Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a “nose job,” is a common cosmetic and functional surgical procedure. While most patients are aware of the importance of internal healing, protecting the nose from external trauma during the recovery phase is equally vital. This is where the carbon fiber nose protection mask comes into play — a modern innovation in postoperative care.

Mucus Hypersecretion and Allergic Rhinitis May Be Protective in Patients with ENS (Empty Nose Syndrome)

Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a serious clinical condition that develops after excessive surgical removal or reduction of nasal tissue. It manifests as abnormal expansion of the nasal air passages and symptoms such as paradoxical nasal obstruction, air hunger, burning, and dryness. Patients with ENS often report that their noses are "open," but experience a feeling of breathlessness and insufficient nasal airflow. This condition is associated with the disruption of the complex balance in nasal physiology associated with accelerated and altered nasal airflow resulting from anatomical changes. Changes in the nasal mucosa over time due to the rapid airflow are common in patients with ENS. Furthermore, conditions such as mucus hypersecretion and allergic rhinitis may be protective in patients with ENS. In patients with ENS, nasal secretions become increasingly dry and sticky. In patients with increased nasal secretions, such as those with allergic rhinitis, the nasal mucosa is naturally moist, protecting it from damage associated with rapid air exposure.

The Protective Effect of Mucus Hypersecretion
Mucus is one of the nasal mucosa's most important defensive barriers. It protects the airways from foreign particles, microorganisms, and environmental irritants while also serving a moisturizing function. Because the surface area of the nasal mucosa in ENS is reduced, mucus production generally decreases, creating dryness, irritation, and vulnerability to infection.

However, excessive mucus production, or mucus hypersecretion, has been observed in some ENS patients. This can improve patient comfort by reducing the feeling of dryness. It can also contribute to the regeneration of the mucosal barrier, thereby balancing the intranasal defense system to some extent. This makes mucus hypersecretion a potentially compensatory mechanism.

Positive Aspects of Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is an immune-related condition that often presents with symptoms such as nasal congestion, rhinorrhea (runny nose), sneezing, and itching. Because the nasal cavity is abnormally enlarged in patients with ENS, the nasal congestion of allergic rhinitis may not be evident. Increased nasal discharge, itching, and sneezing may be more pronounced. While these symptoms are generally considered negative for patients with ENS, allergic rhinitis may also have protective effects in some ways, such as:

Increases mucus production: Allergic rhinitis keeps the inside of the nose moist by increasing the activity of the mucous glands.

Promotes mucosal regeneration: The immune response can stimulate the regeneration of mucosal cells.

Stimulates nerve endings: Nerve endings activated during allergic processes can stimulate the perception of nasal airflow, which is lost in the ENS, to some extent.

Therefore, in some patients with ENS, mild allergic symptoms may contribute to a more tolerable symptomatic course of the disease. In the patient in the video, despite having both inferior turbinates (inferior conchae) almost completely removed, the nasal mucosa is mostly moist and healthy, pink in color.

In light of these observations, supporting mucus production or managing allergic rhinitis in a controlled manner may be considered a therapeutic approach in the treatment of patients with ENS.

Future studies will more clearly elucidate the effects of these pathophysiological conditions on the ENS, enabling more holistic management of the disease.

While mucus hypersecretion and allergic rhinitis are generally viewed as negative conditions, they can play a protective and compensatory role in complex cases such as empty nose syndrome. These physiological adaptations can provide an important support mechanism in alleviating the destructive symptoms caused by ENS.

Septum Perforation 3x2 cm Repair - Before and After



Our patient, who had previously undergone rhinoplasty and turbinate radiofrequency surgery at a different clinic, presented to our clinic with a large septum perforation (nasal septum hole) measuring 3x2 cm. During the endoscopic examination, it was observed that the perforation severely disrupted nasal airflow. Due to the nearly complete excision of the right inferior turbinate, the patient also exhibited symptoms of empty nose syndrome (ENS), particularly in the left nasal cavity. The patient also had left nasal valve collapse, and nasal valve surgery was performed in that area.

The patient underwent open septum perforation repair using a temporalis fascia and cartilage graft. Postoperatively, internal silicone splints were placed inside the nose and maintained for three months to promote mucosal healing.

During the follow-up examination, an endoscopic examination performed during the removal of the silicone splints revealed complete closure of the septum perforation. This video combines the patient's preoperative endoscopic images with a video of her recovery three months postoperatively.

The closure of the septum perforation normalized nasal airflow and significantly improved the symptoms of empty nose syndrome.

🩺 Nasal Fracture (Broken Nose) – What You Should Know

https://www.ent-istanbul.com/2018/04/nasal-fracture-broken-nose.html



A nasal fracture is a break or crack in the nasal bones—most commonly caused by trauma such as sports injuries, falls, vehicle accidents, or physical assaults. As the most frequently fractured facial bone, it often leads to pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, and sometimes difficulty breathing or a visible deformity.

Diagnosis typically starts with a physical exam (noting tenderness, crepitation, deformity) and may involve X-rays or CT scans in complex cases. Treatment depends on whether the fracture is displaced. Non-displaced fractures heal naturally, while displaced ones often require a closed reduction—ideally within the first 3–5 days, before swelling makes correction more difficult.

Proper aftercare—such as cold compresses, head elevation, avoiding nasal trauma and nose protection devices improve outcomes and minimize complications.

https://www.ent-istanbul.com/2018/04/rhinoplasty-istanbul.html

In this short video, we present the side profile results of a natural male rhinoplasty performed on a male patient with an overprojected and upturned nasal tip and a prominent dorsal hump (arched nose). The surgical goal was to create a more balanced, masculine, and natural-looking nasal profile without feminizing the face.

The patient's nasal tip projection and rotation were carefully reduced, and the dorsal hump was smoothed while preserving strong nasal lines to maintain a natural male appearance. The result is a refined, proportionate nose that harmonizes with the rest of the facial features.

This type of rhinoplasty requires precise planning and technique to ensure that the nose remains strong and defined, avoiding an "overdone" or artificial look.

🔍 Watch the transformation unfold from before to after, showcasing how male rhinoplasty can improve profile aesthetics while keeping the nose natural and masculine.

5-Minute Nose Job with Filler: Quick, Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping

https://www.ent-istanbul.com/2019/06/5-minutes-nose-job-with-filler-in-istanbul.html
https://www.ent-istanbul.com/2018/04/cost-of-non-surgical-nose-job-in-istanbul.html



In today’s fast-paced world, not everyone has the time—or the desire—for traditional surgery. That’s where the 5-minute nose job comes into play. Also known as a non-surgical rhinoplasty or liquid nose job, this innovative procedure uses dermal fillers to reshape the nose in mere minutes—without scalpels, sutures, or downtime.

What Is a 5-Minute Nose Job?
A 5-minute nose job is a cosmetic procedure where hyaluronic acid-based fillers are strategically injected into specific areas of the nose. The goal is to smooth out bumps, lift the nasal tip, or straighten the profile—creating a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.

Who Is It For?
This treatment is ideal for patients who:

Want to correct a dorsal hump (nasal bump)

Have minor asymmetries

Wish to lift the nasal tip

Are considering rhinoplasty and want a preview of the potential results

Prefer a non-permanent, reversible option

It’s important to note that this is best for patients seeking refinements, not those requiring structural correction or size reduction.

Advantages of the 5-Minute Nose Job
Instant results with no downtime

Minimally invasive—no incisions or general anesthesia

Quick procedure: typically takes 5–15 minutes

Reversible: hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved

Affordable compared to surgical rhinoplasty

While convenient, non-surgical rhinoplasty is temporary, with results lasting around 6–12 months. Also, because the nasal area contains critical blood vessels, the procedure should only be performed by experienced and qualified professionals to avoid rare but serious complications like vascular occlusion.

The 5-minute nose job offers a compelling alternative for those looking to make subtle yet effective nasal changes without going under the knife. Whether you're testing out a new look or avoiding surgery altogether, this treatment delivers impressive transformations in record time.
