Primary Rhinoplasty
Top-rated Rhinoplasty in Istanbul. Aesthetic and functional nose job with natural results by expert surgeons in Turkey.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage of the nose, addressing appearance and breathing together. The open or closed technique is chosen to suit your anatomy; swelling settles over the first weeks and the final shape refines over months. The plan is individual and an in-person examination is required.
Procedure Overview
Primary rhinoplasty is the premier aesthetic procedure performed to reshape the nose, the central feature of the face, and establish facial harmony. In our clinic, our modern approach to rhinoplasty goes beyond simple reduction; we aim to improve breathing function while creating a natural, balanced nose that best suits your unique facial structure. Using advanced technologies like Piezo (ultrasonic) surgery, we sculpt nasal bones with millimeter precision without breaking them, ensuring minimal postoperative bruising and swelling. With expertise in both open and closed techniques, we refine the nasal tip, remove dorsal humps, and correct septal deviations in a single session. The result is a refined, natural-looking nose that integrates seamlessly with your face, leaving no tell-tale signs of surgery.
“In rhinoplasty my aim is a balanced result that fits your facial proportions while preserving breathing — I personalise the plan at examination for every patient.”

Risks & Candidacy
Possible risks
Like any surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks. Swelling and bruising in the first weeks are expected; less commonly, bleeding, infection, temporary changes in sensation or minor asymmetries during healing can occur. The final shape settles over months, and a small chance of later revision exists.
Who may not be a candidate
Generally suitable candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations and have completed nasal growth. Active infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, bleeding disorders, heavy smoking or unrealistic expectations may limit suitability. The final decision is made through facial analysis and an in-person examination.
