In addition to all ENT (nose surgeries) and head and neck surgery operations I have developed myself by participating in many local and foreign congresses and seminars on nose and related diseases, which are among my special interests.

I deal with all types of nose surgery, of any complexity, both aesthetic and functional. Such as Rhinoplasty, Septorhinoplasty, Revision (secondary) rhinoplasty, Asian and African type nose rhinoplasty, rhinoplasty with using costal (rib cartilage) or ear cartilage grafts.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of rhinoplasty are offered in Istanbul, Turkey?

    In Istanbul, rhinoplasty, or nose jobs, can be performed for primary (first-time) rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, and functional rhinoplasty (septorhinoplasty and septoplasty).

    What is rhinoplasty reduction surgery and when is it recommended?

    A reduction nose surgery removes excessive bone or cartilage to have a smaller nose or remove the dorsal hump. It helps with the bulbous nose and overly wide tip.

    How does augmentation rhinoplasty differ from reduction rhinoplasty?

    The augmentation rhinoplasty uses cartilage grafts to make the nose appear larger. Reduction rhinoplasty involves the removal of tissue to shrink it.

    Can rhinoplasty in Turkey improve both appearance and breathing function?

    Otolaryngologists (ENT specialists) treat breathing issues, such as a deviated septum, polyp removal, and turbinate reduction, and perform cosmetic nasal surgery in one anesthesia session.

    What are the common goals patients have when choosing rhinoplasty in Istanbul?

    The goals may vary from person to person. In most cases, the goal of rhinoplasty is to achieve more perfect facial proportions by enhancing the beauty of the nose. The main reasons that cause dissatisfaction with the shape of the nose are asymmetry, injuries, shape or size of the nose, drooping of the nasal tip, width of the nasal bone, and having a hump on the bridge of the nose. In choosing a country, patients who prefer Turkey always want to achieve the best balance of price, quality of service, and results.

    How do surgeons tailor rhinoplasty to different ethnic nose shapes?

    Depending on ethnicity, the surgeon may examine the hardness of the cartilage, the thickness of the skin, and the shape of the nose. Then he or she may decide whether or not to use grafts and what type of cartilage would be best used to harvest it.

    Is there a difference between rhinoplasty techniques for men and women?

    Yes, there are several technical and aesthetic differences between rhinoplasty techniques used on men and women. In men, during nose jobs, it is important to maintain a straight nose with moderate definition, without too much excision, create good projectıon on tip of the nose, and a nasolabial angle of about ∠90° to emphasize masculine facial features. In women, during rhinoplasty, it may involve reduction of the bridge, softening of the contour, slight elevation of the tip, and a nasolabial angle of about ∠100-110°.

    What should I expect during the initial consultation in Istanbul?

    The physician will check you up, discuss what you desire and any breathing concerns, show you computer images of potential outcomes, and create a tailored plan.

    What types of anesthesia are used for rhinoplasty in Turkey?

    Every nose job in Turkey involves general anesthesia to make you safe and comfortable throughout the surgery.

    How long does the rhinoplasty procedure usually take?

    The average duration is 2 to 4 hours, but it may take much more time when the surgeon must remove cartilage from your ribs.

    What is the typical recovery timeline after rhinoplasty in Istanbul?

    A splint stays on 7 to 10 days. The swelling goes down after a few weeks, yet the nose continues to heal and form within 12-18 months.

    How much does rhinoplasty in Turkey cost in 2026?

    Primary operations start from €3500 and €4500 for revisions.

    What does a rhinoplasty price usually include?

    The cost of a Rhinoplasty procedure usually covers the cost of the surgeon work, pre-surgical evaluation, cost of the hospital, blood test, anesthesia, post-surgical medical care, routine post-surgical checkups, and insurance for complications. The cost may also cover prescribed medication and materials (nostril retainer, bandage ect.).

    How should I prepare for a rhinoplasty procedure in Istanbul?

    You should stop smoking, refrain from taking blood thinners, stop taking supplements, make your bookings, and check the plan of the surgery and the program in Istanbul. For the rest of the information, please contact your surgeon.

    What travel and accommodation arrangements should I consider when coming to Turkey for rhinoplasty?

    Patients planning to have a Rhinoplasty procedure in Turkey should plan to arrive in Istanbul for a period of 7 to 10 days to enable them to rest during the period of recovery. It’s advisable to choose a hotel that’s near the surgeon's clinic, as Istanbul is a big city, and moving to the clinic can be tiresome for a patient in the early stages of recovery. It’s better to choose a hotel in the city center, as it’s a secure area for tourists. Patients can choose their own hotel, and there are many transportation services that can be hired. It makes sense to consider the package of services offered by the clinic.
