   If you think that there is an unwanted shape or functional disorder in your nose as anatomical or after an accident, or if you think that your nose is not harmonic with your face, if you can not breathe from you nose easily you can benefit from this surgery. Correction or shaping of nose is among cosmetic operations that are most frequently demanded. This is a surgical operation that rearranges and improves nose to correct any damage in nose or correct an anomaly that can be genetic. The aim is this as anatomic, but it must not be forgotten that its aims can widened as achieving a better nose and increasing trust and performance. This operation is appropriate for all women and men who completed their adolescence period.

   Rhinoplasty is a rearranging surgery as a nose surgery. Dimensions of your nose can be reduced or increased, end or bridge of your nose can be changed, nostrils reduced or angle between nose and upper lips can be changed and nose can be corrected by removing excessive bones on nose.

   But complaints about nose are not only limited with these. Sometimes it may be necessary to enlarge a nose that is smaller than standards. Corrections for ends or wings of nose can be necessary. Nose aesthetic can not only be thought as a plastic surgery, it consist of a correction related breathing function of nose. Breathing problems are seen frequently in persons who have shape problems in their nose. Dimensions of nose can be reduced, enlarged, its width can be reduced and increased, shape of its end and back can be changed (for example removal of roman of nose, if available), nostrils can be narrowed or angle between nose and upper lip can be changed (nose lifting) during correction of nasal obstruction without disturbing respiration function of appearance of nose. Besides, deviations of structure called septum can be corrected at the same surgery, which occurs due to growing crash and occurs at middle of nose.

   Making a good evaluation and a surgery plan before surgery can provide a much more satisfactorily nose both for aesthetic and functional. Rhinoplasty can be applied in all ages after completion of nose growing. 16-17 ages in boys and 17-18 ages in girls must be accepted as sub limit for nose surgery. If it is necessary surgery can be made in earlier ages in excessive deformed noses as well as in traumatic nasal deformities.

   In most of the platforms the discussion in relation whether open technique or closed technique is better exists. Both techniques have advantageous and disadvantageous. Both techniques have patient group to be applied. Application must certainly be selected according to patient and expectations. Surgery period changes between 1-2 hours. Tampon application changes according to preferences, but I do not use it. If bone skeleton is also shaped in the surgery then plaster is made on back of nose. Patient accommodates in the hospital for 1 night, plaster is removed after 5-7 days. Cycnonasis are rarely seen and recovers in 1 week after surgery.
