Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) at partner hospitals in Turkiye.

About Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

Rhinoplasty changes the shape or size of the nose by reshaping its bone and cartilage. It can also be done to improve breathing. It's usually carried out under general anaesthetic.

Swelling takes time to settle, so the final shape is only visible after several months.

Who it may suit

Adults whose face has finished growing.
Clear, realistic expectations about the change you want; the surgeon will discuss what's achievable for your nose.
Breathing problems should be mentioned in the planner so the surgeon can assess them.

How long you'll stay in Turkiye

The NHS advises not flying for 7 to 10 days after facial cosmetic procedures. A nose splint usually stays on for about a week, and the clinic checks your nose before you travel.

Recovery & aftercare

Typical timings. Your doctor will give you a personal plan.

About 1 week: The nose splint is usually removed.
Up to 2 weeks: Time off work.
About 3 weeks: Swimming is usually possible.
4 to 6 weeks: Avoid strenuous exercise until then.
Up to 6 months or more: Swelling settles and the final shape becomes visible.

Once you're home

Wear your compression or support garment for as long as the surgeon advises.
Walk little and often from the first days to help prevent blood clots, but avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise until you're told it's safe.
Keep your wounds clean and dry, and follow the clinic's instructions on showering and dressings.
Arrange for someone to help you at home for the first days after you return.
Call 999 for chest pain, breathlessness, or pain and swelling in one leg. Contact the clinic about increasing pain, redness, discharge or a fever.
Book a GP appointment after you return, and bring your operation notes.
