Rhinoplasty

Patients travel to Turkey for rhinoplasty from all over the world — including Europe, the United States, Central Asia, and the CIS region.

This surgery is recommended for those who:

• want to improve the aesthetic appearance of their nose;

• experience breathing difficulties, snoring, or sleep apnea;

• wish to refine or change the shape of their nose;

• require a revision rhinoplasty to correct results of a previous surgery.

Closed Rhinoplasty

How is it performed?
In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.

Advantages:

• No external scars

• Faster recovery

• No damage to the skin

However, closed rhinoplasty is not suitable for everyone. Since the surgeon has limited access, more complex corrections are often better achieved with an open technique.

Open Rhinoplasty

How is it performed?
Open rhinoplasty is the most commonly performed technique in Turkey. The surgeon makes a small incision on the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils). This approach provides full visibility and access, allowing the surgeon to perform even the most complex corrections with precision.

The cost of rhinoplasty in Turkey with experienced surgeons starts at 3,800 $. The final price depends on the complexity of the surgery, the scope of correction, and the chosen surgeon and clinic.

What’s included in the price:

• Initial consultation and required medical tests

• Rhinoplasty surgery and anesthesia

• Stay at the clinic during recovery

• Airport transfer and translator support

One of the most common questions patients ask is: “When will I be able to breathe normally? How long will the swelling last? When will I see the final result?”

Today, during rhinoplasty in Turkey, surgeons use modern silicone splints. These are small hollow tubes placed inside the nose, allowing air to pass through freely. They are flexible yet hold their shape, helping to protect the nose and making the recovery process much more comfortable. In some cases, temporary breathing difficulties may still occur, but usually for individual reasons.

Right after surgery, the surgeon will apply thin, lightweight splints. They do not interfere with breathing and look discreet.

The first few days after surgery, rest is recommended. Some patients may feel mild weakness or nausea, which is easier to manage while staying in the clinic and later in a comfortable hotel.

You’ll stay in Istanbul for about 7 days after your operation. During this time, a driver will take you to follow-up visits and dressing changes. On the final day, your splints will be removed—and you’ll be ready to fly home safely.

Swelling is expected after rhinoplasty, but it is usually minimal and bruising is rare. Keep in mind that recovery is a process:

• By the 3rd–4th month, about 70–80% of the final result will already be visible.

• The final shape of your nose will be revealed within 12 months, as swelling fully subsides.
