What Is Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the shape, size, and proportions of the nose. The surgery can be performed for both aesthetic and functional purposes. Aesthetic rhinoplasty improves the appearance of the nose, while functional rhinoplasty addresses breathing difficulties.
Op. Dr. Emine Şakalar is an ENT and Head-Neck Surgery specialist providing rhinoplasty services in Eskişehir. An individualised surgical plan is prepared taking into account each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
The nose is an organ located at the center of the face that affects the entire facial balance. Therefore, rhinoplasty is considered one of the most critical procedures in facial aesthetics. A properly performed rhinoplasty not only changes the nose but can positively transform the entire facial harmony and proportions.
Rhinoplasty Types and Techniques
Rhinoplasty is categorized into various types based on the technique and goals:
Open Rhinoplasty
In the open rhinoplasty technique, a small incision is made on the narrow bridge between the nostrils. This technique allows the surgeon to directly visualize the nasal structure and work with greater precision. It is preferred for complex cases, situations requiring tipplasty, and revision surgeries. The post-operative scar becomes invisible over time.
Closed Rhinoplasty
In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils. No visible external scar remains, and post-operative swelling is generally less. It is preferred for patients with limited correction needs. Op. Dr. Emine Şakalar is skilled in both techniques.
Tipplasty (Nasal Tip Aesthetics)
Tipplasty is a more limited procedure that only corrects the shape and position of the nasal tip. Without any changes to the nasal bridge, the tip can be refined, lifted, or reshaped. It offers advantages of shorter operation time and recovery period.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is performed for patients who have previously undergone nose surgery and are dissatisfied with the results. Revision cases are advanced procedures requiring greater experience and expertise. Op. Dr. Emine Şakalar evaluates each revision case individually.

Recovery Process: What to Expect?
Although the recovery process after rhinoplasty varies individually, the general picture can be summarized as follows:
First 48 hours: Mild pain, swelling and bruising are expected. Head elevation (high pillow use) and cold application ease this period. Nasal tampons are usually removed within 24-48 hours.
Week 1: The cast or splint on the nose remains in place. Pressure sensation, nasal congestion and mild pain may occur during this period. At the end-of-week check, if healing is going well, the cast is removed.
Weeks 2-4: Swelling largely subsides and you can return to social life. Cosmetic products can be used. However, accessories such as protective masks and sunglasses should not yet be worn.
Months 1-3: General appearance is improving and swelling gradually decreases. Patients can fully maintain their social and professional lives during this period. Exercise can be gradually resumed.
Months 6-12: Final results begin to emerge. Especially refinements and settling at the nasal tip are completed during this period. Op. Dr. Emine Şakalar is with you at every stage of this process.
