Rhinoplasty

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose for aesthetic or functional purposes. Whether you want to refine your nasal tip, reduce a dorsal hump, straighten a crooked nose, or improve breathing, rhinoplasty can address multiple concerns in a single surgery.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Turkey is famous for its ultrasonic rhinoplasty specialists. This advanced technique uses piezoelectric instruments for precise bone reshaping with less trauma, reduced bruising, and faster recovery.

⚠️ Insider Note: Request to see results on patients with similar nasal anatomy to yours. A surgeon's ability to achieve beautiful results across different nose types demonstrates true mastery of rhinoplasty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long until I see final rhinoplasty results?

While improvement is visible immediately after splint removal, final results emerge at 12 months as all swelling—especially at the tip—fully subsides.

Is rhinoplasty painful?

Most patients describe discomfort rather than severe pain. Congestion and pressure are common in the first week, but pain is well-controlled with prescribed medication.

Will my nose look natural?

With an experienced surgeon, absolutely. The goal is a nose that harmonizes with your unique features, not one that looks "done" or artificial.

When can I fly home after rhinoplasty?

Most patients can safely fly 7-10 days after surgery, once the splint is removed and initial healing is complete. Your surgeon will confirm you're cleared.

Can rhinoplasty fix my breathing problems?

Yes, functional rhinoplasty (septorhinoplasty) can correct a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, and other structural issues affecting breathing—often combined with cosmetic changes.

What if I don't like my results?

Revision rhinoplasty is possible after 12-18 months when swelling has fully resolved and tissues have stabilized. Choose your initial surgeon carefully to minimize this risk.

Will rhinoplasty leave visible scars?

Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible external scars. Open rhinoplasty leaves a tiny scar on the columella that typically fades to become nearly invisible within months.

How long do rhinoplasty results last?

Results are permanent and lifelong. The nose doesn't revert to its previous shape. Minor natural changes may occur with aging over decades, but the surgical improvements remain.
