Prof. Dr. Tevfik Sözen/Nose Aesthetics Q&A/WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SURGERY?

I am Tevfik Sözen, welcome to my video where I answer the questions you send. There are very nice questions. Some are directly to the point. Some are a bit broad in scope. And some are truly in the form of idea flights. We eliminated the idea flights. We will shoot a separate video for those. We are listening to you as well, but those will be slightly more cheerful videos. Most likely, we are starting with the ones that are to the point. Let’s begin. Is there anything that needs to be done before surgery? This is quite a broad question. Before surgery, blood tests and COVID-related tests are performed, and we also perform examinations for you: an endoscopic examination, a camera-based examination, and a visual examination. After that, there are the procedures for nasal design; we will have a separate video specifically for nasal design. Nasal design is showing the post-surgery appearance of your pre-operative photo on the computer.

Here, what is important in terms of communication should be emphasized. Lowering the nasal bridge, lifting the nasal tip, widening the nasal base should be discussed with you in the pre-operative period along with the reasons and rationales, and the best possible outcome should be shown to you before the surgery.
