With a given indication for surgery, there are various possibilities and techniques for rhinoplasty.
The nose must always be viewed holistically. Before an upcoming aesthetic rhinoplasty, all functions must be checked. A rhinoplasty should always take into account and treat the functions of the nose.
An aesthetic rhinoplasty changes the position and relationship of cartilage and bone inside the nose. Sometimes it is necessary to reduce these structures, in some cases cartilage and bone tissue must be increased.
A beautiful nose should be aesthetically pleasing from every angle (frontal, lateral, from below or from above) and should be planned to fit each individual face. A beautiful nose is only beautiful as long as it matches the corresponding face.
An aesthetic nose operation should be performed in accordance with the patient’s face shape and bone structure, in a manner appropriate to the patient’s realistic expectations. Without exception, a better appearance should take function into account and improve it if necessary.
A nose correction (rhinoplasty) can technically be performed in two ways.
In aesthetic facial surgery, a distinction is made between open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty.
In closed rhinoplasty, the surgeon accesses the nasal cartilage via the nasal entrances in order to reshape it. The procedure via the nasal entrances leaves no visible scars for the patient.
However, not every nose correction can be performed using the closed method if the correction is complex. In addition, the surgeon can better assess the structure during open rhinoplasty and make the necessary changes much more precisely.
With open rhinoplasty, an external incision is made between the nasal entrances to provide a better view of the entire surgical area and correct malformations of the nose, which would not be possible with an operation through the nasal entrances alone.
When the incision is made at the bridge of the nose, the skin of the nose is then opened so that the nose can be corrected. First, the septum is corrected if necessary and the nasal conchae are reduced in size to restore the functionality of the nose. Next, your doctor will reshape the tip of the nose and create the desired shape by removing the nasal hump. The nasal pyramid will then be made narrower by cutting through the bones and pushing the nasal bones together. Finally, the accesses are sutured using self-dissolving sutures. The scar resulting from the nose correction is minimal to barely visible and is located below the nose, which heals quickly. If the nasal septum has also been straightened, thin silicone films are inserted to stabilize and support the wound healing. Dr. Ugurlu performs the nose surgery without tamponades.
Both operations are performed under general anaesthesia and take 1-2 hours depending on the severity of the operation. The rhinoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure, so that you can go home afterwards.
Medication and care instructions for postoperative aftercare are provided in advance with a prescription. On the day of the operation you should cool your face and neck, e.g. with a gel pad. In the first days after a nose correction, cooling around the eye and cheek area can be helpful to avoid swelling and bruising and to reduce existing swelling more quickly.
If a nose plaster was used, please make sure not to soften it. Washing the hair should therefore be avoided in the first week after the operation. Lukewarm showering (without hair washing) is possible from the 3rd day after the operation. Furthermore, you should sleep with your upper body elevated by about 30 degrees. During the first three days after a nose correction, avoid dry, very firm, hot and strongly spiced food to avoid any irritation of the nose. Above all, the patient should drink sufficient and regular amounts of water after the operation to balance the body’s water balance and accelerate the healing process. In addition, there is a ban on smoking and alcohol in the first weeks after the operation.
In the first week after the nose correction, control appointments follow, in which on the one hand the silicone foils are removed and on the other hand the plaster is usually removed after a week. After removal of the plaster, the nose is treated with a tape bandage, usually for another week.
In order to support the healing process of the nose, you should not engage in excessive physical activity for 3 weeks after the operation.
In order to support the healing process of the nose, you should not take excessive physical exercise 3 weeks after the operation, and you should also avoid sauna and steam bath visits during this time. As the skin of the nose is very sensitive to sunlight after the operation, avoid extensive sunbathing in the first 8 weeks and protect the skin with a high sun protection factor (SPF 30). After some nose corrections you should avoid wearing glasses or sunglasses for the first 6 weeks. Instead, you should wear contact lenses or light glasses during this period.

For the first three days after a rhinoplasty, you should sleep with an elevated headboard, use a second pillow if necessary. In order for the nose to heal well, it is important that you keep your nose still and thus its position can be held. An inner and outer cast is applied for this purpose. Showering and washing your hair should therefore be avoided in the first week after the surgery, as the cast must be kept dry.
On the day of the surgery, the face and neck should be cooled, e.g. with a gel pad. In the first few days after a nose correction, cooling around the eye area can be helpful to avoid swelling and bruising and to reduce existing swelling more quickly. If a nose cast was used, please make sure not to soften it.
Despite the most gentle surgical procedures, swelling and bruising can occur. After the rhinoplasty, the nose may be swollen and appear shapeless. This is normal and will subside during the healing process. The swelling of the nose begins approximately one week after the operation and usually reduces by 80% within two weeks. An almost complete decongestation of the nose (90%) can last up to two months.
Fever, chills, pain at the tip of the nose, an increasing redness of the nose, a continuous obstruction of nasal breathing even after the application of a decongestant nasal spray can all be indications of an inflammation or bruise. Please contact your treating doctor immediately.
Pain after a rhinoplasty is rare and can be treated very well with painkillers. However, these should only be taken after consultation with your treating doctor. In particular, the anticoagulant aspirin is not recommended in order to avoid internal bleeding.
During the first three days after a rhinoplasty, avoid dry, very firm, hot and strongly spiced food to avoid any irritation of the nose. Above all, the patient should drink sufficient and regular amounts of water after the operation to balance the body’s water balance and accelerate the healing process. In addition, there is a ban on smoking and alcohol in the first weeks after the operation.
In the first three days after a nose operation, avoid excessive facial expressions so as not to strain the operated nose and nasal skin.
A slimy or bloody nasal discharge in the first days after a rhinoplasty is normal. Dab it lightly with a clean handkerchief, under no circumstances should you rub it off or snort it.
Many patients also reported running noses after the operation. The healing phase results in increased production of mucus. These complaints usually end within three months and are completely normal.
Yes, extreme caution is advised after surgery. Avoid pressure, blow or pulling on the nose for six to eight weeks. After the surgery, the nose is not as stable as it was before the surgery, so you must be careful. Only two months after the surgery the nose regains its former stability.
For the first two weeks after a rhinoplasty, you should sneeze through the wide open mouth to avoid building up pressure on the nose. If necessary, the sneezing stimulus must be suppressed with medication.
After the rhinoplasty we recommend a nourishing nasal ointment and a nourishing nasal spray. These should be used according to instructions within the first days after the operation.
Avoid excessive physical activity for three weeks after the rhinoplasty. Even after that, you should not engage in any activities that could endanger the healing process of the nose.
After some rhinoplasties, glasses and sunglasses should not be worn for six weeks. Instead, you should organise contact lenses early on if necessary and wear only light glasses. We will inform you in time.
Postoperative nasal skin is sensitive to sunlight. After a rhinoplasty, protect your nose from excessive UV radiation (solarium, sunbathing lawn) for eight weeks. For long-term exposure to the sun, you should use UV protection with a high sun protection factor (SPF-30).
