Nose aesthetics is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgeries in our country. This surgery, which is sometimes performed for visual purposes, is often performed to relieve the person’s nasal congestion. The aim is to obtain a healthy nose that is aesthetically more beautiful and functionally comfortable to breathe.
In order to harmonize the nose with the face, changes can be made to the shape, size and general appearance of the nose. With this surgery, the nose can be reduced or enlarged, changes can be made in its contour, the arch on the back of the nose can be corrected, and the raising of the nose tip can be adjusted. However, the cartilage and bone structure of the person and the thickness of the skin allow for how much and to what extent all these can happen. Ear Nose Throat and Head and Neck Surgeon Specialist Op. Dr. Bahadır Baykal gave information on the subject.
