What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly called a nose reshaping or nose job, is a surgical procedure that improves both the appearance and function of the nose.
When performed as a functional and aesthetic surgery, it corrects structural problems such as a deviated septum or narrow nasal passages while also enhancing facial harmony.
At Büyük Anadolu Hospitals, rhinoplasty combines precision breathing restoration with natural, balanced aesthetics.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
You may consider rhinoplasty if you experience:
-
Breathing difficulties due to nasal obstruction or septal deviation
-
A nose that appears too large, wide, or asymmetrical
-
A drooping or bulbous nasal tip
-
Previous trauma or unsuccessful nasal surgery
-
Desire to harmonize the nose with facial proportions
Patients should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.
Rhinoplasty can be performed for adults once nasal growth is complete.
