    The success of a nose operation is measured not only by how it looks from the outside, but also by how well the person can breathe. A nose that looks aesthetically perfect is not considered truly successful if it cannot perform its respiratory functions.

    Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer, with his expertise in ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery, to which he has dedicated his academic career, combines the art of aesthetics with medical functionality in rhinoplasty.

    Aesthetic Appearance and Healthy Breathing, Both Together

    What is Functional Rhinoplasty?

    Functional rhinoplasty corrects deformities in the external appearance of the nose while simultaneously removing structural obstructions inside the nose to open up the airway. The goal of this operation is to create a natural-looking nose that is harmonious with the face, while permanently resolving problems that reduce quality of life, such as snoring, nasal congestion, and sleep apnea.

    Solving Functional Problems with Aesthetics

    The following structural abnormalities that cause nasal congestion can be treated simultaneously with cosmetic surgery:

    • Septum Deviation: A curvature of the cartilage and bone wall that divides the nasal cavity into two.
    • Concha Hypertrophy (Nasal Turbinate Enlargement): Enlargement of the nasal turbinates due to allergic or structural reasons to the point of obstructing the airway.
    • Valve Insufficiency: The collapse of the nostrils during breathing, obstructing airflow.
    • Nasal Roof Narrowing: A narrowing of the nasal roof due to previous surgeries or trauma, making breathing difficult.

    Why Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer?

    Functional rhinoplasty requires the surgeon to possess both an aesthetic vision and advanced ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) knowledge.

    • Dual Professorship Strength: Prof. Dr. Tezer, as both an ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery professor, intervenes simultaneously and comprehensively in the internal and external anatomy of the nose.
    • IBCPPRS Certification: His internationally recognized, top-level qualification in facial plastic surgery guarantees his expertise in preserving and improving the nasal airways while performing aesthetic changes.
    • Modern Techniques (Piezo): By using ultrasonic waves (Piezo) that protect surrounding tissues and vessels while intervening in the bone structure, he ensures faster and more comfortable functional recovery.

    Who is a Suitable Candidate for Functional Rhinoplasty?

    • Those who are dissatisfied with the shape of their nose and also suffer from chronic nasal congestion.
    • Those who sleep with their mouths open at night, snore, or wake up tired in the mornings.
    • Those who feel they cannot get enough air while exercising or during physical activity.
    • Individuals who have experienced both nasal deformity and difficulty breathing after trauma (impact, accident).

    Functional Rhinoplasty Recovery Process

    • Surgery: Usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 2.5 – 3 hours.
    • Breathable Splints: Instead of old-style gauze tampons, new generation silicone splints with an air channel in the middle are used. This allows you to continue breathing even immediately after the surgery.
    • Rapid Recovery: Functional recovery (improvement in breathing) is felt from the first week. You can return to your social and work life within 7-10 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Rhinoplasty

    1. Can septoplasty (correction surgery) be performed at the same time as cosmetic surgery?

    Absolutely. Both the curvature is corrected and aesthetic reshaping is done under a single anesthesia. In fact, the cartilage removed during the deviation surgery is used as “natural material” in the aesthetic reshaping.

    2. Will cosmetic surgery worsen my breathing?

    In surgeries not performed by experts, excessive narrowing of the nasal passage can lead to breathing problems. Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer protects and improves the airway by strengthening nasal support with “structural rhinoplasty” techniques.

    3. Will I experience loss of smell after the surgery?

    Modern techniques do not interfere with the olfactory region. Although there may be a temporary decrease in swelling during the first week, the sense of smell returns to normal as the tissues heal.
