Anesthesia Recovery After Rhinoplasty Operation

Image
What Is Waiting For You During The Wake up Period After General Anesthesia? We usually perform rhinoplasty operations under general anesthesia and I would like to share the following details with you about waking up the patients after the procedure. As I said before, I would like to emphasize the importance of anesthesia and sterilization conditions, except that the hospital conditions are only a luxury room or a waiting room with famous paintings. General anesthesia features and considerations during rhinoplasty operation During the rhinoplasty operation, when the patients are completely asleep and the operation begins, many surgeons want the blood pressure to be kept as low as possible. The reason for this is to reduce blood leakage as much as possible during the operations on the nasal bone, to reduce edema in the nose and around the face, and to reduce surgical bleeding. Sometimes it may be desirable to additionally reduce carbon dioxide levels. Again, during rhinoplasty operation,

Should Hair Transplantation or Rhinoplasty Be Done First?

Things to Consider If Hair Transplantation Was Performed Before Nose Aesthetics Operation I would like to add the following important information for our patients who are planning both hair transplantation and rhinoplasty operation at the same time in a limited time. I would like to emphasize that for both processes, a certain amount of time must pass between them and you should pay attention to the following recommendations. Is It Okay to Get Rhinoplasty After 7-10 Days of Hair Transplantation? Rhinoplasty operation can be performed 7-10 days after hair transplantation. It will be useful to pay attention to the following recommendations for the rapid elimination of edema on the face and therefore in the nose due to hair transplantation: - wearing a tight printed bandana on the head - sitting upright - keeping the room cool - applying cold arnica gel to the face and nose (5-6 times a day), this recommendation can be started a few days before the procedure - Using tablets containing Bro

Smell Perception Reduction or Changes After Rhinoplasty Operation

Image
Will Your Sense of Smell Be Changed After Nose Job? After the rhinoplasty operation, a temporary decrease in the perception of smell and then a permanent increase may occur. The reason for this situation can be explained as follows:  - There may be a "significant decrease in smile perception" in the first week after the rhinoplasty operation. The reason for this is the silicone splints placed in the nose after the rhinoplasty operation. The smell perception area in the nose is the olfactory area above the nasal cavity and with open nerve endings. In order for there to be a smell perception in this area, the outside air must come into contact with this area. As long as there are silicone splints in the nose, patients can only breathe through the 1 cm diameter hole of the silicone splints, that is, the air passage to the olfactory area is very limited and the smell perception is reduced to the maximum.  - After the rhinoplasty operation, there is an increase in the sense of sme

Vaccine Card Is Not Enough For Rhinoplasty Operation!

Image
To Have Rhinoplasty Operation in Istanbul, You Need to Have a Covid PCR Test  in Turkey  1 Day Before the Surgery If you want to have rhinoplasty in Istanbul and you are coming from abroad, the current procedure regarding coronavirus is as follows: Before the rhinoplasty operation, patients must have a coronavirus PCR test within 1 to 3 days, provided that they are in Turkey, and this test result must be negative. Having or showing the vaccination card alone is not sufficient for the rhinoplasty operation. As a standard practice, we usually send patients to hospitals 1 day before the operation. A covid PCR test can be performed in the hospital where the operation is planned or in any hospital, and this test result must be shown to the hospital before the operation. Surprisingly, if the coronavirus test is positive, the patient is quarantined. Patients ask us if these test results are sufficient after they get off the plane by taking a coronavirus test before boarding the plane, but as

Nose Trauma After Rhinoplasty Operation

Image
What Happens If You Get a Impact on Your Nose After Rhinoplasty? After the rhinoplasty operation, the nose may be traumatized, albeit unintentionally. Generally, simple accidents, hand or arm impact, a child throwing his head back while approaching, or a distant object may hit your nose. It may be unbelievable, but in many patients who say "I protect my nose", it can develop by chance and suddenly. Interestingly, the risk of nasal trauma may be reduced in patients with long-term nasal tape because it may mean that the nose tape that stands out at any time and the operation is emphasized. After a rhinoplasty operation, when there is nasal trauma, the probability of trauma-related nasal damage increases in the following cases: - Very strong traumas to the tip of the nose or to the nose from the side. In these traumas, the protective effect of the external cast on the nose will be less. If this trauma has occurred after the first week has been completed and the external splint h

Tonsil Asymmetry - Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment

Image
Asymmetric Tonsil Size In the photo above, it is seen that the right tonsil is larger and more medially located in the patient with tonsil asymmetry. It has been observed that there are deep crypt pits on the surfaces of the tonsils and at the same time, tonsil stones occur from time to time in the patient. It was determined that the tonsil asymmetry in the patient had been present for about 25 years (according to the patient's own story), and there was no change in the tonsil dimensions during the follow-up of the patient. Why Can Tonsils Be Asymmetrical? In patients with tonsil asymmetry, the problem is usually structural. The problem here is not only the size difference between the tonsils, but also the different locations of the tonsils. In some patients, although rarely, one tonsil may become larger than the other. However, in this case, as physicians, it is necessary to investigate whether there is an underlying neoplastic problem in case of increasing tonsil asymmetry. In ot

Why Do Some People Feel More Pain With Covid PCR Swab Tests Than Others?

Image
May Some Patients Feel More Pain During Nasopharyngeal Covid-19 PCR Test? The mucous membrane covering the inside of the nose is not very resistant to mechanical traumas, unlike our skin covering the outer part of our body. On the mucous membrane in the nose, there are mucus layer, cilia structure, free nerve endings, and glands. Reactions such as feeling of pain, feeling of sneezing or coughing, tearing or an increase in nasal secretion secretion with a reflex mechanism, when any object (nasal swab used for covid test, q type, finger) is contacted with the mucous membrane in the nose. may occur. In patients with nasal septum deviation, nasal valve collapse, turbinate hypertrophy, and intranasal mass, there may be more pain than normal when placing the nasal swab! Nasal swabs inserted into the nose for the Covid-19 test should be advanced to the nasopharynx. In case of "nasal septum deviation, nasal valve stenosis, turbinate hypertrophy, intranasal mass" narrowing the passage

A Peaceful Environment within 1-2 Hours of Istanbul: Şile and Agva

Rokethane Cafe - Şile and Robin's Nest Eco Resort - Ağva Boutique Hotel The photo above and the videos below were taken from the Rokethane Kafe in Şile ( https://www.kahvaltidanevar.com/rokethane-restoran-kafe-sile-istanbul/ ). This region used to be an area where ships were salvaged and firecrackers were produced and launched at the seaside during the Ottoman Empire. There is a paid beach next to it that. Very nice environment. Recent researches show that the surroundings of Şile were inhabited in the prehistoric (Polished Stone Age). In the prehistoric studies conducted on the Black Sea coast between Kefken and the Bulgarian border, many mansions and workshops belonging to various parts of the Paleolithic age and especially the Epi-Paleolithic period were found in various places. It is clear from the increase in the number of find sites that there was a significant population density on the Black Sea coastline coastline during the post-glacial period (approximately between 12000

Filler Injection For "Visible Shield Graft Edges - Tombstone Deformity"

Image
Non Surgical Nose Job With Filler For Camouflaging The Shield Graft Tombstone Deformity is the situation in which the appearance of a tombstone at the tip of the nose appears after the healing of the placed shield grafts over time in patients with ice skin structure. Generally, there is pitting and sharp cartilage edge image on both sides of the graft over time. I don't like using shield graft, especially in patients with thin skin features. I generally prefer to use cap grafts. In the treatment of Tombstone Deformity, removal of this graft, placing marginal rim grafts on both sides, or camouflaging the sharp edges by covering it with a tissue such as soft tissue, cartilage membrane, fascia can be considered. The link where you can find more detailed information on the subject >> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3199824/ Because the patient did not accept the operation, a non-surgical nose job procedure was performed with fillers containing hyaluronic acid, which
