Dr. Ufuk Durgun welcomes you to his clinic Cosmedica Aesthetic. He is a highly qualified plastic surgeon based in Turkey, specialising in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery with a strong focus on rhinoplasty. Dr. Durgun has made important contributions to the field through his research, lectures and publications.
The technique used matters as much as the surgeon’s skill. We use modern, evidence-based approaches tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Our primary technique for bone work. Piezo devices use ultrasonic energy to reshape bone with exceptional precision — without damaging surrounding soft tissues. The result: less bruising, reduced swelling, faster healing, and more controlled outcomes compared to conventional osteotomy methods.
We select the approach based on each patient’s individual anatomy and goals. Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible scars and offers faster recovery for simpler cases. Open rhinoplasty provides superior visualization for complex reshaping and revision work. Your surgeon recommends what’s right for you.
Many patients benefit from addressing both aesthetic and functional concerns simultaneously. We correct deviated septums and improve nasal airflow alongside cosmetic refinement — so the result is a nose that both looks and breathes better.
Every surgical plan begins with a detailed pre-operative evaluation of your facial structure and proportions. We focus on balance and harmony — not trends. The goal is always a result that fits your face naturally, not a standardized template.

Turkish surgeons are renowned for their expertise and high success rates in rhinoplasty procedures. Our surgeons’ experience meets the highest international standards in cosmetic and aesthetic surgery.
The cost of rhinoplasties in Turkey is significantly lower compared to many countries. Cosmetic surgeries cost in Turkey can be up to 50-70% cheaper than in many Western countries. This cost difference is because of lower operational costs and competitive pricing strategies of Turkish clinics.
Turkey's clinics use the latest technology for nose jobs. They meet international standards of quality and care.
Many clinics offer all-inclusive packages for nose jobs. They cover the surgery, accommodation, transfers, providing convenience and peace of mind.
We don't promise Instagram noses or trendy results. We listen carefully to what you want — then guide you professionally toward what's achievable and genuinely right for your face. Honest conversations from day one.
Every treatment plan is built around your unique facial proportions, not a template. Our approach focuses on balance, harmony, and results that look natural — not operated on.
In general, rhinoplasty costs in Turkey range between 2.000€ to 5.000€. The prices vary depending on the complexity of the surgery and the clinic’s reputation. At our clinic, the cost is competitively priced at 2.490€. This price includes surgery, accommodation, and transfers, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for our patients.

Expected in the first 1–2 weeks. Most visible bruising resolves within 10–14 days. Final results take 6–12 months to fully settle as residual swelling subsides gradually.
Some loss of sensation around the nose tip is common and typically resolves within weeks to a few months as nerve endings recover.
Minor asymmetries can occur during healing. In rare cases where the outcome doesn’t meet expectations, revision options are discussed transparently.
Most patients experience improved or unchanged breathing. In functional cases, this is the primary goal. Very rarely, structural changes can temporarily affect airflow during healing.
Infection risk is low when procedures are performed in accredited clinical settings with proper sterile technique. Antibiotic prophylaxis is standard protocol.
All patients undergo thorough pre-operative screening. Our anaesthesiology team conducts a complete assessment before every procedure. Serious reactions are extremely rare.

| Open | Closed |
• Involves a small external incision made on the tissue between the nostrils. • The skin is lifted off the nose to provide a clear view of the underlying nasal structures. | • All incisions are made inside the nostrils, with no external cuts. • The skin is not lifted off the nose, and the modifications are made through the internal incisions. |
| Open | Closed |
• Better visualization of the nasal structure, allowing for more precise modifications. • Ideal for more complex cases, such as significant reshaping or reconstruction. | • No visible scars, as all incisions are internal. • Shorter operative time, reduced swelling and quicker recovery compared to open rhinoplasty. |
| Open | Closed |
• Longer operative time and slightly longer recovery period due to the external incision. • Potential for a small, visible scar on the columella, though it usually fades over time. | • Limited visibility for the surgeon, which can make intricate modifications more challenging. • May not be suitable for complex nasal reconstructions. |
| Open | Closed |
• Major nasal reconstruction. • Correcting severe nasal deformities and revising previous rhinoplasty surgeries. | • Minor reshaping of the nose. • First-time rhinoplasty patients with less severe nasal issues. |
The choice between open and closed rhinoplasty depends on the patient, the surgery and the surgeon’s advice. An experienced surgeon will choose the best way based on the patient’s nose and what they want to achieve. Understanding the differences between open and closed rhinoplasty helps patients make informed and confident decisions about nose surgery in Turkey.
Swelling and bruising peak, with mild discomfort. Pain medication and cold compresses help manage symptoms. Rest and keep the head elevated.
Swelling and bruising diminish after some days. Keep the nasal splint in place until the surgeon removes it. Use cold compresses and avoid blowing the nose.
Significant reduction in bruising. Most patients can return to work and normal daily activities. Continue to avoid strenuous activities. Gentle cleaning of the nose area as instructed by surgeon.
You can resume light exercise but avoid activities that could impact the nose. Protect the nose from sun exposure and avoid wearing glasses on the nose.
Nose shape becomes more refined. Residual swelling gradually reduces. Continue with follow-up visits. Gradual resumption of exercise but avoid contact sports.
Full healing of nasal tissues. Final results become evident. Protect the nose from injury, and any persistent swelling will continue to subside.
Your Surgeon
“My goal is not to create a nose that looks operated on. It’s to create one that looks like it always belonged — balanced, refined, and uniquely yours.”
Scarring depends on the type of nose job surgery. In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are made inside the nostrils. This means there is no visible scarring after the surgery. An open rhinoplasty can leave a small scar, but it is usually not visible.
Patients usually feel well enough to return to work at around 2 weeks. After 14 days, you can do light activities like short walks, chores and driving if you are not taking pain medication. You can start exercising again after 4 weeks, but avoid contact sports. If you have any questions about your personal situation after nose surgery in Turkey, please contact us.
The cost of a nose job in Turkey typically ranges between €2,000 and €5,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the clinic’s reputation. At Cosmedica Aesthetic, rhinoplasty starts from €2,490 — a price that includes surgery, accommodation, and airport transfers. This all-inclusive approach makes it easy to plan your treatment without hidden costs.
Yes, getting a nose job in Turkey is safe — provided you choose a qualified surgeon and an accredited clinic. Turkey has become one of the world’s leading medical tourism destinations, with surgeons who meet international standards and clinics equipped with state-of-the-art technology. At Cosmedica Aesthetic, all procedures are performed by Dr. Ufuk Durgun, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 10 years of specialist experience, a member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery (TPCD). Patients receive full support before, during, and after surgery, including 24/7 availability and structured follow-up care.
Based on current exchange rates, a nose job in Turkey costs approximately £2,100 to £4,200 (GBP). At Cosmedica Aesthetic, our rhinoplasty package starts from around £2,100, which is significantly lower than the average cost of £6,000–£10,000 in the United Kingdom. The savings are substantial, even after factoring in flights and travel expenses, making Turkey an attractive option for UK patients seeking high-quality results at a fraction of the price.
There are several reasons why nose jobs are more affordable in Turkey compared to Western Europe or the USA:
Importantly, lower prices do not mean lower quality. Turkish surgeons like Dr. Durgun are internationally trained and certified, delivering results that meet the highest global standards.
Proper preparation helps ensure a smooth surgery and recovery. Here is what to do before your nose job in Turkey:
Yes, there are specific risks associated with travelling abroad for rhinoplasty that every patient should be aware of. The most common include limited access to your surgeon after returning home, complications during the flight in the early recovery phase, potential language barriers, and difficulty attending in-person follow-up appointments. However, these risks can be significantly reduced by choosing a clinic that offers structured remote aftercare, 24/7 availability, and multilingual support — all of which Cosmedica Aesthetic in Istanbul provides as standard. It is also essential to take out travel insurance that explicitly covers complications arising from elective surgery abroad, and to ensure your surgeon holds internationally recognised certifications.
Finding a reputable rhinoplasty surgeon in Turkey requires careful research across several key criteria. Look for board certification from internationally recognised bodies such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) or the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery (TPCD). Verify that the surgeon specialises specifically in rhinoplasty rather than offering it as one procedure among many. Check verified patient reviews on platforms such as RealSelf, WhatClinic, and Google. Ask to see before and after photos of real patients with similar anatomy and goals. Dr. Ufuk Durgun at Cosmedica Aesthetic in Istanbul is a RealSelf Top Doctor and WhatClinic Award recipient with over ten years of specialist experience in rhinoplasty, making him a strong example of what to look for when evaluating surgeons in Turkey.
Istanbul is by far the most popular city in Turkey for rhinoplasty surgery, attracting thousands of international patients each year due to its concentration of specialist clinics, internationally trained surgeons, and excellent transport connections from the UK, Europe, and beyond. Ankara and Izmir also have reputable plastic surgery clinics, but Istanbul dominates the medical tourism landscape for nose jobs. Within Istanbul, districts such as Şişli and Nişantaşı are particularly well known for their high-end aesthetic clinics. Cosmedica Aesthetic is located in Şişli, one of Istanbul’s most central and accessible neighbourhoods, making it a convenient choice for patients travelling from abroad.
Asking the right questions during your rhinoplasty consultation is essential to making an informed decision. Key questions to raise include: Which technique — open or closed rhinoplasty — do you recommend for my anatomy, and why? What realistic results can I expect based on my facial structure? What are the specific risks in my individual case? How many rhinoplasty procedures have you performed, and can I see before and after photos of similar patients? What does the aftercare process look like, particularly for patients travelling from abroad? What is included in the package price, and are there any additional costs? Is revision surgery a possibility, and how would that be managed? A thorough and transparent consultation, such as the free consultations offered by Cosmedica Aesthetic, should address all of these points before you commit to surgery.
Proper preparation is one of the most important factors in ensuring a safe rhinoplasty and a smooth recovery. In the weeks leading up to your procedure, you should stop taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen at least two weeks before surgery, quit smoking at least four weeks in advance as it significantly impairs healing and increases complication risk, and avoid alcohol for a minimum of one week beforehand. From a practical standpoint, arrange at least seven to ten days off work, organise your travel and accommodation well in advance — Cosmedica Aesthetic assists patients with airport transfers and hotel bookings as part of their all-inclusive package — and follow your surgeon’s specific fasting instructions, which typically mean no food or drink from midnight before the procedure. Preparing a comfortable recovery space at home before you travel is also strongly recommended.
Booking a consultation for a nose job in Turkey online is straightforward. Cosmedica Aesthetic offers free consultations that can be requested directly through the contact form on their website at cosmedicaaesthetic.com. Simply provide your name, email address, phone number, and country of residence, and a member of the team will get in touch to discuss your goals and answer your initial questions. Virtual consultations with Dr. Ufuk Durgun are available, allowing you to have a detailed, personalised conversation about your expectations, your anatomy, and the recommended surgical approach — all before committing to travel. This online consultation process is designed to ensure that every patient feels fully informed and confident well in advance of their procedure.
Rhinoplasty in Turkey is already significantly more affordable than in most Western countries, with all-inclusive packages at Cosmedica Aesthetic starting from €2,490 — compared to £6,000 to £10,000 in the UK and up to $25,000 in the United States. Regarding specific financing or instalment plan options, it is recommended to raise this directly during your consultation, as payment arrangements can vary. More broadly, some patients explore third-party medical finance providers or personal loans to cover the cost of elective surgery abroad. Even when accounting for flights and travel expenses, the total cost of a nose job in Turkey typically remains considerably lower than having the same procedure performed in the UK or Germany.
UK patients travelling to Turkey for rhinoplasty surgery benefit from relatively straightforward entry requirements. As of 2025, British citizens can enter Turkey visa-free for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, which comfortably covers the duration of a nose job trip. You will need a valid British passport with at least six months of remaining validity at the time of travel. It is strongly advisable to obtain comprehensive travel insurance that explicitly covers medical complications arising from elective procedures abroad, as many standard travel policies exclude this. You should also carry full documentation of your surgical procedure, post-operative instructions, and any prescribed medications when flying home, particularly if you are still in the early stages of recovery. Cosmedica Aesthetic provides 24/7 support and structured aftercare guidance to help international patients navigate their recovery safely before and after their return to the UK.
Virtual rhinoplasty simulation tools allow patients to preview potential results before committing to surgery, making them a valuable part of the decision-making process. Widely used platforms and apps include TouchMD, Mirror Me, and various mobile applications that enable you to upload a photo and digitally adjust the shape, size, and profile of the nose. Some rhinoplasty clinics in Turkey, including those with a strong focus on international patients, offer their own imaging or morphing software as part of the consultation process. It is important to understand that digital simulations are illustrative tools rather than guaranteed surgical outcomes, as individual anatomy, skin thickness, and healing responses all affect final results. When booking your consultation with Cosmedica Aesthetic, it is worth asking whether Dr. Ufuk Durgun offers visual imaging or morphing during the consultation to help align expectations with achievable surgical goals.
