The plan

## The plan is drawn before the nose is touched.

Every nose is analysed before it is operated on: the profile, the tip, the width, the way the nose sits between the eyes and above the lip, and how air moves through it. Dr. Teker traces the plan with you on your photographs at the consultation, so you see what is aimed for before the operation.

1. The profile is traced The line from the brow to the lip is drawn on your photographs, as it is today.
2. Proportions are measured The bridge, the tip and the angles the nose makes with the forehead and the lip are measured against your own face.
3. The plan is drawn with you The line aimed for is drawn over yours, so you see what is planned before the operation. Breathing is checked in the same examination.

**nasion** The deepest point between the forehead and the nose, where the bridge begins.

**dorsum** The bridge, from the brow to the tip: a hump or a scooped line shows here first.

**tip** How far the tip stands out from the face, and whether it points up or down, changes the whole profile.

**nasolabial angle** The angle between the base of the nose and the upper lip: it reads as a lifted or a drooping tip.

A simplified drawing of a planning step: not a patient and not a result. In every surgical or interventional procedure, results may vary from person to person; a detailed opinion from your physician before the procedure is recommended.

- Measured against your face Proportions are measured against your own features, and the plan follows them.
- Breathing comes first The septum, the turbinates and the nasal valves are checked in every rhinoplasty and corrected in the same operation when needed.
- The same surgeon, start to finish Dr. Teker examines you, plans with you, operates and follows you up himself.

The process

## From your first message to your last check-up.

Dr. Teker carries out every step himself, from the consultation to the operation and the check-ups. This is the order.

1. Requesting an appointment Write on WhatsApp or call; the practice suggests a day and time that suit you. Medical details are discussed at the consultation, not by message.
2. Examination and endoscopy Dr. Teker examines your nose from every angle on the outside and assesses the septum, the turbinates and the nasal valves from the inside with a thin endoscope.
3. Planning Measurements are taken on your standardised photographs; what can change and what cannot is discussed openly, and you decide together on a written plan.
4. Surgery Performed by Dr. Teker in hospital, under general anaesthesia. You usually stay one night.
5. Check-ups The splint and tapes come off around day seven. Later check-ups follow the stages of healing; for questions in between you can call the practice.

Questions

## What patients ask first.

Short answers to common questions. If yours is not here, send a short question on WhatsApp, without medical details, or ask at the consultation.

[All questions](https://www.drcenkteker.com/en/faq/)

**How do I start?**

Write on WhatsApp or call; the practice suggests a day and time for a consultation. Your name and what you would like an appointment for are enough in the message. Medical details are discussed at the consultation.

**Open or closed rhinoplasty: which is better?**

Neither is better in every case. The closed technique, with incisions inside the nostrils, suits limited changes to the bridge. The open technique adds a short incision under the tip and gives more control when the tip is rebuilt or a previous operation is corrected. Dr. Teker chooses the technique by what your nose needs.

**Is rhinoplasty painful?**

After surgery you may feel pressure, a blocked nose and pain. Simple painkillers are usually enough for the first days. Throat operations such as tonsillectomy are more uncomfortable, for about ten days.

**What happens at the consultation?**

Dr. Teker examines your nose from every angle on standardised photographs and looks inside with a thin endoscope to check the septum, turbinates and valves. He explains what is realistic for your skin and cartilage and agrees a written plan with you. Allow about an hour.
