Rhinoplasty in Turkey

HomeRhinoplasty in Turkey

What is rhinoplasty and what concerns can it address?

Rhinoplasty called a “nose job”—is a surgical procedure that reshapes the internal and external structures of the nose to improve appearance, breathing, or both. Depending on your anatomy and goals, surgeons may refine the nasal bridge, narrow or support the tip, adjust the nostrils, correct deviations, or combine cosmetic changes with functional work such as septoplasty. Two established approaches are used: closed rhinoplasty (incisions inside the nostrils; no external scar) and open rhinoplasty (a small incision across the columella to provide full visibility for complex adjustments). The choice between open and closed techniques depends on skin thickness, tip definition needs, asymmetry, and whether it is a primary or revision surgery. In Turkey, especially in Antalya surgeons frequently pursue natural-looking results while preserving long-term structural support and airflow.

In summary, rhinoplasty can help with:

Dorsal hump or saddle deformity
Wide, bulbous, droopy, or over-projected tip
Crooked bridge or deviated septum affecting breathing
Overly wide nostrils or nasal base

Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty in Turkey?

Candidates should be adults with fully developed facial features and stable health.
Expectations should focus on natural facial harmony rather than perfection.
An airway evaluation is conducted to check for any breathing issues.
Photographic analysis is used to assess nasal structure and define goals.
Structural grafts may be considered using septum, ear, or rib cartilage.
Candidates should be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking temporarily.

Rhinoplasty Techniques Performed in Turkey

Open rhinoplasty

Small columellar incision for full visibility; preferred for complex or revision cases.

Closed rhinoplasty

All incisions inside the nostrils; no external scar, ideal for selected primary cases.

Preservation rhinoplasty

Maintains natural dorsum/ligaments (push-down/let-down) to keep a smooth, native profile.

Structural rhinoplasty

Uses cartilage grafts and precise sutures to reinforce tip and bridge for long-term stability.

Ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty

Piezoelectric instruments sculpt bone with high accuracy and reduced collateral trauma.

Functional septorhinoplasty

Cosmetic refinement combined with septoplasty/valve repair to improve breathing and airflow.

Tip plasty (tip refinement)

Focused reshaping of tip cartilages to improve definition, rotation, and projection.

Ethnic rhinoplasty

Plans tailored to skin thickness and structural needs, often with augmentation for balanced harmony.

Revision rhinoplasty

Secondary surgery addressing prior outcomes, asymmetry, or collapse—typically graft-based and highly customized.

Cartilage grafting (septal/ear/rib)

Adds support or volume when native tissue is insufficient, especially in complex cases.

How is rhinoplasty performed in Turkey?

1. Preparation & Anesthesia
Patient goals and nasal markings are reviewed before general anesthesia is applied, followed by a closed or open rhinoplasty approach depending on case complexity.

2. Structural Reshaping & Functional Correction
The nasal framework is refined—bridge, bones, and tip reshaped with or without cartilage grafts. Breathing issues like septal deviation are corrected if present.

3. Closure & Stabilization
Incisions are closed with fine sutures; external splint and tape are applied. Internal splints or dissolvable packing may also be used for support.

What Did Our Patients Say?

Mary Jones

I had my rhinoplasty done through Antioch Travel and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process. From airport pickup to post-op checkups, everything was so well organized. The surgeon was extremely skilled and listened to exactly what I wanted. I’m beyond satisfied with my new nose and the confidence it gave me. Highly recommend!

Andrew Walker

Went to Antioch for dental veneers. The dentist was very professional, the staff was warm, and I felt in safe hands the entire time. My teeth look amazing now — natural and bright. Only downside was a bit of waiting between appointments, but overall great value for money.

Eva Brown

I travelled from Germany for a mommy makeover package with Antioch. The support team helped me with every detail — flights, hotel, consultations. I felt completely supported and cared for. The results? Life-changing. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!

Maria Klein

Antioch arranged my gastric sleeve surgery, and it was honestly the best decision of my life. I’ve lost 32 kilos in 6 months and feel like a completely new person. The hospital was clean, the surgeon was highly experienced, and they even followed up with me after I returned home. The whole process felt safe and professional.

Jade Williams

Had a Hollywood Smile and dental implants done in Antalya during my trip. Everything was smooth, clean, and surprisingly quick. The results look super natural. I’d 100% come back again!

Nicole Thompson

I was honestly nervous traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery, but Antioch Travel made everything feel so easy and safe. I had liposuction and some body contouring — and I’m so happy with the results! Much better than my previous experience in the US. The recovery support was also great.

Ahmed Rahman

Superb dental service! I had a full set of zirconium crowns done through Antioch. The dentist was so precise, and the entire team was friendly and efficient. My smile looks amazing and natural. Plus, I got to explore Antalya too — win-win!

Elisa Donati

I came for dental implants and stayed for the hospitality. Everything was professionally planned by Antioch. No delays, no stress. Just excellent doctors, lovely accommodation, and perfect communication throughout. Highly recommend!

Catherine Lewis

Had a tummy tuck recently. The result is better than I imagined. Only downside: hospital staff were not always fluent in English, but the Antioch team helped quickly whenever I needed something. Thank you for taking care of me!

Sarah Bakken

I went alone for upper eyelid surgery — first time having a procedure abroad. Antioch handled everything from hotel to transfers. The clinic was beautiful, and my results look fresh and natural. It honestly felt like a wellness retreat!

What should I do before and after surgery? (Preparation, recovery & timelines)

Before surgery (your preparation checklist)

Share medical history, medications, and allergies; follow any guidance on pausing blood-thinners and nicotine.
Arrange time off and a support person for the first 24–48 hours.
Follow fasting instructions and pre-op hygiene guidance from your hospital.

After surgery (typical recovery milestones)

Expect bruising/swelling around the eyes for 1–2 weeks; a splint typically stays on for ~7–10 days. You may also have internal dressings that your team removes—do not remove them yourself.
Sleep with your head elevated; keep the splint dry; sneeze with your mouth open; avoid nose-blowing until cleared. Gentle saline care is often recommended.
Most patients resume desk work in 7–10 days; avoid strenuous exercise and contact sports for 4–6 weeks. Subtle tip swelling can take 6–12 months to settle, which is normal in rhinoplasty.

Post-op do’s & don’ts

Do: short walks, hydration, prescribed meds, and scheduled follow-ups (in person or via video if you return home).
Don’t: wear heavy glasses on the bridge early on, smoke, or resume high-impact activity until cleared.

Recovery Process After Rhinoplasty

First 24–48 hours

Rest with head elevated; use cold compress as instructed. Mild oozing/nasal congestion is common. Do not blow your nose. Take prescribed pain meds/antibiotics exactly as directed.

Days 3–7

Bruising/swelling peak then begin to subside. Short indoor walks are encouraged; keep the external splint dry. Saline sprays and gentle wound care as advised; avoid glasses on the bridge.

Day 7–10

External splint and any external sutures are usually removed. Many patients return to desk work; expect residual tip swelling.

Weeks 2–4

Most bruising is gone; swelling steadily improves. Light exercise only (no bending, heavy lifting, sauna, or swimming). Continue taping/night support if your surgeon recommends it.

Weeks 4–6

Nasal bones are more stable; gradually resume full workouts. Avoid contact sports and facial trauma risks.

Months 3–6

Tip definition sharpens; numbness/firmness diminishes. Protect from sun (hat/SPF) to prevent discoloration.

Months 6–12

Final refinement of shape—especially at the tip—becomes evident. Attend scheduled check-ins (in person or via telehealth).

How much does rhinoplasty in Turkey cost, and what affects the price?

The rhinoplasty in Turkey cost varies by case complexity, surgeon seniority, hospital accreditation, and what is included in your package. Rather than focusing on a single figure, compare like-for-like quotations and confirm the scope of care. For example, a straightforward primary case generally requires less operating time and fewer grafts than a complex revision rhinoplasty, which can influence the average cost of rhinoplasty in Turkey.

What commonly shapes the price

Clinical factors: primary vs. revision surgery, open vs. closed approach, need for septoplasty/valve repair, cartilage grafting (septal/ear/rib), and expected operating time.
Provider factors: surgeon’s experience and reputation, presence of a dedicated rhinoplasty team, and hospital level (JCI/ISO-accredited facilities typically command higher fees).
Package structure: pre-op assessments and imaging, anesthesia, operating theatre, consumables, medications, overnight stay if needed, follow-ups, and language assistance.
Travel services: hotel category, duration of stay, VIP airport–clinic transfers, and concierge support in Antalya.
Market variables: currency exchange, seasonal demand, and payment method (cash vs. card policies).
