What You Should Consider Before Rhinoplasty?
- Explain well to your doctor what do you want and do not want.
- Let your expectations be realistic.
- Every person’s nose should be corrected according to their own face; even if it is the most beautiful nose in the world, someone else’s nose is not suitable for your face.
- Breathing is as important as the shape of the nose. It is even more important. “Life is breathing.”
- Try to be positive before and after the surgery, do not think of negative situations (patients who are positive during this period get through these periods much more easily).
- Quitting smoking before the surgery and not smoking for at least 1 month after the surgery is very important in the recovery period and for the success of the surgery.
- You should not eat or drink anything (including water) after 12 at night and in the morning before the operation.
- You should stop taking aspirin-like drugs 1 week before the surgery.
- A warm shower should be taken the day before the operation.
- Women should not wear jewelry, or make-up, and remove any nail polish on their hands and feet when they come to the hospital on the day of surgery.
- Men should trim their beard and mustache, and if possible, shorten the hair inside the nose.
- Instead of tight and loose clothing; large, front buttoned clothes should be preferred.
- After the necessary analyzes (blood, EKG, lung graphy, etc.) for the pre-operative anesthesia application are made and the examination is performed with an anesthesiologist interview; if there is no obstacle for you to have surgery, then you will be taken into surgery.
- After you are taken to the operating room, you will be put on a drip and preparations will be made (20-30 min.)
- After the operation, you will be taken to the wake-up room (20-30 minutes). • The average duration of the operation is 2,5 – 3 hours. This period may be longer or shorter depending on the procedures to be performed in the surgery.
- The duration for preparation in the pre-operative room + surgery + staying at recovery room may exceed 4 hours.
- The reason why it takes a long time is to carry out the operation in detail and carefully to correct all the defects, and to correct all the causes of nasal congestion (nasal growth, deviation of the inner part of the nose, etc.).
