Rhinoplasty (Nose Aesthetics)

Located at the center of the face, the nose represents both the aesthetic balance of the external appearance and the vital function of breathing. With the modern rhinoplasty techniques we apply in our clinic, we not only beautify your reflection in the mirror but also construct a functional structure that allows you to breathe better. While aiming for natural results that integrate with the person's facial features and do not look "artificial," we also correct deviations in the bone and cartilage structure in the same session. We have detailed this most delicate area of aesthetic surgery for you with the medical technologies of 2026 and the expertise vision of our clinic.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical art performed to optimize both the form and functional capability of the nose. Although it is generally chosen for visual complaints such as a nasal hump, width, curvature, or drooping nasal tip, it also plays a vital role in relieving chronic breathing difficulties. Our main motto in the rhinoplasty process is to create a balanced and unique profile by remaining faithful to each patient's individual facial character.

Who Can Have Rhinoplasty?

Individuals who meet the following criteria and are physically and emotionally prepared for this change are candidates for rhinoplasty:

• Age Limit: People who have completed bone and cartilage development (usually 18 years and older).

• Aesthetic Concerns: Those who are dissatisfied with their current nose shape and desire a change.

• Realistic Expectations: Those who have a conscious and healthy perspective on the results of the surgery.

• General Health: Those who do not have any chronic illness that would prevent surgical intervention.

What are the Types of Nose Surgery?

What are the Types of Nose Surgery?

Closed Rhinoplasty:
The closed technique is a delicate method where all incisions are made from the inside of the nostrils. When viewed from the outside, no suture scars are visible. Although the surgeon's working area is narrower, it is frequently preferred, especially for minor corrections, due to less tissue damage and a faster healing process. It offers a great comfort advantage for our patients seeking a minimally invasive approach.

Open Rhinoplasty
The open technique is performed with a millimetric incision made in the thin strip of skin between the nostrils (the columella). This method provides the surgeon with a full view and control over the nasal anatomy. It is the most reliable way for us to achieve perfect results, especially in complex revisions, correction of serious asymmetries, and nasal tip shaping.

What are the types of Rhinoplasty?

Operations performed to achieve the face's golden ratio and create a characteristic profile are divided into different categories according to the nature of the existing nasal problem. The main methods applied are:

• Rhinoplasty for Shape Defects (Primary Rhinoplasty): This is the main aesthetic operation that patients generally apply for the first time, aiming to correct structural shape defects in the nose. If there is a hump disturbing the facial balance, this area is corrected, cartilages are proportioned, and the projection of the nose is brought to an ideal level.

• Complex (Revision) Aesthetics (Complex Rhinoplasty): This involves re-evaluating cases that have had previous nose surgery but did not achieve the desired result or later developed deformities. In this meticulous process, the nose is restructured both visually and functionally, allowing the person to achieve the healthy and aesthetic appearance they dream of.

• Nasal Tip Aesthetics (Tip Plasty): This is a procedure focused solely on the cartilage structure in the tip area, without touching the bony framework of the nose. It is a type of surgery with a quite comfortable healing process, performed to correct problems such as drooping tip, asymmetry, or width.

• Aesthetics for Breathing Problems (Septorhinoplasty): This is an intervention where beauty and health combine. While the external form of the nose is aesthetically shaped, internal curvatures and bone obstructions that make breathing difficult are also addressed. The goal is both an aesthetic profile and a clear airway.

• Concha Surgery (Turbinate Reduction): The "concha" (turbinate) structures inside the nose that humidify the air passages can grow due to environmental or genetic reasons, making breathing difficult. With this surgery, these swollen or enlarged turbinates are reduced, bringing oxygen flow to the healthiest level.

• Breathing Problem Surgery (Septoplasty): This is a procedure performed solely to remove functional obstructions inside the nose, such as polyps, turbinate hypertrophy, or septal deviation, without aiming for any aesthetic change. This operation directly increases the quality of life, focusing on enabling the person to breathe more easily and deeply.

• Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Known in the medical world as "Liquid Rhinoplasty," this is a practical approach that requires no surgical incision or general anesthesia. Minor shape defects, depressions, or drooping tips are corrected by injecting special filler materials into strategic points. Results are temporary; the filler material is safely absorbed by the body over time.

Additionally, the closed technique rhinoplasty, also referred to as "scarless aesthetics," leaves no external suture marks as all procedures are performed inside the nostrils. The surgeon decides which method is suitable after a detailed examination.

How is Nose Filler Done?

• In the first stage, the specialist physician analyzes whether the nose structure can achieve the desired form with filler injection.

• Photo records are taken (with the patient's consent) to clearly observe the difference before and after the procedure.

• To increase application comfort, an effective anesthetic cream is applied to the nose area.

• Approximately 15-20 minutes are waited for the cream to numb the area, then the application site is sterilized with antiseptic solutions.

• Subsequently, an appropriate amount of filler material is injected into the determined points to camouflage a hump, lift the nasal tip, or correct asymmetries.

• After the desired aesthetic appearance is achieved, the care instructions recommended by the doctor must be meticulously followed for the first 3 days.

How is Rhinoplasty Performed?

These operations, performed in a fully equipped hospital environment under general anesthesia, last an average of 1 to 3 hours. Our process includes the following steps:

• Consultation: A detailed meeting where your expectations are listened to and your facial analysis is performed.

• Planning: Digital or technical design of the form most suitable for your facial anatomy.

• Examinations: Health checks including blood tests and anesthesia approval.

• Application: Reshaping the cartilage and bone structure according to the chosen technique (open/closed).

• Stabilization: Application of modern splints and silicone tampons to protect the new form.

• Beginning of Recovery: First post-operative checks and discharge process

Rhinoplasty for Functional Problems

In our clinic, we see aesthetics as a whole with function. We design not just a "good-looking" nose, but also a nose that "breathes easily." In this combined process, which we call septorhinoplasty, we clear all internal structural problems that disrupt your sleep quality, cause snoring, and restrict your oxygen intake. We use special cartilage supports for a nose that maintains its form over the years, does not collapse, and does not lose its breathing performance.

What Should Be Considered Before and After Rhinoplasty?

Before Rhinoplasty Surgery

• Smoking and Alcohol: Should be stopped at least 2 weeks before as they slow down tissue healing.

• Medications: Blood thinners and herbal teas should be avoided.

• Nutrition: A protein and vitamin-focused program increases healing speed.

• Sun Protection: Intense sun exposure should be avoided to prepare the skin for surgery.

After Rhinoplasty

• After the operation, you will usually stay in the hospital as our guest for one night.

• Tampons are removed in 2-4 days, and splints are removed by our expert team after approximately one week.

• Direct sunlight and strenuous sports should be avoided for the first 3 months.

• The doctor's special instructions regarding eyeglass use and contact lens process must be followed.

• The final shape may take 3-6 months to settle, and complete healing may take up to 1 year.
