Hi everyone,I'm a teenager considering rhinoplasty to correct some features of my nose that I'm unhappy with. However, I'm unsure if I'm too young for such a procedure or if it's safe at my age. Has anyone else undergone rhinoplasty as a teenager, and if so, what was your experience? Any advice for someone in my position? Thanks for your input.

I had Rhinoplasty done 3 years ago in a clinic in Turkey, I was extremely pleased with the result. The important thing is to do research. It is a bit troublesome for me during the healing process because your nose gets blocked, you have to endure it for a while. I had it done in this clinic, check it out if you want. <a href="https://lygosclinic.com/about-us/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://lygosclinic.com/about-us/</a>

Teen Considering Rhinoplasty

I've been considering getting a rhinoplasty to address some issues with the appearance of my nose. However, I'm a bit nervous about the process and the potential results. Can anyone who has undergone rhinoplasty share their experience? How was the recovery process, and are you satisfied with the results? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, Recovery typically involves some degree of bruising and swelling, which can be managed effectively with pain medication, ice packs, and keeping the head elevated, especially during sleep. Staying hydrated and avoiding strenuous activities in the first few weeks will also aid in your recovery. Choosing the right surgeon is paramount—ensure that they are board-certified and have a wealth of experience in facial surgeries. Discussing your aesthetic goals with your surgeon during the consultation will help align your expectations with the achievable outcomes. It's normal for the final results to take up to a year to fully stabilize as the tissues settle and heal. If you have any concerns during your recovery, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon. Wishing you a smooth recovery and excellent results.

Considering Rhinoplasty - Need Advice

Hello, good day to you, After my rhinoplasty, the doctor recommended washing my nose with a saline solution, but I've seen recipes for making it at home on some websites. Do you think it's safe to use these homemade solutions? I'm worried about getting an infection if I use these DIY solutions.

Actually, it's best not to risk it with homemade solutions. After surgery, your body is more susceptible to infection, and even a minor mistake in the homemade saline preparation could cause a big problem. Commercially available saline solutions are inexpensive and formulated specifically for such uses, ensuring they are safe and effective.

Can I Use Homemade Saline Solution for Nasal Irrigation Post-Surgery?

Hi all,I recently underwent rhinoplasty surgery, and I'm currently in the recovery phase. I'm looking for tips and advice on how to make the recovery process as smooth as possible. Any suggestions for managing pain, reducing swelling, or speeding up healing would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hello, Post-operative care is critical for a successful recovery from rhinoplasty. Key recommendations include keeping the head elevated, even during sleep, to reduce swelling. Cold compresses can be applied to help with this as well but should be used as directed to avoid any complications. It's crucial to avoid strenuous activities, including heavy lifting and bending, for at least the first two weeks post-surgery to prevent bleeding and excessive swelling. Rest is indeed vital; the body repairs itself more efficiently during periods of rest. Follow-up appointments are non-negotiable. These allow your surgeon to monitor your healing and intervene early if there are signs of complications. Adhering strictly to your surgeon's instructions, including the use of a nasal splint, ensures the best possible outcome. It's important to note that while some natural remedies like arnica cream and pineapple juice are popular among patients for their perceived benefits in reducing bruising and swelling, they should complement, not replace, the guidance from your surgical team. Remember, the final results of rhinoplasty can take up to a year to fully materialize as the swelling subsides and the tissues adjust. Patience and careful adherence to post-operative instructions will lead to the best outcome.

Any Rhinoplasty Recovery Tips?

Hey everyone, I've been considering getting a nose job for quite some time now to address some insecurities I have about the shape of my nose. However, I recently got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and it's making me wonder if it's safe for me to undergo such a procedure. I'm concerned about how the arthritis might affect the healing process or if there are any additional risks I should be aware of. Has anyone here with rheumatoid arthritis undergone a nose job or consulted with a plastic surgeon about it? I'd really appreciate any insights or advice you could offer. Thanks!

Dear SometimesLu,I echo the importance of consulting both your rheumatologist and a plastic surgeon experienced in working with patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This condition can introduce additional considerations for surgery, such as medication management and potential risks of inflammation and delayed wound healing. Your medical team will work together to ensure that any procedure is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Can I Get a Nose Job if I Have Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Which choice is gonna do the trick better for my bulbous nose: rhinoplasty or those non-surgical fillers?

Hello, Thank you for your question. Non surgical fillers&nbsp; can provide volume but not definition. Main thing that needs be done in nose surgeries is not only to fill the nose tip but also provide a definition to the nose. Stitching and graft techniques can be used&nbsp; by performing the closed rhinoplasty surgery without any scar on the columella. I hope it helps.

Concerns About Nose Shape

Hi there,I've been researching non-surgical nose job procedures as an alternative to traditional rhinoplasty. I'm curious if anyone here has tried it and what their experience was like. Did you achieve the results you wanted? How long did the results last? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, Non-surgical nose jobs, often referred to as "liquid rhinoplasty," involve the injection of dermal fillers to alter the shape of the nose temporarily. This method is indeed less invasive than surgical rhinoplasty and offers the advantage of immediate results with minimal to no downtime. However, patients should be aware that results from dermal fillers are temporary, generally lasting between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual patient factors such as metabolism rate. Fillers can address issues like smoothing out bumps, altering the angle of the nose tip, and refining nasal symmetry, but they cannot reduce nose size or correct major nasal deformities. It's critical to seek treatment from a reputable and experienced practitioner to ensure safe application and the most aesthetically pleasing results. If you're considering a permanent change, surgical options should be discussed with a qualified plastic surgeon who can guide you based on your nasal structure and aesthetic goals. For those contemplating changes to their nasal appearance, whether temporary or permanent, it’s crucial to have a thorough consultation with your practitioner to understand all options and potential outcomes.

Is Non-Surgical Nose Job Worth It?

Could someone provide guidance on how to reduce the arch in my nostrils? I generally like my nose and don't want a drastic alteration. I've consulted one doctor who suggested using ear cartilage, but he mentioned it may not be very effective. Are there alternative techniques or options that could be considered for this issue?

For permanent results for your nose you should think only about nose surgery, the other operations will be temporary

Guys, I need help. Something's gone wrong with my nose

I realize that manipulating the frontal cartilage can pose challenges, but I have a specific idea of the nose I'd like to achieve. I'm seeking a subtle change to eliminate the less flattering contours without altering the width of my nostrils. Are there any local surgeons experienced in performing this type of rhinoplasty? Could you also clarify whether this would require an open or closed rhinoplasty, and what the expected timeline for seeing results might be?

Hello, Thank you for your question.Boxy tip appearance can be treated by closed rhinoplasty surgeries. It is required to refine the middle and upper part of the nose accordingly tip refining.It will give better results. Closed rhinoplasty can be used in these situations. it will take about a year for the nose to reach final shape .But the nose gradually takes its shape on third or forth week of the post op.

Can a rhinoplasty procedure address and eliminate the unappealing, squared-off contours of the nose's sides?

Hi everyone, I'm feeling quite distressed at the moment. It's been nearly a week since my rhinoplasty procedure, and I can't help but think that my nose looks larger than I had hoped for. The doctor recently removed the cast from my nose, but I'm not entirely pleased with the current size of my nose. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced a similar situation after their nose surgery. Did your nose initially appear larger, and did you eventually become satisfied with the results over time? I still have stitches on my nose, and I'm hopeful that once they are removed, my nose will take on a more desirable shape.

it is not strange if u have swollen&nbsp;one side and the other not it is ok your nose need time tofind itself😃😃

Post-Rhinoplasty Swelling and Nose Tip Concerns

Is it possible to reduce the nostrils and make the nose bridge narrower without undergoing surgery? Does anyone have experience with non-surgical nose reduction?

Liquid nose job is a good non-surgical method that doesn’t require anesthesia, and results can be seen very quickly. It also costs much less than surgical procedures. With this method, some imperfections of the nose can be corrected. However, it is not used for reductions; they mostly have a filling property.You may send a photo so I can identify the imperfections of the nose

Nose smaller without surgery? Anyone try??

Is there any possibility to correct the slight beak-like appearance caused by my smile, which tends to make my nasal tip sag?

It can be improved with fillers, if you don't want to have surgery, to make support for the nasal tip and reduce the sagging. But a surgical procedure may be needed to completely correct the problem and even make the tip a little upward. It is better to provide a few photos for a better consult.

I have one more question. How long should I take a break from wine and beer before I go in for my nose job? Is there a specific number of days or weeks recommended?

Hi, Although minimal amounts of alcohol consumption may not interfere with daily activities, this is more than important when it comes to surgery. There are 3 major reasons for this.1. First of all, alcohol consumption can modify blood coagulation time, hence act as a blood thinner resulting in bleeding and/or edema and swelling that are important in aesthetic procedures.2. Alcohol consumption immediately prior to surgery can result in increased diuresis (which means increased urination) hence making it difficult to control your blood pressure, electrolyte balance hydration altogether.3. Alcohol consumption can change the way your liver metabolized medicine, hence intake of alcohol in combination with antibiotics and non-steriod anti-inflammatory drugs can result in increased/decreased metabolization of the medicine and overdose or underdose of the medicine required.In general, I advice ro alcohol intake for 2 days prior to surgery and 1 week after.

Ali Riza Oreroglu

How long before my rhinoplasty should I abstain from consuming alcohol?

I underwent rhinoplasty, but I desire to lower the tip of my nose and rectify the curved portion. Is it possible to achieve these revisions through surgery? After my rhinoplasty, my nose ended up looking really short, turned up, and wide, almost like a bony shape. Can a revision fix this? I want to bring down the tip of my nose and fix the curved part.

In every case, the ideal result may not be achieved, but in general, there is no deformity that cannot be corrected within certain limits. Depending on the content of the problem in the nose, if the cartilage in the nose is not sufficient for the procedure, rib cartilage may need to be removed.

What should one anticipate? How much time is typically required for healing post-operation, when does the swelling usually subside, and how long before one can resume work and other activities?

Hi, Thanks for this good question. The recovery time for rhinoplasty surgery varies from person to person and is also related to many different conditions. I am going to explain this in a systematic approach:First of all, a rhinoplasty shows its final result in 1 year. It sometimes even takes up to 2 years for some patients for their nose to have its final shape post surgery. Typically, you get operated, have&nbsp;your cast removed in 5-7 days and will have your nose swelling start to decline with&nbsp;time. I generally tell my patients that:<ul><li>70% of&nbsp;&nbsp;swelling will be gone in 1 month</li><li>90% in 3-6 months</li><li>99% in 1 year and 100% in 2 years</li></ul>However there are some factors contributing to this recovery:<ol><li>Surgery: The technique used and the delicacy the surgeon utilized has a great role in how minimal your swelling will be and how quick your recovery shall be.</li><li>Skin thickness: The thicker your nasal skin, the longer your swelling takes to go away and hence the longer your recovery period. The thinner your skin is, the shorter this period will be and the quicker you will see your final results.</li><li>Bleeding: If you have bleeding disorders and/or are operated close to or throughout&nbsp;your menstrual period, you are more prone to swelling and therefore a longer recovery period.</li></ol>In summary, you will be required to rest for 3-5 days, although you can go out for a coffee to meet friends, have your cast removed in a week after which you can return to your own country (get in a flight) with no trouble. You can start to work immediately after this period in case your job does not imply a risk of&nbsp;trauma to your face.

What does the usual recovery process from a rhinoplasty entail?

Can you make the end of my nose higher all the time, but not take away bone or make it smaller?

Hello, a detailed examination is essential for rhinoplasty. At our clinic, we conduct a special simulation study tailored to your needs. For a detailed examination, please send your photos to me. You can find my contact information in my profile.

Can the end of my nose be raised forever?

I'm thinking about getting a nose job, but my work schedule is pretty tight. Can I go back to work just a few days after the surgery? Like, can I use tape to help my nose and keep working without needing a lot of downtime?

Hi. Very likely (after aesthetic nose surgery); You can study on the 4th, 5th or 6th day. The structure of the nose can be said more clearly with the examination and surgical planning to be performed, the date of start of work (Of course, only with the new bandage on the top of the skin color nose). Regards.OprDr. Cem Altı

When can I return to work after rhinoplasty?

Hello. I'm interested in undergoing a nose job surgery, I'm currently dealing with heart failure. Could this potentially pose a risk for me? I appreciate your insights.

Hello, rhinoplasty is considered a non-essential surgical procedure. Consequently, it is generally not advised if you have any existing medical conditions.regards

Is nose surgery a hazard for individuals with heart failure?

I am 48 years old, I have high blood pressure, I use medication in the morning and evening, does this prevent me from having nose aesthetic surgery?

Hello, blood pressure disease does not prevent nose surgery. It is recommended that you get your doctor's approval. Detailed examination is important for nose surgery. You can contact us for what you are curious about rhinoplasty.

I have high blood pressure, I use medication all the time, can I have rhinoplasty?

I'm not sure what caused this indent, I used to have a nose piercing on this side for a few years - could that be why? I'm also curious about ways to make it less obvious, like maybe using fillers or going for rhinoplasty. My nose's right side has a similar but less noticeable indent, which looks natural. But on the left side, it's more like a circle. Some lighting makes it stand out more, and when I squeeze it, it's less flexible than the other side.

Fillers can be used in the nose to improve issues such as asymmetries and indentations. You may likely benefit from fillers injections to your nose for your problems as well. I recommend seeing a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discussing your options after a physical examination.Hope this helps.Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRAS European and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon in Istanbul, Turkey

Can I fix or conceal an indent on the left side of my nose?

I want the tip of my nose to be lifted without the bone being removed. Is it possible?

It is possible to lift the nose only with the intervention of the tip of the nose without interfering with the nasal bone

Ekrem Keskin

I would like to have the tip of my nose lifted without the need for bone removal.

Is it possible for the tip of my nose to be permanently lifted without removing the bone and undergoing reduction?

You need to come to the examination for the most accurate information.

Caglayan Yagmur

Is it possible for the tip of my nose to be permanently lifted?

I am 18 days post-septorhinoplasty and have noticed that my nose feels quite firm and rigid. Can I expect it to become more supple and regain a natural feel over time? I underwent this procedure to correct issues that arose after a netball accident two years ago, which resulted in a prominent bump on my nose and a deviated septum. The surgery involved removing the bump, straightening my nose, and refining it by removing some cartilage. My ENT specialist mentioned that the rigidity and firmness might persist indefinitely in some cases. Is this true?

It is common for a nose to be hard and stiff after a rhinoplasty surgery. 18 days is a very&nbsp;early stage in the healing process, so it is quite normal for your nose to be hard and stiff. The tip is usually last to soften and lose the swelling, so it may take up to a year and sometimes more for your whole nose to feel soft and normal to you.Hope this helpsAli Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRAS European and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Istanbul, Turkey

Will the stiffness and hardness of my nose decrease over time?

Hey there, my nose tip feels a bit on the wide side, and while it's not a major bother, it does bug me a bit. I've attached a picture for reference – do you think I should go for a nose tip surgery or just a regular aesthetic procedure? Just to note, I'm fine with my nose bone, so no changes needed there.

Hello, your photos cannot be displayed. detailed examination is important for rhinoplasty. In our clinic, a special simulation study is carried out for you. For detailed examination, you can send your photos to our number via whatsapp. You can review the before and after photos of our patients via our website. Healthy days.

Should I reduce the width of my nose tip, go for nose tip aesthetics, or consider overall nose aesthetics?

Good afternoon. I had a cyst, an air sac, and a curvature in my nose. I underwent surgery to address these issues, but I also discussed cosmetic enhancements with my doctor. The doctor informed me that due to cartilage damage in my nose, I might not be able to proceed with those changes. However, I'm still unhappy with the appearance of my nose. I'm wondering what options are available to me?

Hello, first things first, could you please send photos from the front and side views in order to proceed?

Is it possible to have rhinoplasty even if the cartilage in my nose is crushed?

I had a mishap that resulted in a broken nose. It was notably askew when we made our way to the medical practitioner. Faced with the options of either having it manually adjusted by the doctor or opting for surgery, I chose the former, primarily due to my apprehension towards surgical procedures. The doctor swiftly realigned it using his hand and then affixed a securing tape to maintain its position. I was instructed to let it stay put like that for an entire week. Over this period, I observed swelling and discoloration around my eyes. When we returned for a follow-up, the tape was removed, with the doctor reassuring me that everything was in order. However, I've noticed an irregularity, a sort of bump, in one corner of my nose accompanied by a small bruise akin to a mosquito bite. Four months have passed since the incident, and there is a significant discomfort that brings me to tears whenever my nose is hit accidentally. I feel as though the healing process hasn't completed. I would appreciate some guidance regarding my next steps.
