Open rhinoplasty in Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery
About the clinic
Open rhinoplasty at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır in Ankara, Turkey, offers a precise way to reshape the nose through a small incision on the columella. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking both aesthetic changes and improved breathing. Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır provides expert care based on his experience with complex surgeries, including face transplants.
The Open Rhinoplasty Method
In an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes a tiny cut on the strip of skin between the nostrils. This allows the doctor to lift the skin and see the entire nasal framework clearly. The technique is helpful for complex cases like fixing a deviated septum or correcting tip deformities. The surgery usually takes between 1 and 3 hours and happens under general anesthesia.
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır uses a method called profiloplasty. This means he analyzes the whole face to make sure the new nose matches your chin, forehead, and cheekbones. The goal is a natural look that fits your unique features. While open rhinoplasty leaves a small external scar, it usually fades and becomes nearly invisible over time.
Surgical Expertise and Care
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır leads the surgical team with a background in advanced reconstructive surgery. He performed the second face transplant in Turkey and conducted research at the Cleveland Clinic. As a member of the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery, he focuses on both the form and function of the nose. He has held the title of Professor since 2019.
Before the surgery, patients undergo blood tests and a detailed nasal evaluation. The medical team reviews your medications and asks you to stop smoking to help the healing process. Because this is an outpatient procedure, you can usually leave the clinic on the same day as the surgery.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery involves several stages to help the tissues heal correctly. A nasal splint is placed after surgery and stays on for about 1 week. Most bruising and swelling should go away within 2 to 3 weeks. To protect the results, you should follow these steps:
- Avoid wearing glasses for several weeks to prevent pressure on the bridge.
- Keep the nose safe from any accidental impacts or bumps.
- Stay out of direct sunlight as the skin heals.
- Use all medications as prescribed by the doctor.
While the initial healing is fast, the final shape of the nose continues to settle for 6 to 12 months. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your specific goals with the surgeon.

Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery: more details about the clinic
Surgical Expertise and Statistics
Prof. Dr. Serdar Nasır attained Professor status in 2019. He received Associate Professor status in 2011. His career includes research on composite tissue transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic. This experience shapes his work in face and limb reconstruction.
The practice reports high success rates for microvascular free tissue transfers. These complex procedures maintain a success rate of 95% or higher. Dr. Nasır also performed notable face transplant work in Turkey. This background supports both aesthetic and functional patient goals.
Plastic and Reconstructive Specialties
The clinic provides a variety of aesthetic and restorative surgeries:
- Rhinoplasty – addresses both aesthetic shape and functional breathing.
- Facial Rejuvenation – includes facelifts, blepharoplasty, and chin aesthetics.
- Body Contouring – offers lipoabdominoplasty, combining tummy tucks with liposuction.
- Gynecomastia Surgery – uses VASER or laser-assisted liposuction for male breast enlargement.
Specialists use the Simon Classification to stage gynecomastia. This helps determine whether surgical excision or liposuction is needed. Tummy tuck options are personalized based on patient needs. These range from mini-abdominoplasty to extended techniques.
Reconstructive and Hand Surgery
Reconstructive care focuses on tissue loss from trauma, burns, and tumors. The clinic uses a "reconstructive elevator" approach. This method matches surgical options to specific patient needs. Surgeons perform microvascular free tissue transfers for complex defects.
Hand surgery addresses conditions involving nerves, tendons, and bones. Surgeons treat acute fractures and nerve lacerations. They also perform toe-to-hand finger transfers to restore movement and sensation.
Gender-affirming pathways are available for transfeminine and transmasculine patients:
- Phalloplasty – uses the gold-standard Radial Forearm Free Flap (RFFF) technique.
- Metoidioplasty – creates functional structures using natural anatomical tissues.
- Facial Feminization (FFS) – involves planning across multiple facial regions.
- Chest Masculinization – includes mastectomy and chest contouring.
Specialists emphasize medical safety during these transitions. Patients must pause hormone therapy before surgery to reduce blood clot risks. Nurses monitor tissue color and temperature every hour after flap transfers.
Technology and Diagnostic Capabilities
The clinic uses several diagnostic tools to plan surgeries. Electromyography (EMG) measures nerve conduction velocity for hand injuries. MRI and CT scans help map tissue structures. For gynecomastia, breast ultrasound or mammograms confirm tissue health.
Treatment technologies include modern energy-based systems. Surgeons use VASER, laser-assisted, and power-assisted liposuction. They also apply radiofrequency tools and ultrasonic-wave devices. These technologies liquefy fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Complex wounds are managed with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (VAC). This system reduces edema and increases blood flow to support healing. All microsurgery is performed under operating microscopes.
International Patient Services
The clinic treats international patients with a health-tourism-oriented approach. Staff provide medical guidance in English and German. This means clear communication throughout long rehabilitation periods. Postoperative care includes detailed dressing and medication instructions.
Rehabilitation accounts for 50% of total treatment success. The clinic coordinates with therapists for customized splints and physiotherapy. Early mobilization is encouraged to prevent joint stiffness. Surgeons also provide sensory re-education programs for nerve repair patients.
