TARIK ŞAPÇI
I graduated from Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine in 1989. I completed my residency in Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at PTT Training and Research Hospital. I became an Associate Professor in 2000 and was appointed as a Professor at Istanbul Bilim University in 2008. I am currently working as an independent physician in my private practice.
Sessions
In this round table, a heavy discussion between structure and preservation rhinoplasty techniques will happen.
The purpose of this proposal is to introduce and advocate for the adoption of 3D simulation and digital surgical planning tools in rhinoplasty procedures. By integrating advanced imaging and modeling technologies into preoperative planning and patient consultations, we aim to improve surgical precision, optimize aesthetic and functional outcomes, and enhance patient communication and satisfaction.
Traditional rhinoplasty planning relies heavily on two-dimensional photography, manual assessments, and surgeon experience. While effective, this approach limits the ability to visualize the nose in three dimensions, potentially affecting the accuracy of surgical predictions and patient understanding.
Advancements in 3D imaging and simulation now allow surgeons to:
Visualize nasal anatomy from all angles.
Simulate surgical outcomes with high precision.
Identify anatomical asymmetries or structural issues more accurately.
Communicate realistic expectations to patients.
Incorporating 3D planning aligns with the trend toward personalized, data-driven aesthetic surgery, offering measurable improvements in both surgical workflow and patient care.
Implement 3D simulation software for rhinoplasty consultations and planning.
Enhance patient education and informed consent through interactive visual tools.
Improve surgical accuracy with detailed preoperative modeling.
Track and compare preoperative simulations with postoperative outcomes for quality assurance.
In this course the participants will learn the fundamentals and advanced techniques of profile alignment.
Tipplasty is one of the most critical stages of rhinoplasty, and significant advancements have been made in tipplasty techniques in recent years. In this video, I aim to demonstrate the most up to date grafting and suturing techniques I use during tipplasty and highlight how they contribute to achieving a refined and aesthetically pleasing nasal tip.
