In this article, we will be sharing the answer to the question ” Will Rhinoplasty help patients with Allergic Rhinitis?

What is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is a complaint that occurs with a non-microbial infection. The allergen in the environment is taken into the nose by inhaling and sticks to its inner surface. Some symptoms develop in people who are sensitive to this condition.

What are the symptoms of allergic rhinitis?

We can list the symptoms of allergic rhinitis as follows;

• Itching felt in the nose, dilution, and runny nose.
• Sneezing and continuous attacks.
• Itching on the palate.
• Desire to clean the throat constantly.
• Watery and itchy eyes.
• Tiredness.

Factors Causing Allergic Rhinitis

Animal and plant proteins are light enough to be carried in the air and difficult to see. These proteins accumulate on the membranes in the eyes, nose, and mouth. Particles such as pollen, fungus, animal hair, dust, and membranes also accumulate. Especially in the early spring pollen and trees cause allergic rhinitis. In addition, bacteria that mold bread and fruit, dry leaves, meadows, seeds, and straw cause allergic rhinitis.

How often is Allergic Rhinitis seen?

There are many allergic diseases. Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common of these diseases. Approximately 20% of society suffers from this problem. This disease is a type of illness that is mild for some and severe for others. It affects negatively the quality of life of patients with allergic rhinitis. As can be seen in later years, it generally occurs between 1 and 20 years old. It is possible to encounter a similar disease in the family.

Allergic Rhinitis Types

Allergic rhinitis disease can be categorized according to various factors. We can explain the types of allergic rhinitis as follows;

• Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (also known as hay fever): It is the name given to allergic rhinitis triggered by factors such as tree pollen that occurs in a certain season. This season is usually spring and patients are more comfortable in other seasons.
• Perennial Allergic Rhinitis: We can call perennial allergic rhinitis when the patient is in contact with dust, animal hair, and allergens in various environments throughout the year. The complaints of these patients go on consistently.
• Occupational Allergic Rhinitis: These patients experience complaints due to the occupational substances they have to deal with in the work environment.

How Is the Allergic Rhinitis Diagnosed?

Factors such as the patient’s environment, age, and previously used medications should be determined. Genetically allergic status should be checked. Allergy tests should be applied. Individuals who do not respond to allergic treatment should have a detailed nasal examination.

Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis has different types of treatment. We can list these treatment types as follows;

• Stop contact with allergens.
• Treatment with medication.
• Vaccine therapy.
• Surgical intervention.

The first goal in the treatment of allergic rhinitis is changing life conditions. Allergy treatment is started by removing the factors that may cause allergies at home, at school, or at work. Drug treatment is a type of treatment that is applied when there are no infectious or functional problems. If the allergic reactions of the person continue despite stopping the contact with the allergen and drug treatment, vaccine treatment is applied. When a functional disorder in the nose is revealed, allergic rhinitis treatment is performed by surgical intervention. These functional disorders can be caused by the current state of the nasal turbinates (chonca).

The Role of Rhinoplasty in the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis

The operation does not directly treat allergic rhinitis. If patients have conditions such as curvature in the nose, rhinoplasty can be helpful. Nasal cavities in the nose are widened and breathing is relieved. Apart from this, turbinectomy can be performed.

Rhinoplasty surgery is a simple and functional surgery in terms for allergic rhinitis. With this surgery, the surface that faces the allergen in the epithelial tissue of the upper respiratory tract decreases. This provides physical benefits and reduces sensitivity. Allergens stick to the area less and the person can improve their quality of life. Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed to reduce the complaints and usage of the medications.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suleyman TAS performs septorhinoplasty surgeries by the Closed Atraumatic Technique for patients with allergic rhinitis and relieved numerous patients so far.  Throughout our article, we have shared with you the factors that cause allergic rhinitis, the treatment methods for allergic rhinitis, rhinoplasty in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, and many other details.

Rhinoplasty (Nose job) is a surgical intervention to correct the shape, structure and functional disorders of the nose. Rhinoplasty may have many different types, which are also known as aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty. So, what do they mean?

What is Aesthetic Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?

Aesthetic rhinoplasty aim to eliminate deformities related to the shape and/or structure of the nose via surgical interventions. As a matter of fact, a nose that bends or points too much to the left or right, may cause an asymmetrical and undesirable appearance to the other features of the face. Aesthetic rhinoplasty aimed to eliminate aesthetical deformities via surgical interventions. We can list the major nose deformities that may require cosmetic nose surgery as follows:

Causes and Treatment of the Nasal Deformities

As can be seen above, there are many reasons that may require aesthetic rhinoplasty. One may have one of these problems, or more than one. Often, correction of a key area can give results that allow the entire nose to achieve a better balance with eyes, mouth, forehead and other parts of the face. For this reason the nose structure and face of the person should be analyzed well; Aesthetic surgery should be applied according to the person’s nose type.

What is Functional Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?

Functional nose surgery requires surgical interventions to correct the functions of the nose, such as breathing and to improve the patient’s quality of life. In this respect, it differs from Aesthetic nose surgery which eliminates formal and aesthetic deformities. However, although functional rhinoplasty and cosmetic rhinoplasty appear different from each other, they can be applied simultaneously in some cases. If the person has problems such as breathing through the nose and has complaints about nasal deformities, the plastic surgeon can perform functional and aesthetical rhinoplasty together. In some cases, the patient refers to the aesthetic doctor with only one complaint. However, as a result of the examination, different problems can be revealed and the patient can be offered both aesthetical and functional rhinoplasty together. We can list the main problems that may require functional rhinoplasty as follows:

Breathing Problems

Due to a deep knowledge of the ENT, Maxillofacial areas Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suleyman TAS addresses all aesthetical and functional issues in one surgery by the Closed Atraumatic Rhinoplasty which prevents tissue damage, strengthens weak parts, minimizes swelling and accelerates the recovery process. For detailed information about aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty please contact TAS Aesthetic Surgery via Whatsapp number +90 543 4563693.

In this blog, you will find rhinoplasty experience step by step with detailed description performed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suleyman TAS with the Closed Atraumatic Technique. Thanks to this technique whole interventions are applied through the nostrils without cutting the tip of your nose, with respect to each tissue and ligament, consequently zero bruising and less swelling with a fast recovery.

During Rhinoplasty: First of all, the surgery will take in average 2-3 hours depending on the severity of the case under general anesthesia administered by the accredited anesthesiologist of the hospital. At the end of the surgery you will be applied a thermoplastic cast and modern silicon tampons in order to stabilise your nose both externally and internally. After being observed in a recovery room for about 30 minutes you will be transferred to your room. You will stay overnight in the hospital under observation, that night you might have some bleeding and leaking which will be significantly less the following days.

48 Hours After Rhinoplasty: First 48 hours after the surgery swelling will reach the maximum level and starts subsiding from the 3rd day. You need to be ready for limited breathing and getting to know breathing through your mouth.  You will be using certain medications and cleaning your nose twice a day.  On the 4th post op day you will be invited to the TAS Aesthetic Surgery Clinic for check up and will be given a special device to reduce the swelling until the cast removal day. It is a proven treatment which is described in details in Dr. TAS’s publication.

7 Days After Rhinoplasty: In average 7 days after discharging your cast and silicon tampons will be removed which is a totally painless procedure. After this procedure you will feel relief and start breathing through your nose. On the cast removal day almost all patients have a presentable look with zero bruising and minimal swelling and the most important thing a natural look as if you were born with that nose. When you will see your nose first time in the mirror you will see a beautiful nose but may feel strange as for your subconsious it is something new. So, now you are breathing freely and returning home as a completely new person with the rhinoplasty experience. People around will keep guessing what has been changed on your face?

2 Months After Rhinoplasty: After two months the significant amount of swelling will subside and you will be able to see the midterm results as you will be massaging your nose by special techniques which speed up the recovery process. For thick skinned patients the swelling on the upper side of the nose will resolve and come down by the gravity and will be mainly concentrated on the tip of the nose. Since it is made of soft tissues it will recover the latest. The tip settles over time into its final position.

1 Year After Rhinoplasty: Nasal structures keep being dynamic and changing throughout the healing process as the swelling doesn’t subside symmetrically. At least after one year you will be able to achieve the final results, if you have a thin skin even earlier than that. Finally your nose, your face, your confidence, your life will be upgraded to the brand new level thanks to the nose surgery done by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suleyman TAS. For better rhinoplasty experience, the patient should be in touch with the plastic surgeon.

The Alignment of the Nose in Rhinoplasty: Fix Down Concept

Abstract

Background:The current literature on rhinoplasty mainly focusses on the nasal profile (sagittal plane); however, the nose is a 3-dimensional structure, and alignment of the nose in consideration of other aspects is important to achieve an aesthetic result. The author aimed to introduce the fix down concept which includes fix down technique and the adjunct maneuvers for achieving alignment of the nose in 3 anatomical planes and improving the results of rhinoplasty in terms of symmetry.

Methods: Between March 2017 and December 2017, a total of 102 patients (78 female, 24 male), (13 revision, 89 primary cases) underwent septorhinoplasty with the fix down concept. The noses were evaluated in coronal, sagittal, and axial planes and classified according to their deformities.

Results:The functional and aesthetic results were satisfactory for the patients, examiners, and surgeon. No revisions were necessary during the follow-up period. In addition to the fix down technique; ethmoid bone grafting (16 patients); fix up technique (8 patients);dissection of the levator alaeque nasi muscle (14 patients); plication of this muscle (4 patients); superior based transposition flap (39 patients); rim grafts (17 patients); mucosa grafts (12 patients); double layer grafts (9 patients); maxillary deepening (5 patients); maxillary augmentationwith cartilage/bone grafts (21 patients); and supratip onlay grafts (7 patients) were employed as adjunctive maneuvers to achieve symmetry in the frontal, base, and profile views.

Conclusions: The presented fix down concept will help to provide 3-dimensional symmetric noses for rhinosurgeons.

Nose aesthetics is one of the most preferred surgeries among aesthetic surgeries.  Millions of people all over the world every year have their rhinoplasty done because of the various reasons. The main reasons are either genetic or acquired nasal malformation. Generally people are wondering the reasons causing acquired nose deformities which we are going to explain on this weeks blog prepared by Assoc.Prof.Dr.Suleyman TAŞ. All details you have been wondering about the reasons of the nasal deformities, symptoms and treatment you can find in our detailed paper. Hope it will be useful for you and please enjoy reading it.

What is the nasal malformation?

Nasal malformation is the general name given for the disinformation caused by the genetics or took place  consequently to the injuries, traumas or the illnesses independent from the genetics. It is a physical problem that may cause aesthetical and functional issues.

The reasons of the nasal malformation 

After giving the description of the nasal malformation we can go on counting the reasons causing the nasal deformities.

1) Hormonal disorder
One of the main reasons causing nasal deformity is the hormonal disorder. Because of the hormonal and genetic disorder there might take place deformities in the skin, bone or the cartilage tissues of a nose. This situation may cause the nasal malformation. Especially in the adolescence period correspondingly to the changes happen in the body a nose starts to change as well. By the end of the puberty cartilage wideness, nasal bone disfigures, intranasal malformation caused by the hormonal disorder might become permanent. We can say that two main reasons causing nasal malformation are genetics and hormonal disorders.

2) Traumas and injuries
Cartilage tissues present in the nasal structure may be disfigured by the traumas or severe injuries which can be permanent. Especially the injuries received in the adolescence period may cause the nasal malformation on a still growing facial features.

3) Skin diseases
On the places close to the nose may occur tumours. For instance, the tumours formed on the skin consequently to the skin canser may become more visible on a nose by the time. Therefore, causing nasal deformities and malformation in a long term.

4) Chronic medication usage requirement
Since intranasal structures are affected by the liquid medication regularly used inside the nose it may cause different types of intranasal malformation. The medication which is useful in a short term may change the cartilage structures in a long term. These kind of medications may dissolve and disgfigure the nasal structures. On the other, hand regularly taken drugs like cocain may cause deformities in a long term.

Symptoms of the nasal malformation

Here are the symptoms of the nasal malformation

• Crookedness of a nose
• Tip droopiness
• Breathing issues and snoring
• A dorsal hump formation
• Uneven nostrils

If you have these kind of complaints and symptoms you might have a nasal deformity. You can consider a surgery to fix your nose functionally and aesthetically. Your plastic surgeon will need to have an x-ray and physically examine your nose. After that, your plastic surgeon will share the results and discuss the appropriate surgical plan with you.

This is the end of  this week’s blog prepared by Assoc.Prof.Dr.Suleyman TAŞ about the nasal malformation. If you have any questions regarding these surgeries please contact us via +90 543 456 3693 phone number. We wish you healthy and joyful week.

The nasal wing reduction aesthetics is among the frequently asked questions for those who have wide noses and nostrils and would like to have nose surgery.  Thus, the main two reasons for a wide nose are broad wings and nostrils. In this week’s blog as TAS Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic, we would like to inform you about the reduction of the nostrils and wings of the nose.  Hope it will be helpful for you and please enjoy reading it.

What makes a nose wide? 

Before proceeding with the details related to the wide nose reduction surgery we would like to summarize the main reasons for wide wings and nostrils. Certainly, the main reason is genetic. Deformity and excessive cartilage structures can be shown as examples. However, in some cases even when the nose is not broad, it might seem wide which can be seen in the following examples:

1) Lack of Projection

When looking at the profile, if there is not enough projection on the tip, nasal structures might seem wide.

2) The tip of the nose is too much lifted

If the tip of the nose is too much lifted, the nostrils might seem wider, which causes an overall broadness of the nose.

3) Alar retraction

In some cases even if the nostrils and the wings are not wide,  alar retraction might cause the opposite effect.

How are nostrils and wing reduction surgeries performed?

After summarizing the main reasons causing wide noses we can answer the questions related to the surgery for narrowing broad noses.

Generally, the reduction of the wings and nostrils is performed as a part of the rhinoplasty. However, for those who have only this complaint, it can be performed as well.  The most common treatment is the removal of limited tissues from the alar base and reshaping treatment. Airway flow shouldn’t deteriorate. In some cases, the wings can be made slimmer by just projecting or deprojecting the tip of the nose. Thus, we have already counted it among the reasons for wide noses.

Besides nostril reduction surgery, there are different techniques being used for the reduction of broad noses.  We use dissolvable stitches after surgical interventions for wide nose aesthetics performed by the Closed and Atraumatic Technique. Therefore there are no external scars after the nostril reduction aesthetics procedure.

This is the end of this week’s blog prepared by the TAS Aesthetic Plastic Surgery about the nostrils and wings reduction. If you have any questions regarding these surgeries please contact us via +90 532 056 3693 phone number. We wish you a healthy and joyful week.

The collapse of the nose is a kind of the nasal deformities. Also known as the saddle nose deformity it can be seen in many patients because of different reasons. On this week’s blog as TAS Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic we would like to inform you about the nasal collapse. Throughout our blog we will be answering the frequently asked questions such as ‘What is the nasal collapse? Why does it happen? and How can it be addressed?  Hope it will be helpful for you and please enjoy reading it.

What is the nasal collapse?

The nasal collapse is the pinched nose deformity formed by the space between the bridge and tip of the nose because of various reasons. If we handle it in details; as you know the nose is the most prominent thing on the humans face. Relevant prominency is provided by the nasal bones and cartilages functioning as a roof.  Because of the various reasons between the bridge and the tip there may occur a dent that causes a pinched and collapsed nasal appearance. Coloquially known as the ‘Boxers nose’ nasal collapse is also known as the saddle nose deformity.

What causes the nasal collapse?

There are two main reasons causing nasal collapse. It can be either genetic or acquired. Acquired deformity has two main reasons such as severe external trauma and the other reason is the deformity acquired after failed interventions of the plastic surgeon during rhinoplasty surgery. For instance, it can be gained consequently overreduction of the nose ridge by an unexperienced plastic surgeon. To sum up; the main two reasons of the nasal collapse are traumatic cases and failed aesthetic surgeries.

How can the nasal collapse identified?

Here we will try to give tips about how the nasal collapse can be identified.

• Collapse of a nasal bridge
• Insuffiecient nose tip support
• Shortening of the projection
• Retrusion on the lowest part of the nasal septum

   

How can it be addressed?

Finally we would like to inform you about the treatment and surgery of the saddle nose deformity. There are various methods for addressing this deformity. The main goal is to rehabilitate the functionality of a nose thus, several grafts and materials are utilized in the surgery. Including rib, ear or the radiated cadaver cartilage, titanium or silicon based materials. Preferably to use the tissues taken from the patients body. The main reason is the prevention of the possible infections and tissue reactions that can take place after the surgery. Although it is a matter of various preferences for each surgeon. The graft that will be integrated to a nose is discussed with the patient. After that a nose surgery is performed. As with each surgery there will be post op recommendations that need to be followed. Your surgeon will inform you about them.
