- Reviews and “before-after” photos. Only patients' testimonials and photos on the independent sources like Bookimed can truly show the result of nose job doctor and clinic work in Turkey.
- Safety and sterilization. Ensure that the aesthetic surgery clinic has proper safety protocols and follows strict sterilization guidelines. The nose job clinic in Turkey should have a sterile operating room and all equipment should be properly sterilized to minimize the risk of infection.
- Nose Job Cost. Research the nose job costs involved in the aesthetic surgery procedure and compare them with other clinics. You can compare rhinoplasty in Turkey prices on this page. Keep in mind that the cheapest option may not always be the best choice. Look for a clinic that offers transparent pricing and provides a detailed breakdown of all costs.
- Packages. Many Turkish clinics specializing in rhinoplasty offer packages that include, except for nasal surgery, transfer, accommodation in a hotel, and interpreter’s services at one price. You can find these deals on the Bookimed website. Typically these offers cost the same as to do a nose job surgery separately.

- Improved appearance. Cosmetic rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of the nose, making it more proportional to the face and enhancing overall facial harmony. This can boost self-confidence and improve self-esteem.
- Correction of functional problems. Rhinoplasty can correct functional problems such as breathing difficulties, deviated nasal septum, and sinus issues.
- Correction of birth defects. Rhinoplasty can correct birth defects such as a cleft palate or a deviated septum, improving overall facial symmetry.
- Improved sleep. Correcting breathing problems with rhinoplasty can improve sleep quality and reduce snoring.
- Improved athletic performance. Rhinoplasty can improve breathing, increasing oxygen intake during exercise, which can enhance athletic performance.
- Affordable rhinoplasty cost in Turkey. Rhinoplasty costs in Turkey are 2-4 times lower than in the USA, Great Britain or some other countries. The same time the quality and service level is excellent. So, many people can afford nose aesthetics.
Nose Job Cons:
- Pain and discomfort. Rhinoplasty can cause pain and discomfort, which can last for several days after the procedure.
- Swelling and bruising. Swelling and bruising are common after rhinoplasty, and can take several weeks to fully resolve.
- Complications. As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, or adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Revision surgery. Sometimes the desired outcome is not achieved with a single procedure and revision surgery may be necessary, which carries additional risks and costs.
- Dissatisfaction with results. While rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of the nose, it's important to have realistic expectations and understand that the results may not be perfect.
Who Are the Best Candidates for a Nose Job?
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance and functionality of the nose. Here are some common reasons why people opt for rhinoplasty.
Large Nose
Having a nose that appears wide and large can be a source of self-consciousness for some individuals. The width may be attributed to the bony part, the tip, or the base of the nose. It can give the impression that the eyes are too far apart.
Unsightly Nose Tip
A thin and narrow nose tip not only affects one's appearance but also causes breathing difficulties. Nasal strictures can occur at the tip, middle, or upper part of the nose, or in all three areas. In the case of tip stenosis, the nose can look pinched, which may result in an angry expression. Narrowness in the middle and upper parts of the nose can make it look like a thin line on the face.
Nose Bridge Hump or Bump
Many people seek rhinoplasty to correct an arched nose. For men, a straight nose ridge is typically desired, while women may prefer a slightly curved or flat nose. A moderate curve is often preferred over a more pronounced one.
Asymmetrical Nostrils
The shape of the nasal base and nostrils is an essential aspect of rhinoplasty planning. An alarplasty procedure can be performed to adjust nostril size and symmetry.
Oblique Nose
An oblique nose can be a challenging issue to address with rhinoplasty, requiring technical knowledge and skill. Some patients may wish to retain a degree of obliquity in their nose.
Drooping Nose Tip
A droopy nose tip is a common concern, particularly in Turkey. The nose appears long on the face, with the tip drooping toward the upper lip. The drooping is particularly noticeable when laughing. Ideally, the angle between the face and upper lip should be between 90 and 100 degrees. In a drooping nose, this angle is less than 90, which can make a person look older. Rhinoplasty can help correct the drooping and restore a more youthful appearance.
What Are the Differences Between Female and Male Nose Job?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is designed to enhance the appearance of the nose. The differences between female and male nose job surgery relate to the desired outcomes of the procedure, as well as the anatomical differences between male and female noses.
- Goals of the surgery
The goals of rhinoplasty surgeries can vary between men and women. Women often desire a more delicate and refined appearance to their nose, while male patients may be more concerned with maintaining a strong and masculine appearance.
- Anatomy of the nose
The anatomy of male and female noses differs, which can impact the approach taken during aesthetic nose job in Turkey. Male noses tend to have a stronger, more prominent bridge, a wider nasal base, and thicker skin than female noses. Female noses, on the other hand, tend to have a more delicate, refined appearance, with a slightly upwardly turned tip.
- Techniques used
The techniques used during rhinoplasty surgery may also differ between male and female patients. For example, to achieve a more refined and delicate appearance for female noses, a rhinoplasty surgeon may use more intricate techniques such as tip refinement and dorsal hump reduction. In male rhinoplasty, the focus may be on maintaining a stronger and more prominent nasal bridge, with less emphasis on the tip.
- Recovery time
The recovery time for rhinoplasty surgery can vary depending on the extent of the aesthetic nose surgery. However, women after such surgical operations may typically experience a slightly shorter recovery time than men due to differences in skin thickness and healing rates.
Overall, the differences between female and male rhinoplasty surgery primarily relate to the desired outcomes of the nose job and the anatomical differences between male and female noses. It is important for most patients to work closely with their rhinoplasty surgeon to determine the best approach for achieving their desired results.
How is Rhinoplasty Performed in Turkey?
The steps involved in a typical rhinoplasty in Turkey are:
- Consultation. The first step is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this meeting, the surgeon will evaluate your nose and discuss your desired outcome. They will also review your medical history to ensure that you are a good candidate for the nose job.
- Anesthesia. The surgeon will administer anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the surgery. Nose jobs are typically performed under general anesthesia in Turkey, which means that you will be completely unconscious throughout the nose reshaping.
- Incisions. The surgeon will make small incisions either inside the nostrils or on the outside of the nose, depending on the desired outcome.
- Reshaping. Plastic surgeons will then reshape the nose by removing or adding cartilage, nasal bone, or tissue. This may involve straightening a crooked nose, reducing the size of the nose, or altering the shape of the tip.
- Closure. Once the reshaping is complete, the surgeon will close the incisions using sutures.
- Recovery. After the surgery, you will need to rest for several days to allow your nose to heal. Your surgeon will provide you with instructions on how to care for your nose during this time.
It's important to note that the specific details of a rhinoplasty procedure may vary depending on the individual needs of the patient and the techniques used by plastic surgeons. Therefore, it's crucial to select a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in performing rhinoplasty procedures to ensure the best possible outcome.
What Should Be Taken into Consideration After Rhinoplasty in Turkey?
To optimize and ease your healing journey after nose job in Turkey, here are some helpful tips:
- Choose clothing with a wider neck opening to avoid contact with your nose.
- During the first two weeks, washing your hair may be uncomfortable, so consider asking for assistance.
- Bring along some paper napkins to gently dab your nose in case of any discharge, but avoid applying too much pressure.
- When wearing a mask, ensure that it doesn't cause discomfort or exert pressure on your nose.
- For a few weeks after the nose reshaping, avoid using makeup as the skin around your nose is delicate and sensitive.
- As sleeping on your back is recommended, place pillows on both sides of your head to avoid any accidental movement during sleep.
- Be mindful in public areas, as sudden movements or bumps may be harmful to your recovery process.
- Despite any discomfort, continue to eat healthy and stay active, even if it means taking short walks.
- Use nasal saltwater washes to cleanse your nasal passages and improve your breathing.
- Sneeze carefully with an open mouth to avoid any discomfort or damage.
- If you need a PCR test before traveling, inform the medical professional about your recent operation to avoid any complications.
- Listen to your body when resuming your daily routine and physical activities, monitoring your blood pressure and overall well-being.
Recovery may seem daunting, but in just one or two months, you'll see a flawless reflection in the mirror and feel more confident and attractive. Recovery may take a few months, but the results will last a lifetime.
Risks of Rhinoplasty
Postoperative rhinoplasty risks and complications are important to be aware of to make an informed decision when considering the nose job. Here are some of the most common risks and complications that can occur after rhinoplasty:
- Swelling and bruising. Swelling and bruising are common side effects after rhinoplasty, and they usually resolve within a few weeks.
- Infection. Infection can occur after rhinoplasty, but it is a rare complication that can usually be treated with antibiotics.
- Bleeding. Bleeding is also a rare complication, but it can be a serious problem if it occurs. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks after surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding.
- Breathing difficulties. Breathing difficulties can occur after rhinoplasty, especially if the surgery was performed to correct a deviated nasal septum or other nasal obstruction. According to a study published in the Annals of Plastic Surgery, about 4% of patients reported breathing difficulties after rhinoplasty.
- Anesthesia-related problems. Anesthesia-related problems, such as allergic reactions or complications from general anesthesia, can occur during any aesthetic plastic surgery.
- Blood clots. Blood clots can form after any surgery, and they can be a serious complication if they travel to the lungs or other organs.
- Scarring: Scarring is a potential complication of any surgery, including rhinoplasty. However, modern techniques have made scarring less of a concern than in the past.
It is important to remember that the risks and complications of rhinoplasty operations can vary depending on the individual patient and the surgical technique used. However, according to a study published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, the overall complication rate for rhinoplasty is low, with only 4.3% of patients experiencing a complication.
To minimize these risks and complications, patients should choose a reputable and best rhinoplasty surgeon who has a proven track record of success with rhinoplasty procedures. Additionally, international patients should follow all post-operative instructions closely to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
What Factors Affect Rhinoplasty Cost in Turkey?
The price of nose rhinoplasty can be affected by several factors, according to Bookimed partner clinics. These factors are as follows:
- The difficulty of the surgery and its type. The complexity of the procedure and the modifications required can impact the cost. For example, a full nose reshaping operation will be more expensive than a reduction of the nasal ala. The type of rhinoplasty you need impacts the price. Minor adjustments cost less than complete reshaping. Scarring from past surgeries can also affect the cost. Revision surgery costs more. Two techniques are used: open and closed. Price variations exist between practices, but it shouldn't make a significant difference.
- Experience and authority of the plastic surgeon. The more qualified and well-known the plastic surgeon is, the more expensive their services are. Surgeons with vast experience, high success rates, and membership in national and international plastic surgery organizations may charge a higher fee.
- Anesthesiologist's fee. The correct type and dose of anesthesia are crucial to the procedure's outcome and the patient's well-being. An anesthesiologist with vast experience and numerous training and completed courses may charge a higher fee. However, this component of the price is already included in the rhinoplasty package that Turkish clinics offer.
- Country. The cost of nose correction can differ from one country to another, as each state healthcare has a unique pricing policy. General rhinoplasty pricing in Turkey is 2-4 times lower than in the USA or the UK, for instance. But the quality of medical services remains on the same high level.
- Clinic. The level of equipment in the medical facility and the internal price policy of each private clinic can also affect the final cost of a nose job.
- Recovery expenses. Follow-ups, medications, medical patches, nasal strips, and other additional materials needed during rehabilitation can increase the cost of rhinoplasty. So, before scheduling your visit to the clinic, specify whether these items are the rhinoplasty cost.

FAQ about Rhinoplasty in Turkey
Is there an age limit for Rhinoplasty surgery?
There is no set age limit for rhinoplasty surgery, as the decision to undergo the nose job surgery depends on factors such as the individual's physical health, emotional maturity, and goals for the surgery. However, it is generally recommended that patients wait until their facial features are fully developed before undergoing the nose job in Turkey, which typically occurs around age 15-16 for girls and 17-18 for boys.
Does nose surgery hurt?
Rhinoplasty surgery itself is painless. Anesthesia is given during the nose job, and pain medication is prescribed afterward. Pain, swelling, and bruising can occur during recovery, but can be managed with medication and other supportive measures recommended by the surgeon. Discuss any concerns with your surgeon before the surgery.
What is the success rate for rhinoplasty in Turkey?
The success rate of rhinoplasty surgery in Turkey is reportedly more than 95%. It is crucial to entrust your reshaping to a reputable rhinoplasty clinic and experienced plastic surgeon in Turkey to receive the best surgical operations outcome.
When will I see the final result of rhinoplasty?
The final result of rhinoplasty can take about 3-9 months to become fully visible. Swelling and bruising are common after the nose job and can take several weeks to subside. As the swelling goes down, the shape of the nose will gradually become more defined, and the final outcome will begin to take shape. It's important to be patient during the recovery period and to follow your surgeon's postoperative care instructions carefully to ensure the best possible results. In some cases, it may take up to a year or more for the nose to fully settle into its final shape.
How long do I need to stay at the hospital?
Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure, but the hospital stay duration can vary based on the surgery type, patient health, and surgeon preference. Patients may need to stay a few hours for monitoring or can leave right after the surgery. The stay length depends on individual cases, and patients should discuss it with their surgeon beforehand.
How long after can I return to my social life?
Recovering from rhinoplasty varies based on the surgery's extent, patient's health, and post-op care. You can return to work and light activities in 1-2 weeks, but avoid heavy lifting and sports for several weeks. Swelling and bruising can last for weeks, so expect some downtime. Follow your surgeon's instructions and be patient for the best outcome.
Can the nose surgery be repeated?
Yes, nose surgery (rhinoplasty) can be repeated. Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary surgery that is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose job, typically due to dissatisfaction with the initial outcome or complications that arise. The timing of revision surgery will depend on individual circumstances and should be discussed with a qualified surgeon.
I do smoke. Is it a barrier for rhinoplasty?
Smoking can increase the risk of complications during and after rhinoplasty surgery, such as poor wound healing, infection, and breathing problems. It is generally recommended that patients quit smoking at least 4-6 weeks prior to surgery and avoid smoking during the recovery period to minimize these risks. Patients should discuss their smoking history and habits with their surgeon during the consultation process.
