Neusoperaties

Neusoperaties, also known as nasal surgeries or rhinoplasty procedures, are medical interventions aimed at modifying the structure, function, or appearance of the nose. These procedures are commonly performed by ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialists or plastic surgeons to address aesthetic concerns, functional impairments, or both.

There are several types of neusoperaties, including cosmetic rhinoplasty, which focuses on altering the nose’s shape and size to improve facial harmony, and functional rhinoplasty, which aims to correct breathing issues caused by structural abnormalities such as a deviated septum. Septoplasty is a specific procedure conducted to straighten the nasal septum, thereby enhancing airflow and alleviating nasal obstruction.

Neusoperaties can be performed using different techniques, either through open or closed approaches. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), providing better visibility for extensive reshaping. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions made inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible external scars.

The procedures typically require local or general anesthesia and vary in duration from about one to several hours, depending on complexity. Postoperative care includes managing swelling, avoiding trauma to the nose, and following specific instructions from the surgeon to optimize healing.

Risks associated with neusoperaties include infection, bleeding, alteration of nasal function, scarring, and unsatisfactory aesthetic results. Outcomes are generally permanent, but minor adjustments may be performed if needed.

Neusoperaties are among the most common facial plastic surgeries globally, with millions of procedures conducted annually, often to enhance both nasal function and facial appearance.
