Of course, the main and unquestioning indication for rhinoplasty will be partial or complete loss of the nose, damage or displacement of the nasal septum, other mechanical or congenital defects that make it difficult to breathe properly. Patients in this category are entitled to a free operation under the CHI policy. The restoration of respiratory function will be handled by domestic maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologists.

In all other cases, when the respiratory functions are not impaired, but the patient does not want to put up with the shape of the nose given to him from birth, it is worth looking at the proposals of Turkish plastic surgeons.

• Firstly, Turkey is one of the world centers of medical tourism. The Government invests up to 10% of GDP annually in the development of this sector of the economy.
• Secondly, Turkey is among the top ten countries in terms of the qualifications of doctors and nursing staff.
• Thirdly, analysts state the ideal ratio for the patient between the cost of medical services and their quality.
• Fourth, Turkey is a recognized balneological resort. Mineral, thermal and mud sanatoriums are the best place for patients in the recovery period.

Private clinics are a reflection of state policy and Turkey has managed to put plastic surgery on stream. Implantology, liposuction, surgical correction of facial and body shapes are the most frequent goals of medical tourists. And among them, the first place, of course, is occupied by rhinoplasty, which will help to correct:

• the hump on the back of the nose (the most frequent request);
• thickening of the bridge of the nose;
• sinking, sagging of the back of the nose (saddle-shaped);
• lateral curvature;
• wrong proportions;
• the shape and thickness of the nostrils and wings of the nose (the so-called ethnic nose);
• the length and shape of the tip of the nose.

Determine what exactly you don`t like, what you are not ready to put up with further and start collecting the necessary information. These can be:

• photos of models or celebrities who have undergone a rhinoplasty procedure and achieved an ideal nose shape;
• opinions of doctors and patients regarding rhinoplasty;
• reviews of clinics and private plastic surgeons;
• stories of patients who have undergone surgery.

Important in the success of rhinoplasty is the presence of contact between the doctor and the patient. Most often, these two subjects of plastic surgery find each other by recommendation. However, if there were no acquaintances in your circle who had undergone surgery to correct the shape of the nose, then you will have to become a pioneer and look for a doctor based on the results of his work published on the Internet.

Preliminary communication with a specialist will take place in correspondence format, so you need to stock up on photos of your nose: profile, full-face, close-up, general, three-quarters. Take pictures of yourself in different lighting conditions, with and without makeup. Use graphic programs when processing images, where you mark in red what exactly you want to remove or add.

You can also use computer modeling, for example, the Face Warp Plastic Surgery program (Imitation of plastic surgery Lite). In a three-dimensional image, it is easy to imagine how you will look with a new nose. Talk to your doctor about everything down to the smallest detail, from the eyebrows to the tip, how it will be: thin, pointed down or perky upturned. Remember the old Russian proverb: "Measure seven times, cut once!".

Important! Make sure that the surgeon understands what you want from him.

After full contact with the doctor is established, and you both understand in detail what you want to have at the end, stop reading horror stories from forums. Take it for the truth: an unsuccessful operation is the result of insufficient preparation. It doesn`t concern you.

Before the appointment of the date and departure to the place of operation, you will be asked to provide:

• general blood analysis and biochemistry;
• the Rh factor indicator;
• the result for HIV and RW;
• fluorography;
• extracts from the medical record of congenital and past diseases;
• computed tomography of the nose and paranasal sinuses.

This information is necessary for the preparation of a doctor and an extended consultation. After the final decision is made, the date of the operation is set. A self-respecting clinic does all the necessary in-depth analyses on its own a couple of days before surgery. Don`t forget to take these costs into account when planning your budget.

On a note! In light of recent events, flying to the place of treatment, you will need to capture the results of the SARS-CoV-2 test. No one has canceled them yet.

Next, you should take care of yourself. At least three weeks before the operation:

• give up alcohol and smoking;
• do not take blood thinning medications;
• exclude biologically active additives (dietary supplements) from the diet;
• postpone beauty injections and other cosmetic procedures;
• women need to stop taking birth control medications.

If you wear glasses, then take care of contact lenses in advance. You will not be able to wear glasses for several weeks after the operation. Buy clothes with a front closure, dressing over your head can be a problem for a while.

Of course, rhinoplasty, like any other medical intervention, has contraindications.

• Age. A plastic surgeon will not undertake the correction of the nose if the patient has not yet turned 18. The formation of the skull bones is not finished yet. Rhinoplasty is not recommended even after 50 years. As a rule, in such patients, the rate of healing and tissue regeneration decreases, which can lead to unexpected complications. In cases of urgent need, of course, an exception will be made.
• Diseases of the cardiovascular system, for example, ischemia, hypertension, etc.
• Oncology has been diagnosed.
• Severe forms of diabetes mellitus.
• Severe liver and kidney damage.
• Non-coagulability of blood.
• Inflammatory elements in the area of surgery: follicles, acne, etc
• Acute respiratory infections.
• Diagnosed mental illnesses.

The latter is especially important. Sometimes an insistent desire to change appearance is a sign of a severe mental disorder - dysmorphomania.
