What is Aesthetic Surgery for the Arched Nose? Will There Be Permanent Damage?

Our nose shape represents the symmetry and characteristic features of our face. In fact, looks, smiles, gestures and facial expressions are formed entirely with the structure of the nose. If the bone on the bridge of the nose that gives shape to the nose is too arched or crooked, some aesthetic and functional problems may occur. The arched nose shape may be congenital or may develop later as a result of a trauma (accident, blow, etc.). However, when we consider that arched and characteristic nose structures are frequently encountered in our country, we can say that it is more genetic.

Due to reasons such as the social environment, competition in business life, feeling better about oneself and wanting to be liked by others, more importance has been given to physical appearance. Due to this situation, many people, both men and women, want to see a beautiful and attractive face when they look in the mirror. However, continuing to live in the shadow of a curved nose is not everyone’s choice. Because our external appearance and our spiritual world are directly proportional to each other.

Rhinoplasty with a hump is divided into two groups: surgical and non-surgical. Of course, which method is more suitable for you will be determined by your specialist doctor. While the nasal hump is not very prominent in some people, it is quite prominent in others. Patients whose nasal hump is not very large are suitable candidates for the non-surgical method. If there is a hump nose that completely changes the facial expression, then surgical intervention is required. Before the hump nose surgery, the patient’s nasal structure and shape are examined in detail. It is determined which region inside the nose the hump on the patient’s nasal dorsum is closest to. In some cases, the hump may belong to the cartilage structure or the bone structure. It has also been observed in cases where both are present. For this reason, the compliance of the nasal dorsum with the other parts of the face is calculated and the rate at which the hump should be reduced is determined. Afterwards, the necessary examinations and tests for the operation are performed and the patient’s health status is checked. If there is a previous surgery or illness, these conditions should definitely be shared with the doctor.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia with an open or closed technique. In the open technique, the nasal dorsum is cut and the necessary correction is applied, while in the closed technique, the operation is performed by entering through the nostrils. No matter which technique is applied, the target is to remove the hump on the nose. Since there will be a flattening in that area after the hump is removed, the bones in the wings of the nose are also brought closer to each other. The hump nose aesthetic is also applied for nose tip reduction surgery. Thus, the patient can have a nose that is proportionate to his/her face and smaller than before. As in all nose surgeries, the aim in hump nose aesthetic is to look natural. The operation takes about 2 hours. If no symptoms occur after the surgery, the patient is discharged. Afterwards, it is recommended to rest for at least 2 weeks and to lie down with the head elevated. In this way, pain, bleeding and swelling that may occur can be prevented. Since these conditions are part of the recovery process, there is nothing to worry about. After returning to daily life, the patient should go for check-ups at the intervals determined by the doctor. The ideal age limit for aesthetic surgery is 17 years and older for women and 18 years and older for men.

In non-surgical applications, fillers or botox substances are used. It is useful to remind you again that the non-surgical technique is suitable for mild protrusions, collapses or curvatures. If such a situation is the case, the correction can be done in 30 minutes with local anesthesia.
