83 yayın terimi

Rhinoplasty

A surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve appearance, proportions, or breathing. Aesthetic and functional goals are often addressed together.

Devamını oku →

Septorhinoplasty

A combined surgical procedure that corrects the nasal septum and reshapes the external nose in a single operation.

Devamını oku →

Functional Rhinoplasty

A surgical approach focused on improving nasal airflow by correcting structural abnormalities that obstruct breathing.

Devamını oku →

Revision Rhinoplasty

A secondary surgery performed to correct or improve results from a previous rhinoplasty procedure.

Devamını oku →

Deviated Septum

A condition in which the cartilage and bone wall dividing the nasal cavity is displaced to one side, causing nasal obstruction.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Valve

The narrowest cross-sectional area of the nasal passage; divided into internal and external valves, it determines most of nasal airflow resistance.

Devamını oku →

Turbinoplasty (Turbinate Reduction)

A surgical procedure that reduces the size of enlarged nasal turbinates to improve airflow.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Dorsum

The bony and cartilaginous upper surface of the nose that defines the nasal profile when viewed from the side.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Tip Plasty

A rhinoplasty sub-procedure focused on altering the shape, projection or rotation of the nasal tip.

Devamını oku →

Osteotomy

Controlled bone cuts in rhinoplasty to reposition the nasal bones into a new alignment.

Devamını oku →

Columella

The strip of skin and cartilage separating the two nostrils and connecting the nasal tip to the upper lip.

Devamını oku →

Cartilage Graft

A piece of cartilage harvested from the septum, ear or rib, used in rhinoplasty to support, shape or reinforce nasal structures.

Devamını oku →

Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

A modern rhinoplasty technique using high-frequency ultrasonic vibration to cut bone precisely without damaging surrounding soft tissue.

Devamını oku →

Open vs Closed Rhinoplasty

The two fundamental rhinoplasty approaches: open technique involves an incision across the columella; closed technique keeps all incisions inside the nostrils.

Devamını oku →

Open Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty approach that exposes the nasal framework through a small columellar incision.

Devamını oku →

Closed Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty approach in which all incisions remain inside the nostrils without an external skin incision.

Devamını oku →

Spreader Graft

A cartilage graft placed alongside the septum to support the internal nasal valve and middle vault.

Devamını oku →

Alar Batten Graft

A cartilage support graft used to reinforce external nasal valve or alar sidewall collapse.

Devamını oku →

Alar Rim Graft

A graft used to support the nostril rim, reduce alar retraction and refine nasal tip contour.

Devamını oku →

Columellar Strut

A vertical cartilage graft placed between the medial crura to increase nasal tip support.

Devamını oku →

Shield Graft

A shield-shaped cartilage graft used to improve nasal tip projection and definition.

Devamını oku →

Septal Cartilage Graft

The most commonly used autologous cartilage graft in rhinoplasty, harvested from the nasal septum.

Devamını oku →

Rib Cartilage Graft

A cartilage graft harvested from the rib for primary or revision rhinoplasty requiring major structural support.

Devamını oku →

Ear Cartilage Graft

A cartilage graft harvested from the auricle for smaller contour and support needs in rhinoplasty.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Tip Projection

A rhinoplasty measure describing how far the nasal tip projects forward from the face.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Tip Rotation

A rhinoplasty parameter describing the nasal tip angle and its upward or downward orientation.

Devamını oku →

Supratip Deformity

A contour problem where fullness or an irregular transition appears just above the nasal tip.

Devamını oku →

Pollybeak Deformity

A post-rhinoplasty supratip fullness that creates a parrot-beak-like transition between dorsum and tip.

Devamını oku →

Saddle Nose Deformity

A structural nasal deformity in which dorsal collapse creates a saddle-shaped profile.

Devamını oku →

Crooked Nose

An aesthetic and functional nasal problem caused by deviation of the bony and cartilaginous nasal axis.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Hump

A profile contour problem caused by a bony or cartilaginous prominence on the nasal dorsum.

Devamını oku →

Wide Nose

A nose perceived as wide because of bony base, tip width or alar width relative to facial proportions.

Devamını oku →

Long Nose

A nose perceived as too long for facial proportions, often associated with a drooping tip.

Devamını oku →

Short Nose

A structural appearance issue in which the nose appears short or overly rotated for the face.

Devamını oku →

Alar Retraction

Upward displacement of the nostril rim that makes the nostril appear overly exposed.

Devamını oku →

Alar Collapse

Inward collapse of the nostril sidewall during inspiration, narrowing the external nasal valve.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Valve Insufficiency

Difficulty breathing caused by narrowing or support loss at the narrowest part of the nasal airway.

Devamını oku →

Internal Nasal Valve

The narrow passage between septum and upper lateral cartilage; a critical area for nasal airflow resistance.

Devamını oku →

External Nasal Valve

The valve region formed by the nostril entrance and alar cartilage support, which can collapse during breathing.

Devamını oku →

Dorsal Hump

A bony-cartilaginous prominence on the nasal dorsum visible on profile view and assessed carefully in rhinoplasty planning.

Devamını oku →

Lateral Osteotomy

A rhinoplasty step that repositions the lateral nasal bones through controlled bone cuts.

Devamını oku →

Medial Osteotomy

A controlled bone cut used to shape the medial portion of the nasal bones during precise rhinoplasty bone-vault correction.

Devamını oku →

Piezo Osteotomy

An osteotomy technique using ultrasonic energy for precise nasal bone cuts while aiming to protect surrounding soft tissue.

Devamını oku →

Nasal Tip Asymmetry

A difference in shape, height or support between the right and left sides of the nasal tip.

Devamını oku →

Drooping Nasal Tip

A nasal tip that sits low for facial proportions or drops noticeably during smiling.

Devamını oku →

Hanging Columella
