A beautiful appearance is not enough, proper breathing is a must! 'Rhinoplasty also increases the quality of life'

Supports overall health

Prof. Dr. Esin Yalçınkaya, who stated that in addition to aesthetic expectations, breathing function should also be taken into consideration in rhinoplasty, said, “ Rhinoplasty is not only a shape change, but also an intervention that increases the quality of life. Healthy breathing, quality sleep and supporting the general health of patients are indispensable parts of this process.”

Many problems are treated

Prof. Dr. Yalçınkaya stated that within the scope of functional rhinoplasty, problems such as nasal deviation, nasal turbinate growth, chronic sinusitis, snoring and sleep apnea are also treated, and noted that this surgical approach, in which aesthetic corrections can be made at the same time, offers patients the opportunity to both breathe better and gain a natural appearance compatible with their facial features.

Natural look and healthy breath together

Prof. Dr. Yalçınkaya, who emphasized that individual planning should be made for each patient, touched upon the importance of a functional aesthetic approach being specific to the patient with the following words: “When planning rhinoplasty, facial structure, skin type, respiratory tract evaluation and general health status should be taken into consideration. Plans that offer a natural appearance and healthy breathing together meet the expectations of patients more satisfactorily in the long term.”

The foundation of a comfortable life

Prof. Dr. Yalçınkaya also emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and functional interventions, stating that not only aesthetics but also adenoid, sinusitis and other ear-nose-throat problems can be addressed within this scope. Prof. Dr. Yalçınkaya continued as follows: “A healthy nose is the basis of a comfortable life, beyond looking beautiful. Therefore, surgical interventions should not be limited to aesthetics alone; functional health should also be taken into consideration.”
