Assoc. Prof. Ali S. Resuli Informs: What is Functional Rhinoplasty?

As it is known, rhinoplasty, or nose aesthetic surgery, has rapidly increased not only worldwide but also in our country in recent years. With this rapid increase, some side effects have emerged. In recent publications and conference studies, functional rhinoplasty is now prioritized over traditional aesthetic nose surgery. What is functional rhinoplasty? As we know, the nose is an organ of the body with its own unique features. The main functions of the nose include breathing, working in coordination with the facial mimics, and contributing to the sense of smell, among others. Functional rhinoplasty aims to correct the appearance of the nose to match the anatomical structure of the face while maintaining its essential functions such as breathing, smelling, and integrating with facial movements during surgery. Within this new concept, we offer functional rhinoplasty surgeries at Tema Istanbul Hospital, utilizing modern technological tools, and have been achieving excellent results, leaving our patients satisfied and happy.
