Unrealistic Advertising: Laser Rhinoplasty!

Nose Job With Laser!

It seems that laser nose rhinoplasty has been done on different websites and that the laser is now a tool that facilitates nasal aesthetics operations.

Can laser applications be performed in nose operations?

The answer can be given as yes and can be used in the following areas:

- In septal cartilage deviation operations, laser melting or evaporation can be used without removing the curved cartilage areas.
- Can be used for open nose nasal surgery
- Can be used to remove or evaporate vascular masses in the nose
- It can be used for tightening the nose skin or nevus removal.
- It can be used for peeling or thinning the nasal skin.

Apart from these, it is not correct to pay attention to applications that do not have a scientific logic such as laser removal of the nasal bone, laser nasal rasping surgery, laser turbinate surgery.

People's laser applications "simple, practical, painless, bloodless, the latest technology!" shape perceptions, lead to the emergence of advertising campaigns away from scientific issues related olebiliy. All of the nasal tissues (bone, skin, subcutaneous tissue, cartilage ...) can not be shaped with laser. Laser can not be used in all surgeries .

Apart from these, for the reduction of turbinate, the first scientific work on laser usage was published in 2001 >> Endoscopic carbon dioxide laser turbinoplasty

The first study on laser-assisted septoplasty was published in 1997 >> Laser photocoagulation of the inferior turbinates

There is no scientific study exist about laser reshaiping of nose bone thus rhinoplasty operation.

Steroid Injection After Rhinoplasty

Image
The Use of Local Steroids After Nose Aesthetic Surgery Nasal cortisone injection should be considered as an important tool for any rhinoplasty or revision surgery that undergoes rhinoplasty surgery. In the next patient, in the patient who underwent 3rd (tertiary) revision nose surgery, and after the operation, and the nose tip view after 3 months, the "ball-shaped" appearance at the tip of the nose and the areas where cortisone injection was required were examined.
Do not confuse corticosteroids with anabolic steroids! When we use the term steroid in the world  and nose surgery, we are talking about a very specific type of steroids. The word of anabolic steroid is a hormone that is used for increased muscle growth in bodybuilders and actually refers to a different type of steroid called an anabolic steroid used to create this body mass. Rinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty after the "cortisone needle" as the nose used as the hormone that we call the type of steroid…

About Tonsil Cancer
Head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide and there are 40,000 new cases per year. Oropharyngeal carcinomas of the primary HNSCC are the third most common and the most common site of malignancy in the tonsil oropharynx.
What are the symptoms of tonsil cancer? In patients with tonsil cancer, the disease may manifest itself only by neck mass. The reason for this is that cancer can occur in the depths of the pit cavities called crypts in the tonsil structure, and the deep epithelial invasions of the surface epithelium make it jump to the neck lymph nodes without creating a marked mass formation in the mouth.


Squamous cell tonsil cancers can occur in 1 or more sites in the deep areas of the tonsils. In addition, the patient can swell significantly into the oral cavity without any symptoms.

Tonsils are lymphoid tissues and have rich lymphatic veins. It contains abundant lymphatics, which helps cancer to enter the neck nodes…

Elongation of Uvula
Photo descriptions: A photo showing the inside of a patient's mouth with snoring complaints. It appears that the patient's uvula is quite long and in contact with the tongue root. Uvula may prolong and sag due to many reasons such as snore-induced vibratory trauma, smoking, alcohol use. Uvulopalatal Flap (UPF) was planned for this patient.
Uvula's tasks (functions of uvula) Uvula is a structure under the soft palate, lying between the tonsils in the midline, with muscle, connective tissue and mucous membranes. There are duties such as preventing the mouth from escaping from the nasal passage and directing the discharge from the nasal passage to the esophagus instead of the trachea. It does not play much role in creating speech and sound as much as our language.
Symptoms of uvula elongation Some patients may experience uvula lengthening over time. If the uvula is longer than normal and comes in contact with the root of the tongue, the feeling of stuck in…
