A nose job, or rhinoplasty, reshapes the nose for appearance, for breathing, or both. The hospitals on our site list several approaches: open and closed rhinoplasty, tip rhinoplasty, nasal hump removal, wide nose rhinoplasty, alarplasty to reduce flared nostrils, osteotomy rhinoplasty to reposition the nasal bones, ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty, ethnic and Asian rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty after an earlier operation, and non-surgical or liquid rhinoplasty with fillers.
These are not separate products so much as different techniques and goals. In open rhinoplasty a small cut across the columella, the strip of skin between the nostrils, lets the surgeon lift the skin and see the structure. In closed rhinoplasty all cuts are inside the nostrils, with no visible scar. Ultrasonic tools shape bone with vibration instead of a chisel. Which method suits you depends on what needs to change.
People consider rhinoplasty for a hump, a wide or drooping tip, an asymmetry, wide nostrils or a nose that is out of balance with the face. It can also be done to improve breathing, for example with a deviated septum, which may be combined with the cosmetic work. Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses filler to smooth small irregularities and lasts for a limited time, so it is a temporary option and cannot make a nose smaller.
When you compare options, ask what your surgeon would change and why, whether open or closed access is planned, whether cartilage is taken from the septum or elsewhere, and how realistic the planned shape is for your skin and bone. Simulation images are only an illustration, not a promise. Revision rhinoplasty is usually more complex than a first operation because of scar tissue and less available cartilage, so ask how often the surgeon performs it and wait until swelling from the earlier operation has settled.
Rhinoplasty is usually done under general anaesthesia and takes a few hours. You may go home the same day or after a night in hospital. A splint on the nose and sometimes soft packing or small tubes are used for about a week, and many surgeons advise staying in Turkey for about a week so that the splint can be removed and the first check carried out.
Bruising and swelling around the eyes and nose are common in the first one to two weeks, and you will need to avoid blowing your nose, contact sports and anything that could knock the nose. Final swelling can take many months to settle, and the nose continues to change during that time. Follow your surgeon's written instructions on sleeping position, sun protection, glasses and when to fly.
The price depends on the extent of the surgery, whether it is a first operation or a revision, the surgeon's experience, the use of cartilage grafts, the length of stay and the anaesthesia. Tests and a private room may be listed separately. Non-surgical rhinoplasty costs less but needs repeating. Compare quotes only when they name the same operation and list the same inclusions. You can request a free quote without obligation, and the hospital gives the full price in writing after seeing your photographs.
A written plan and your conversation should cover these points:
The hospitals on our site are licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health. You can see related operations on our plastic and aesthetic surgery in Turkey page.
Send us clear photographs of your nose from the front, both sides and below, along with a short description of what you would like to change and any earlier nose surgery or breathing problems. A surgeon at a licensed hospital reviews them and prepares a written plan with the surgeon's name, the proposed technique, the length of stay and the full price. Requesting a free quote costs nothing and does not oblige you to travel.
If you decide to go ahead, a coordinator helps with appointments, transfers and questions before, during and after your stay. You pay the hospital directly according to the written quote.
Open rhinoplasty adds a small cut on the skin between the nostrils so the surgeon can see the structure; closed rhinoplasty uses only cuts inside the nostrils. The choice depends on how much needs to change.
It is a further operation to correct or improve the result of an earlier rhinoplasty. It is usually more complex because of scar tissue and limited cartilage, so ask how often the surgeon performs it.
Many surgeons advise about a week so that the splint can be removed and the first check carried out. Your surgeon decides when it is safe to fly home.
Most bruising and swelling settle in the first one to two weeks, but final swelling can take many months. The shape continues to refine during that time.
Ultrasonic or piezo rhinoplasty uses vibrating instruments to shape the nasal bones instead of a chisel. Surgeons use it for precise bone work, and your surgeon can explain whether it suits your nose.
No. Filler gives a temporary result that fades over time and needs repeating. It can smooth small irregularities but cannot make a nose smaller.
Send clear photographs from the front, both sides and from below, with natural light and no make-up if possible, plus a note of earlier nose surgery or breathing problems.
