Video endoscopic rhinoplasty (nose job), usually referred to as a rhinoplasty, may be a cosmetic surgery procedure for fixing and reconstructing the nose. There are 2 kinds of cosmetic surgery used – plastic reconstructive surgery that restores the shape and functions of the nose and cosmetic surgery that changes the looks of the nose.

In fact, rhinoplasty is simply a permanent nasal surgical procedure that can be both aesthetic as well as functional. Functional rhinoplasty typically deals with the problems caused by the nasal septum, breathing problems. Whereas, cosmetic rhinoplasty deals with the aesthetical aspects. The purpose of a cosmetic nose surgery is to make a nose suitable for facial profile. The fact that the structure of the nose can be determined by the person, the feeling of lack of self-confidence because of the size, arch or bone protruding of the nose and the desire to get admiration from the external environment, of course, makes rhinoplasty become widespread.

In general there are two types of rhinoplasty, open and closed.

-Open rhinoplasty

With an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes a small bridging incision, called a trans-columellar incision, to adjoin the right and left nostril incisions. The nasal skin can be folded upward and provide open visibility of the lower nasal structure. The open rhinoplasty approach allows for minimal distortion of the nasal cartilage and most individual components of the nasal skeleton can remain undisturbed.

–Closed rhinoplasty

All surgical incisions made for the endonasal approach are made inside of the nostrils. The parallel incisions encircle about half of the nostril lining, but no part of the incision can be seen externally and there is no visible scar. Although not having a visible scar, shortness of the recovery process and easiness of the operation can be a major benefit, there are considerable challenges and technical limitations associated with this approach.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty, also called Rhinofilling, is an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty for certain patients. Instead of surgery, dermal fillers are used to make corrections. However, unlike surgical rhinoplasty, it is not a permanent solution, as injectable fillers last only 6-9 months, on average, so the procedure must be repeated each time the effects wear off in order to maintain correction.

Rhinofilling is not a cure-all solution and does not apply to all situations. It is not recommended for large noses or when the hump is too big. In this situations rhinoplasty is the recommended solution.

– How is Rhinofiller performed?

Rhinofilling is performed at the doctor’s office, Topical numbing cream is applied to the nose. Using a blunt tip cannula, the doctor injects into the areas to be corrected. The combination of numbing cream and the use of the blunt tip cannula makes the experience quite comfortable. As the doctor makes his corrections, you are wide awake and can see the changes as they happen. Want a bit more adjustment? Just ask! Following the injections, you will be given an ice back to minimize any potential swelling, which dissipates quite rapidly. You can immediately see the results and go back to your day’s activities. Rhinofiller normally takes 20 minutes.

One of the most common plastic surgeries that people undergo is rhinoplasty. It is not dangerous – but just like any other medical surgeries, it comes with risks such as bleeding, infection, skin problems, pain or discomfort, serious nasal blockage, etc.

Afar from the risks, rhinoplasty is safe as long as you choose a reliable and highly-accredited rhinoplasty surgeon like Dr. Yakup Avşar. You see, this is where most problems root from – the failure to choose the right medical professional or clinic for the job. 

With the modern surgical techniques, combined with the skill, experience and expertise of a trustworthy surgeon, risks are minimised.

The best outcome is a nose that is in harmony with the facial features. While your rhinoplasty journey may begin with a celebrity inspiration, part of our job is finding a nose shape that looks natural and complements your facial features. Ultimately it is achieving a balance between your ideal and what looks good on your unique face. Because of that, we make a detailed evaluation of the results with our guests before the operation. By using Avşar Mask with 3D Printing Technology, that allows Dr. Avşar to designs the nose which fits to the patient’s face the most. In this technique, the patient’s nose and face are scanned first, and then a 3D shape is created. The data obtained is shaved like a sculpture in the computer environment and the most appropriate nose shape is revealed for patient’s face. the patient is thus much more comfortable.

There are two main reasons why a patient will want further nasal surgery. First, he or she may be unhappy with the appearance of the nose. This is the most common problem, since most people undergo rhinoplasty in the first place to change the nasal appearance. Second, the patient may be experiencing nasal obstruction after surgery. Sometimes the obstruction was present before the first surgery, and did not improve enough. Other times, obstruction can be caused by surgery. So if you are experiencing or you will experience one of these reasons you are likely to undergo a second rhinoplasty surgery.

A rhinoplasty patient should absolutely stop smoking and alcohol four weeks prior and post surgery. Smoking and alcohol both delay and interfere with the healing process. It is not safe to smoke nicotine and tobacco free cigarettes before and after surgery. A patients should wait to engage in intercourse 4-6 weeks post rhinoplasty.

Immediately after rhinoplasty your nose feels blocked and breathing through your nose can be difficult. Your nose can feel congested because of swelling of the inner lining of the nose, this will improve at the end of the first week. Swelling can also alter your sense of smell and this returns over the first 4-6 weeks. Permanent change in sense of smell is very rare.

As the senses of smell and taste are profoundly interconnected, your ability to taste may also be temporarily altered during your recovery from rhinoplasty. As the swelling subsides, your sense of taste will return to normal.

The 1st edition of his book underneath the name of “Micromotor assisted rhinoplasty” was printed in 2010. His article ‘The oscillating Micro-saw: a safe and Pliable Instrument for transverse osteotomy in Rhinoplasty’ in ASJ in August 2012 in USA. He established ‘AVSAR medical research center’ that specialize in micro-surgical tools and endoscopic robotic aesthetic surgery in 2013. He also innovated 3D mask simulation technique supported 3D printing technology in 2014.

How is the rhinoplasty technology in Turkey?

Good news is here for patients interested about endoscopic aesthetic surgery in Istanbul. Dr. Avşar is currently using new technologies, as well as minimally invasive cosmetic surgery and 3D technologies, to create recovery quicker and obtaining back to figure abundant easier.The biggest benefits to minimally invasive cosmetic surgery are less operative swelling, a shorter recovery amount and no external incisions.

A second rhinoplasty operation on the same patient is often called a “rhinoplasty revision” or a “secondary rhinoplasty.” Operating on a nose that has already had surgery is a much more complex procedure than an initial rhinoplasty. You might need rhinoplasty revision if your previous results did not turn out well. Usually, risks are rare or negligible if the procedure is done by the board-certified expert plastic surgeon. Therefore, you need an experienced doctor, like Dr. Yakup Avşar to do your secondary rhinoplasty.

Dr. Avsar likes to provide his patients a transparent image of how their nose surgery can change their look. Once he researched of 3D scanning and printing technology. He surmised that it might be doable to scan the face of a patient, simply sculpt that 3D image in CAD tools, and eventually turn out a 3d mask.

The cost of getting a nose job (rhinoplasty) varies, depending on the surgeon’s skill and experience, the type and complexity of the surgical sculpture, and regional cost differences.

Typical costs:

Rhinoplasty costs $3,000-$10,000 or more.

The average cost for the complete procedure is $4,500.

The best rhinoplasty surgeon is the one who is the right fit for you. There are many factors that go into deciding who you should trust to do your rhinoplasty. Some important factors to consider include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Approach and results. Before and after photos can be helpful in determining if you and your surgeon have the same aesthetic goals.

2. Simulation. Your surgeon should be able to produce simulated images of what your final result would look like. This is imperative to make sure you and your surgeon are on the same page when it comes to the look you would like to achieve. 3. Comfort. You should feel comfortable asking your surgeon as many questions as you need in order to get the answers you are looking for. You should walk out of the office feeling good and confident in your decision.

So as we have said before choosing a surgeon is the most important step that goes into rhinoplasty-preparetion. Qualification, experience, certification and communication is what you are going to find at Avşar clinic.

Dr. Yakup Avşar had invented his own techniques, like the micro-rhinpolasty and he is the designer of micro-tools and endoscopic systems. Endoscopic micro rhinoplasty technique applied by Dr. Avşar in rhinoplasty ensures that each stage is performed by seeing and monitoring. The secret is that the surgical area is enlarged by nearly twenty times, so that the detailed study is based on micro-surgery principles. In this way, both the nasal tip cartilage structure, the nasal-back bone structure and the airway anatomy can be designed and made with precision.

Having realized the importance of accuracy in such work, Dr. Yakup Avşar has become a global brand introducing an innovative approach in the field of nose surgeries. He has managed to thrive in developing an endoscopic arm with the name AVSARM, in addition to micro-cutting and micro-shaping tools.

He innovated the 3D mask simulation technique based on 3D printing technology. The most important feature that distinguishes this technique from others is that the patient can experience the new nose closely before the surgery and experience it by touching. The patient is thus much more comfortable to decide on the surgery and afterwards, unfavorable situations are not encountered.

And the most important thing for us is that the patient will feel completely comfortable from the first step of that journey. From the first meeting between the doctor and the patient, the doctor will listen to his patient’s expectations and will printed it in 3D mask, the patient will feel free to ask the doctor about anything. A patient will be completely impressed by the professional standards of Dr. Avşar, the clinic and members of staff he will be surrounded by. A patient will not only be pleased with the results, but the level of care pre and post-surgery will amaze him.
