By taking the photos, it is aimed to create a natural nose compatible with the face through a common shape with the photoshop image. At the same time, by examining the intranasal nose, the problems causing obstruction in the airways are detected and these areas are intervened with the same operation.
The image made with Photoshop may not always be exactly the same as the post-operative image. Because factors such as age, gender, thickness of the nasal skin, accompanying chronic diseases, and alcohol use are out of the evaluation of this animation program. The aim is to reveal the shape that the patient wants and the surgeon wants to make and talk about the changes that can be made.
