Nose Surgery Treatments in Turkey

Cosmedica Aesthetic offers a full range of nose surgery treatments, customized to each patient’s anatomy and expectations.

Aesthetic Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Aesthetic rhinoplasty focuses on improving the shape, size, and proportion of the nose to enhance facial harmony.

Modern techniques such as preservation rhinoplasty in Turkey aim to refine the nose while maintaining its natural structure.

Common goals include:

  • Reducing a nasal hump
  • Narrowing the nasal bridge
  • Refining the nasal tip
  • Improving overall facial balance

Scarring: Minimal to none (especially with closed technique)
Final results: Visible after 6–12 months

For patients seeking results that respect their cultural and facial characteristics, ethnic rhinoplasty in Turkey focuses on natural balance rather than standardised results.

Nasal Tip Surgery (Tipplasty) in Turkey

Nasal tip correction is ideal for patients who are satisfied with most of their nose but want to refine the tip.

This procedure can:

  • Lift or reduce the nasal tip
  • Improve symmetry
  • Create a more defined appearance

Healing time: 1–2 weeks
Scarring: None to minimal

Septoplasty in Turkey (Functional Nose Surgery)

Septoplasty corrects a deviated nasal septum to improve breathing and nasal airflow.

Benefits include:

  • Improved respiratory function
  • Reduced snoring
  • Better quality of life

Septoplasty can be performed alone or combined with aesthetic rhinoplasty.

Revision Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary nose surgery performed to correct or refine the results of a previous procedure.

Reasons for revision surgery:

  • Unsatisfactory aesthetic outcome
  • Breathing difficulties after prior surgery
  • Structural issues or asymmetry

Revision rhinoplasty requires advanced expertise and careful planning.

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Reconstructive nose surgery restores nasal structure and function after:

  • Trauma or injury
  • Previous medical conditions
  • Congenital defects

Each reconstructive procedure is highly individualized.

Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Open Rhinoplasty in Turkey

  • Small incision at the base of the nose
  • Maximum visibility and precision
  • Ideal for complex or revision cases
  • Scarring: Minimal and typically fades over time

Closed Rhinoplasty in Turkey

  • All incisions inside the nostrils
  • No visible external scars
  • Faster recovery

The choice of technique depends on anatomy, goals, and surgeon recommendation. Patients who want a more detailed comparison can read our guide on open vs. closed nose surgery in Turkey.
