose tip lift surgery and nose surgery

In nose tip removal surgery, only changes are made in the tip area of the nose. In English, it is called ‘nasal type surgery’. During this operation, no other area of the nose is intervened. Since it is performed without interference with the bone, it is separated from the normal nose aesthetic called rhinoplasty in this aspect. Therefore, bruising is less common and recovery is faster. During nose surgery, cartilage and bones interfere, which means that the recovery will take longer. It is also possible to perform rhinoplasty and nasal tip removal together.

The tip of the nose and the tissues in that area are the most important elements of the nose. The fact that the cartilage here is intact prevents falling and collapsing in the nose in the future. If both nose tip surgery and normal nose surgery are performed together, the cartilage coming out of the nose can be used to strengthen this area. In addition, different filling materials can also be used in nose tip lifting operations.

Who Should I Be?

During rhinoplasty, the tip of the nose can also be removed, or only surgery can be performed to remove the tip of the nose. People with low support for the tip of the nose, the tip of the nose is directed downward when laughing, asymmetry at the tip of the nose, and collapse of the wings can do it. However, to make the right decision, you need to get the opinion of a plastic surgeon. Because in some noses, only nose tip surgery does not give the right result.

During the first examination, the doctor examines the patient's nose and receives information about how the nose is requested. After that, a photo of the nose is taken and the photo is processed according to the patient's desired result. In this way, the patient has a general idea of the outcome before the operation. Despite this, it is important to note that the structure of the nose is complex. Surgeons often don't know what to face before opening the nose. So there may be a difference between the photo you saw earlier and the results.

After nose tip lift surgery, patients can usually go home within 4-5 hours. Tampons are also the most commonly feared thing when it comes to nose surgeries. Tampons used in the past both prevented breathing and were very painful as they stuck to the blood and feathers in the nose. Internal splint silicone tampons are now used when necessary for nose tip operations. Just as these tampons allow breathing, they are also more painful to remove as they do not clots and stick to the hair.

Recovery is observed in the first week after surgery. In desk jobs, there is no obstacle to working by protecting the nose from physical external influences. 1. After the week, there may be slight swelling in the nose and face. At the end of two weeks, all the swelling will go down. At 1 month, the nose sits exactly on the face. It takes a year for the nose to fully heal. If this operation is performed correctly, subsequent collapse or fall in the nose does not occur.

Although nose tip removal operations are generally low-risk operations, having a competent plastic surgeon perform it, as the nose has a difficult and complex structure, will ensure that you are satisfied with the results you will receive.
