Piezo rhinoplasty is a kind of plastic surgery which is in demand most at the present day. Turkey is in a very good position in the world in terms of “rhinoplasty” surgeries, and thousands of patients come to Turkey every year.
Piezo rhinoplasty is suitable for people anatomically with a nasal hump on the nose, for large and wide-nosed people, for people having problems of symmetry in their nostrils, for those who have disfigurement due to traumas such as fighting etc. and who have previously failed a rhinoplasty application.
The effects that cause breathing problems can be eliminated during the rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty surgery is performed with general anesthesia. It ends in 1-2 hours in average. Closed or open techniques can be implemented.
One night hospital stay is required after the operation. Then the patient can be discharged. A non-sticky tampon is placed inside the nose and an auxiliary support that we call a splint. The tampon is removed on the 3rd day, and the splint is removed on the 7th day. 3-4 days after the splint is taken, there are thin plasters on the nose. In the first week, there may be swelling and bruising on the face. However, bruising is almost negligible in the piezo technique. After 1 week, it decreases rapidly. At the end of 1 month, the swelling decreased by 80 %. The desired breathing level is reached between 4-6 weeks
