Rhinoplasty

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping, resizing, or correcting functional problems of the nose. It can improve facial harmony, enhance self-confidence, and correct breathing difficulties caused by structural issues.

Who are the best candidates for rhinoplasty in Turkey?

The ideal candidates are healthy individuals with fully developed noses, realistic expectations, and either cosmetic or functional concerns, such as nasal asymmetry, a dorsal hump, or difficulty breathing.

What is the minimum age for rhinoplasty in Turkey?

Females: Typically 16–17 years old, once nasal growth is mostly complete.

Males: Typically 17–18 years old.
Your surgeon will assess nasal growth and overall readiness before approving surgery.

How is rhinoplasty performed?

Rhinoplasty can be performed using general anesthesia, allowing the surgeon to work with precision. The procedure involves reshaping the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue of the nose to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional outcome.

Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures: Open vs. Closed

Closed Rhinoplasty: Incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. Recovery is usually faster, but visibility for the surgeon is limited.
Open Rhinoplasty: A small incision is made under the columella (the tissue between nostrils), providing better visibility and precision. A tiny scar is usually hidden and fades over time.

What are the advantages of cosmetic nose surgery in Turkey?

Turkey offers premium rhinoplasty services with highly experienced, board-certified surgeons, modern facilities, VIP airport transfers, luxury hotel accommodations, and personalized post-operative care. The combination of quality care, affordability, and concierge-level service makes Turkey a top destination for international patients.

What are the differences between female and male rhinoplasty surgery?

Female rhinoplasty: Focuses on creating a delicate, refined nasal contour with soft angles, smaller dorsal humps, and a slightly upturned nasal tip.

Male rhinoplasty: Focuses on maintaining a stronger, more masculine appearance with straighter bridges, less rotation of the tip, and proportionate facial balance.

In which cases is revision rhinoplasty necessary?

Revision rhinoplasty may be recommended if there is residual asymmetry, unsatisfactory aesthetic results, breathing problems, or complications from the initial surgery. Your surgeon will evaluate the best timing and approach for the revision.
