What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty—commonly called a nose job—reshapes the bony and cartilaginous framework of the nose to improve appearance and, when needed, function. Depending on your anatomy and goals, we may refine the nasal bridge, tip projection/rotation, width, nostrils, or correct internal deviations that reduce airflow. Our approach prioritizes structural support so your nose looks natural in motion, from all angles, and ages gracefully.
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may be a strong candidate if you:
are healthy, a non-smoker or willing to stop before/after surgery,
want to correct a dorsal hump, bulbous or droopy tip, width/asymmetry, or breathing issues,
have realistic expectations and understand swelling settles over months.
We also treat revision rhinoplasty patients who need correction after previous surgery. During your consultation we analyze facial proportions, skin thickness, and internal structures, and design a plan that fits your features.
Techniques: Open, Closed & Piezo (Ultrasonic)
We use both open and closed (endonasal) techniques.
Open rhinoplasty provides excellent visibility for complex deformities or revisions; a tiny columellar incision typically fades well.
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar and may suit patients needing moderate changes with faster recovery.
Piezo/ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses micro-vibrations to sculpt nasal bones with high precision while sparing soft tissues, which may reduce bruising in appropriately selected cases.
Your plan may also include septoplasty/turbinate work to improve airflow. If only the tip requires refinement, tipplasty can reshape tip cartilages and adjust rotation without altering the bridge.
Recovery & Aftercare: What to Expect
Most desk-based patients return to work in 7–10 days. Bruising typically fades in 7–10 days; early swelling improves over 2–4 weeks, while fine definition continues to refine for 3–6 months (thick skin may take longer).
General tips:
Sleep with head elevated for the first week.
Avoid heavy exercise for ~3 weeks; no glasses on the bridge until cleared.
Follow taping/splint and saline care as instructed.
Expect normal, temporary numbness/stiffness of the tip.
Our team provides structured check-ins (including virtual follow-ups for international patients) to keep healing on track.
Rhinoplasty Cost in Turkey & Packages for International Patients
Pricing depends on complexity (primary vs revision rhinoplasty), need for septoplasty or grafts (e.g., spreader or rib cartilage in rare cases), OR time, and hospital stay. We offer transparent quotes and international packages that can include airport transfers, translation support, and hotel coordination. Send photos (front, oblique, profile) for an initial assessment, and we’ll share a tailored estimate. Request a Personal Quote on WhatsApp

FAQs
How long does surgery take?
Typically 1.5–2 hours for primary cases; complex revision procedures can take longer.
Will there be scars?
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar; open rhinoplasty uses a tiny columellar incision that usually fades well.
When will I see the final result?
You’ll see meaningful changes once swelling subsides in the first month; tip refinement and micro-edema continue improving up to 3–6 months (sometimes longer with thick skin).
Can breathing be improved at the same time?
Yes. Septoplasty and turbinate reduction can be combined to address obstruction and improve airflow.
Is non-surgical rhinoplasty an alternative?
Fillers can camouflage small irregularities or lift the radix temporarily, but they do not replace surgical reshaping and carry filler-specific risks. We’ll advise if you’re suitable.
