The Mosaic Rhinoplasty technique is performed with the meticulousness of a mosaic artist. During the surgery, the patient’s own cartilage, bone fragments, and soft tissues—such as fat and fibrous tissue—are carefully processed into tiny, millimetric pieces without any waste. These valuable tissue fragments are then assembled in a precise and flawless arrangement.

Rhinoplasty—or cosmetic nasal surgery—is not merely a surgical procedure intended to alter the shape, size, or structure of the nose; it is a multifaceted process that aims to both address aesthetic concerns at the highest level and resolve functional issues, such as breathing difficulties.

Artistic and Functional Approach to Rhinoplasty with Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer

Renowned for his profound medical expertise, years of clinical experience, and specialization in ENT and head and neck surgery, Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer elevates rhinoplasty beyond a mere surgical procedure, transforming it into a personalized work of art.

Mosaic Rhinoplasty—a technique successfully performed at our clinic and a prime example of this philosophy—represents a revolutionary approach for those seeking perfection in the contours of the nasal bridge and tip.

What is Mosaic Rhinoplasty?

Conceptually, mosaic is an ancient art of imagery and ornamentation created by arranging small pieces of marble, stone, glass, or terracotta—varying in color—side-by-side with millimeter-level precision and embedding them onto a surface.

Rhinoplasty, in the truest sense, is a surgery of minute details. The “Mosaic Rhinoplasty” technique is performed with the meticulousness of a mosaic artist. During the procedure, the patient’s own cartilage, bone fragments, and soft tissues (such as fat and fibrous tissue) are carefully processed into tiny, millimeter-scale pieces without any waste. These valuable tissue fragments are then assembled in a precise and flawless arrangement to:

  • Correct micro-level defects, depressions, and irregularities along the nasal bridge,
  • Fine-tune the nasal tip and achieve natural projection.

Thanks to this method, even the most subtle contours—which are difficult to mask using traditional techniques—are reshaped much like a sculpture, ensuring a perfectly smooth and refined nasal design.

How is Mosaic Rhinoplasty Performed?

Mosaic Rhinoplasty requires the surgeon to blend high manual dexterity, aesthetic vision, and knowledge of tissue engineering. To ensure that the prepared millimetric mosaic grafts (cartilage and tissue fragments) fit the nasal structure precisely and remain stable, Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer selects the fixation method best suited to the patient’s anatomy.

Technical Details and Fixing Methods

These delicate fragments are secured using the following advanced techniques:

  • Fixation with Fine Sutures: The prepared micro-fragments of cartilage and soft tissue are secured to one another and the target area—much like embroidery—using extremely fine, tissue-friendly suture materials (such as 6/0 PDS) that are naturally absorbed by the body.
  • Arrangement on Spongostan: The mosaic fragments are arranged with millimetric precision onto Spongostan, a surgical absorbable gelatin sponge. This allows them to be placed onto the nasal bridge as a single, smooth unit, ensuring a natural transition.
  • Tisseel Tissue Adhesive Technology: Using the advanced Tisseel tissue adhesive (a fibrin glue), the fragments are effectively locked onto the nasal bridge or tip. This method minimizes the need for sutures, accelerates tissue bonding, and eliminates the risk of postoperative asymmetry or fragment displacement.

Why Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer and Mosaic Rhinoplasty?

  • Maximum Detail and Precision: Success in rhinoplasty lies in sub-millimeter details. Mosaic Rhinoplasty offers a flawless transition by eliminating even the slightest shadowing or irregularities along the nasal profile.
  • Natural, “Non-Surgical” Looking Results: By utilizing the artistic harmony of micro-fragments rather than rigid cartilage blocks, the nasal bridge feels completely natural, flexible, and soft to the touch. Visually, the result is an aesthetic nasal profile that harmonizes with the face as a whole, avoiding harsh surgical lines.
  • Personalized Anatomical Management: Every patient has a unique nasal structure, cartilage thickness, and skin type. Drawing on his academic expertise and experience with thousands of cases, Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer plans the density and placement of the mosaic fragments specifically for your facial features.
  • Maximum Tissue-Preserving Approach: Cartilage and bone tissues removed during surgery are not discarded; instead, they are repurposed as the most natural filler material to correct nasal imperfections.

Your nose, situated at the very center of your face, is key to both your health and your facial expression.
