Short answer: Rhinoplasty in Istanbul is performed by facial plastic surgeons in licensed hospitals; open, closed and ultrasonic (piezo) techniques are available. Patients stay about 7 days for the splint removal. Buşra Nur Özger (BNÖ Health) arranges the surgeon consultation, hospital, hotel, transfers and follow-up.
Which technique?
- Closed rhinoplasty: incisions inside the nose, less swelling, suited to smaller changes.
- Open rhinoplasty: a small incision across the columella gives full visibility for complex reshaping.
- Ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty: bone is reshaped with ultrasonic instruments for more precision and less bruising.
- Functional rhinoplasty: corrects a deviated septum and breathing at the same time.
Candidates
Adults (facial growth complete, usually 18+) in good health, with realistic goals. Smokers are asked to stop before surgery. Revision rhinoplasty is possible but planned case by case.
Procedure and recovery
1.5–3 hours under general anaesthesia, usually one night in hospital. The splint is removed around day 7, which is when most patients fly home. Bruising fades in 1–2 weeks; the final shape settles over 12 months.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I stay in Istanbul for rhinoplasty?
About 7 days: the splint is removed around day 7 before you fly home.
Is ultrasonic rhinoplasty better?
It allows more precise bone shaping with less bruising; whether it suits you depends on your anatomy and the surgeon’s assessment.
When can I see the final result?
Most swelling goes within 3 months; the final refinement, especially at the tip, can take up to a year.
Can rhinoplasty fix breathing problems?
Yes, functional rhinoplasty (septorhinoplasty) corrects the septum and nasal valves together with the shape.
