The extent of improvement in the nose depends on the surgical intervention performed, the nasal structure, and the condition of the cartilage tissue and nasal skin. Striking results can be achieved in cases of obvious nasal deformities. Minor imperfections can be corrected very successfully, but the results may not be as dramatic.
After rhinoplasty surgeries, comments from family and friends stating that they do not see a significant difference in the person’s face can lead the patient to start thinking negatively. Such reactions should not be seen as a failure; on the contrary, it should be considered that a successful rhinoplasty provides a natural appearance, and the outcome is actually successful because the surgery is not noticeable. The aim of rhinoplasty is to create a nose that is harmonious with the overall facial features and enhances beauty, rather than creating a strikingly new nose. Sometimes, the same result can be achieved with minor corrections and revisions.
In rhinoplasty surgeries performed using an accepted scientific technique, the factors that positively or negatively affect the outcome are listed below:
Factors Positively Affecting the Outcome;
- No prior surgery
- Problem-free wound healing
- Thin nasal skin
- Strong cartilage tissue
- Thin nasal tip
- No disproportion between the nose and face
- Adherence to doctor’s recommendations after surgery
Factors Negatively Affecting the Outcome;
- Poor wound healing
- Thick nasal skin and seborrhea
- Weak cartilage tissue
- Thick nasal tip
- Nasal and facial disproportion
- Non-adherence to doctor’s recommendations after surgery
The most common disharmony is a chin that is recessed and small in proportion to the nose and forehead. This condition is statistically observed in 25% of patients. In such cases, chin augmentation aesthetics are recommended to achieve a more proportionate profile and for the surgery to yield more positive results. For eight years, in chin augmentation surgeries performed at our clinic, we have been using the patient’s own tissues instead of prostheses and performing tissue transplantation to the chin area with a needle. Your doctor may recommend such an intervention as the results will be more favorable. This procedure can be performed concurrently with rhinoplasty.
Other Factors Negatively Affecting the Outcome:
- Having undergone one or more previous surgeries
- Need for ear cartilage and rib grafting in large-scale interventions during surgery
- Unhealthy skin in the surgical area
- Surgical skin being scarred, stiff, and too damaged to allow treatment
Intervention for such patients is a vital necessity. While a definitive result cannot be achieved with a single intervention, only the poor appearance is reasonably improved, allowing the person to feel more comfortable in their social life. These types of patients require multiple corrective surgeries.
