Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic applications around the world. With this process, which is applied to eliminate the deformities in the nose the most striking area of the face, a balanced expression is given to the person's face.

Yes. This is known as revision rhinoplasty, and it can address both cosmetic and functional issues from earlier surgeries. Our experienced surgeons at Büyük Anadolu Hospital carefully evaluate each case to create a customized approach for optimal correction.
It depends on the technique used. Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible scars since incisions are inside the nostrils. Open rhinoplasty may leave a small scar at the base of the nose, but with proper healing, it becomes barely noticeable over time.
When performed by skilled surgeons, rhinoplasty should not negatively impact your breathing. In fact, if you have existing nasal obstruction or septum deviation, functional improvements can be made during the procedure to enhance airflow.
For a smooth recovery and proper follow-up, we recommend staying in Turkey for 7 to 8 days. This allows time for your post-op checkups, removal of splints or stitches, and ensures you're healing well before flying home.
Most patients feel well enough to return to work or light activities within 7 to 10 days after surgery. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few weeks to ensure proper healing.
Initial improvements will be noticeable once the swelling starts to subside, usually within 2 to 3 weeks. However, the final shape of your nose continues to refine over 6 to 12 months, especially around the nasal tip.
