All you need to know about Rhinoplasty: Price, Process and Post-Operative

Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures worldwide. It aims to change the shape, size or function of the nose to create a more harmonious and satisfying facial profile. If you are considering rhinoplasty, here is what you need to know about the process, costs and post-operative care.

1. Overall Rhinoplasty Process:

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the preferences of the surgeon and the patient. The general steps in the process are:

• Initial consultation: You will meet with your plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, examine your nose and discuss possible surgical options. This is an opportunity to ask all your questions and understand realistic expectations.
• Surgical planning: Your surgeon will establish a personalized surgical plan based on your aesthetic and functional needs. Modern technologies, such as 3D simulation, can help visualize potential results.
• Surgery: During surgery, the surgeon accesses the internal nasal structures through incisions usually placed inside the nose (closed rhinoplasty) or sometimes outside the columella (open rhinoplasty). Bones and cartilage are reshaped to achieve the desired shape.
• Closing incisions: Once the surgery is complete, the incisions are closed with sutures and a nasal dressing is placed to support and protect the nose during healing.

2. Price of rhinoplasty:

The cost of a rhinoplasty can vary considerably depending on several factors, including the surgeon’s reputation, the complexity of the procedure, the geographical area and hospital costs. On average, the price of a rhinoplasty in France can range from 3,000 to 10,000 euros, or even more, depending on individual circumstances. In Turkey, where cosmetic surgery is also highly prized, prices can be more competitive, typically ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 euros for a rhinoplasty.

3. Post-operative care:

After surgery, it is essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to promote rapid recovery and optimal results. Some general post-operative care tips include:

• Rest and recovery: Plan to take a few days to a week of rest after surgery to allow your body to recover. Avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks.
• Pain and swelling management: Your surgeon may prescribe analgesics and anti-inflammatories to manage post-operative pain and swelling. Apply cold compresses as recommended to reduce discomfort.
• Medical Follow-up: Be sure to follow all follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor healing and remove sutures if necessary. Report any unusual symptoms, such as excessive bleeding or infection.
• Avoid touching your nose: Avoid touching or manipulating your nose during the recovery period to avoid disrupting the healing process.
