Open rhinoplasty in Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu — Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
About the clinic
Open rhinoplasty at Op. Dr. Gülsüm Barutcu — Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a detailed way to reshape the nose for natural, long-lasting results. The clinic is located in Bakırköy and works within fully accredited private hospitals that meet international safety standards. Patients benefit from a surgical plan tailored to their specific anatomy and a direct line of communication with the surgeon.
The Surgical Process
The procedure typically takes 3 to 4 hours under general anesthesia. A board-certified anesthesiologist monitors the patient throughout the surgery. Dr. Barutcu uses an open approach, where a small incision is made on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. This scar usually heals so well that it becomes invisible over time. The surgical method focuses on preservation when possible to keep the natural bridge of the nose intact. In other cases, the doctor uses structural techniques with cartilage grafts from the septum, ear, or rib to build a stable shape.
Safety and Preparation
Patient safety is a top priority at the accredited hospitals used by the clinic. Before surgery, every patient undergoes a full blood panel. Patients over the age of 50 also receive a cardiac workup to check heart health. The hospitals include intensive care support if needed, ensuring a high standard of medical care during the stay.
Recovery and Results
The recovery process involves several steps to help the nose heal correctly:
- Hospital Stay: Patients spend 1 night in the hospital for monitoring.
- Splints: An external splint and internal silicone splints stay in place for 7 days.
- Downtime: Most people can return to social activities after 10 to 14 days.
- Swelling: About 70% of the swelling goes away by the 3rd month.
- Final Outcome: While changes are visible early on, the final refined result appears at the 12-month mark.
Patient Support
International patients should plan to stay in Turkey for 7 to 10 days. The clinic provides a full service that includes VIP transfers and luxury hotel stays. A translator helps with communication throughout the medical journey. After returning home, patients have access to lifelong follow-up through WhatsApp to talk directly with the surgeon about any questions.

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.
