There is no such method like “Non-surgical Rhinoplasty”

From time to time we read such news in the media such as “Non-surgical Rhinoplasty”, “Laser Rhinoplasty”, “Micro Rhinoplasty” or “Mini Rhinoplasty”. None of these methods are discussed in the scientific arena. There is no scientific article published about them. In fact, it can be said that they are totally untrue.
Since the nose surgery is the most complex and sophisticated surgery performed in the human body it is not possible to give shape to the cartilage of the nasal bones or treat functional complaints with non surgical methods.

Nose surgery (rhinoplasty) is the surgery to reshape the nose. This surgery is performed accordfng to the proportion of the existing face structure by reducing or enlarging the nose size, thinning of the tip, increasing or decreasing the height of the nose-lip angle or changing the nose-forehead angle as well as correcting the breathing problems at the same surgery. All these interventions in one surgery makes it very complex and precise operation that cannot be compared to non-surgical interventons with laser or botox and such terms as micro or mini rhinoplasty do not meet the definition of the regualar rhinoplasty.

There are no such methods like Micro Rhinoplasty or Mini Rhinoplasty

Recently, some surgeons have often talk about and we encounter in the media: Micro or Mini Rhinoplasty… What is Micro or Mini Rhinoplasty? Is there really such method? Prof. Dr. Nazim CERKES being one of the world’s most important rhinoplasty authority who attends and lectures in world’s most prestigous congress’ on this subject states that such micro or mini rhinoplasty does not have a place in the medical literaure.
Dr. Nazim CERKES says:
“It must first be published in scientific journals to be considered as a scientific process. Otherwise, it has no meaning. Also mikro rhinoplasty means “little rhinoplasty” as a term. If you submit a scientific journal stating that you perform micro rhinoplasty they will find it ridiculous and will refuse you. People are using this term for marketing purposes and mislead the people.
Nose surgeries are operations that need to be performed very carefully and precise by using fine instruments and precise techniques. However, this is not an enough reason for naming the operations as mini or micro. I have never met any surgeon claiming they perfomr micro or mini rhinoplasty in a scientific meeting. I have not seen anythin in any scientific publications about this issue, either”

There is no method as “Laser Rhinoplasty”

In our country, some surgeons say that they perfom laser rhinoplasty. Such a method has never been discussed in any scientific meetings. Besides there is no scientific article published about it in any plastic surgery journals in this regard. Laser devices are successfully used in many surgeries and has brought great adventages over the old traditional methods. However, laser technology is not used in nasal surgery. Operations are performed by conventional methods. Naturally new methods are developed for more successful results, however laser devices are not used in nasal surgery today.

Usage of fillers in the Rhinoplasty

The cavitiy of the nasal tip, central or upper nose cannot be filled by any filler injection. They should filled by using cartilage supplied from the inner nose. In case it is not enough rib cartilage can be used for this purpose. Fillers cannot be used effectively as cartilage.

There is no Non-surgical Rhinoplasty with Botox

Lately the media has shown a lot of interest in such application claiming that the nose tip can be raised with botox injections without surgery. For raising the nose tip cartilage should be used with regular surgery. Botox injections cannot raise such volumed tissue such as the nose tip.
