Rhinoplasty & Nasal Surgery
83 yayın terimiRhinoplasty
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
A profile and base-view concern in which the columella appears low relative to the nostril rims.
Devamını oku →Septal Perforation
A structural problem where a hole forms in the nasal septum between the two nasal cavities.
Devamını oku →Septal Hematoma
An urgent ENT condition caused by blood collecting between septal cartilage and mucosa.
