Open rhinoplasty at Atlas University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a structured path for nose reshaping under international safety standards. The procedure is performed at a facility holding AACI accreditation and a Turkish government health tourism certificate.

Procedure and Specialist Care

Asst. Prof. Dr. İhtişam Zafer Cengiz leads the surgical process for open rhinoplasty patients. As a specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery, he focuses on both the appearance and function of the nose. The hospital supports these procedures through dedicated plastic surgery and ENT departments.

Recovery and Aftercare Timeline

The recovery process follows a specific schedule to help patients return to their routines quickly. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1 night after the surgery. The surgical team uses tunneled silicone nasal tampons. These special inserts allow you to breathe through your nose starting from the first day.

• Day 3: Medical staff removes the nasal tampons.
• Day 7: The surgical team removes the nasal splint.
• 1 Month: Around 80% of the initial swelling typically subsides.
