Rhinoplasty surgery (nose aesthetics), when planned correctly, provides more predictable results in both aesthetic and functional aspects. The pre-surgery period is an important preparation phase that directly affects the success of the surgical process. In this phase, various medical, anatomical, and personal factors should be evaluated together.
Pre-Surgery Evaluation Process
Detailed evaluation before rhinoplasty is performed. This evaluation does not only focus on the shape of the nose; the entire face, internal nasal structures, and respiratory function are evaluated together.
In this phase:
- Nasal bone and cartilage structure
- Skin thickness of the nose
- Facial proportions and profile balance
- Respiratory function is examined. When necessary, surgical planning is clarified using photographs and digital analyses.
Establishing Realistic Expectations
Before rhinoplasty, one of the most important issues to pay attention to is having realistic expectations. Rhinoplasty is not a procedure that completely changes facial expression; the goal is a harmonious and natural recovery that is compatible with the face.
Before surgery:
- Goals should be set according to the facial structure
- Achievable results should be clarified
- Anatomical limits should be considered
This approach is crucial for post-surgery satisfaction.
Smoking and Alcohol Use
Smoking can negatively affect tissue healing. Therefore, it is recommended to quit or reduce smoking before rhinoplasty. Alcohol consumption should also be limited during the pre-surgery period. These measures contribute to a healthier recovery process.
Medications and Supplements Used
Medications regularly used before surgery must be evaluated. Especially:
- Blood-thinning medications
- Some painkillers
- Herbal supplements and vitamins
May pose a risk in the pre-surgical period. Therefore, medication and supplement use is planned in a controlled manner before surgery.
General Health Condition
The general health condition is important before rhinoplasty. If there are uncontrolled chronic diseases, active infections, or upper respiratory issues, surgical planning may be delayed. The goal is to ensure that the surgery is performed under safe conditions.
Daily Life Adjustments Before Surgery
During the pre-surgery period:
- Avoid upper respiratory infections
- Balanced nutrition
- Regular sleep schedule
These factors help the body prepare better for surgery.
Preparation Before the Day of Surgery
Before the surgery day, typically:
- No food or drink after the specified time
- No makeup or cosmetics
- Wear comfortable clothing
These basic preparations help ensure a safe and planned surgery process.
Psychological Preparation and Information
Rhinoplasty is both a physical and psychological process. Understanding the stages of the process and being aware of the recovery period before surgery is important. This helps make the post-surgery adaptation easier.
Before a nose aesthetic surgery, attention should be paid to proper evaluation, realistic expectations, general health condition, and surgical preparation. Rhinoplasty is a procedure planned individually, and the pre-surgery preparation process directly affects the quality of the outcome.
Correct planning and conscious preparation allow for a more controlled and predictable rhinoplasty process.
