Closed rhinoplasty in Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu — Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
About the clinic
Closed rhinoplasty at Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, offers a way to reshape the nose without visible external scars. This procedure is performed by Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu, an expert surgeon who has completed 2,000+ operations and holds membership in ISAPS. The clinic provides a full care package for international patients that includes luxury accommodation and VIP transfers.
The Surgical Approach
Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu specializes in natural-looking results that respect each patient's ethnic features. The clinic primarily uses the closed rhinoplasty method, where all incisions are made inside the nostrils. This technique avoids external scarring on the skin. For complex cases, Dr. Barutcu may use structural rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts or preservation rhinoplasty to keep the nasal bridge intact. A board-certified anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia during the surgery to maintain patient safety.
Recovery and Results
Patients stay in a fully accredited private hospital for 1 night after the surgery. The medical team provides internal silicone splints and 24/7 nursing care during this time. A total stay of 7–10 days in Istanbul is recommended for the best recovery. The nasal splint is usually removed on the seventh day. Most patients return to social activities within 10–14 days. While 70% of the swelling resolves by the third month, the final refined shape of the nose appears around 12 months after the procedure.

- Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (TPRECD)
Patient safety follows strict hospital-level protocols. Board-certified anesthesiologists perform all sedation, and every procedure uses sterile, single-use surgical kits. The facility provides 24/7 nursing care with dedicated ICU support on standby.
### Specialized Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeryThe clinic focuses on high-precision body contouring and facial rejuvenation. Every surgical plan matches the patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals. Dr. Barutcu publishes research in international journals and lectures at ISAPS congresses.Body Contouring and Mommy Makeover
The clinic performs complex body surgeries, including Mommy Makeover combinations. These procedures typically pair abdominoplasty with breast surgery and liposuction in a single session. Combined treatments are planned to last no longer than 7 hours for safety.
- VASER Liposuction: Ultrasound emulsifies fat for precise muscle sculpting.
- Abdominoplasty: Full muscle repair treats diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles).
- BBL: Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat transfer for natural volume enhancement.
- Post-Bariatric Surgery: Lower body lifts and arm lifts after significant weight loss.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
Facial procedures reposition tissue layers rather than just stretching skin. The clinic offers the Deep Plane Facelift, which lifts the SMAS layer and ligaments as a single unit. This creates a natural look by returning facial volume to its original position.
Rhinoplasty services cover both primary and complex revision cases. The team also performs buccal fat removal and jawline enhancement. Most facial surgeries require a one-night hospital stay for monitoring.
### Advanced Medical TechnologyThe clinic uses **VASER technology** for all advanced liposuction procedures. This ultrasound-based system targets fat cells while sparing blood vessels and nerves. The result is less bruising and smoother recovery than traditional liposuction. Before surgery, all patients complete a standard pre-operative panel. This includes metabolic tests, coagulation studies, and ECGs for those over 50.### Services for International PatientsThe clinic serves many patients from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Gulf region. The international team coordinates the entire medical journey, including hospital admission and local logistics.Support services for international visitors include:
