Rhinoplasty Istanbul
Rhinoplasty in Istanbul, from the first question to the last week of recovery.
We publish guides to rhinoplasty in Istanbul and we list the doctors who perform it. A question sent through this site reaches the doctor named on the page.
Our doctors
Ask the person who would operate, before you book anything
What decides how your operation goes is the surgeon, their training and what they actually propose to do to your nose. Every doctor here is listed with the specialty they trained in, where they trained and the operations they work on.
A question reaches the doctor whose name is on the page, and the reply comes back from them by email. Your name, your email and your question is all it takes.

- Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty What the randomised trials measured, including where they found nothing.
- Septorhinoplasty Shape and septum together, when breathing is part of the problem.
- Ethnic Rhinoplasty Anatomical variation and identity, not correction toward one ideal.
- Male Rhinoplasty Different published angles, thicker skin, slower settling.
- Tip Plasty Tip only: what it can change, and what it cannot.
- Alar Base Reduction Narrowing the nostril base, including the scars it leaves.
- Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Filler adds volume and cannot make a nose smaller. Read the risks.
Or start from what you notice
Most people arrive knowing what bothers them, not what it is called
These pages start from the thing you see in a photograph, explain what is underneath it, and say honestly what surgery does and does not change. Almost everything on them is a normal anatomical variant rather than a deformity.
- Dorsal hump The bump on the bridge, and what it is made of.
- Bulbous nose Why a tip reads as round, and why skin thickness is the limit.
- Crooked nose Deviation from injury or growth, and the breathing half of it.
- Wide nose Three different things get called wide, and they differ.
- Droopy tip Tip position, why smiling shows it, and the published angles.
The four questions everyone asks
-
Cost
What moves a price, what a written quote must itemise, and how to compare two of them.
-
Recovery
The first year, week by week, including the part after you fly home.
-
Results
What surgery can change, and how to read a surgeon's own photographs.

Rhinoplasty in Istanbul
The operation itself, and what is different about having it abroad.
If the problem is breathing
A blocked nose is a medical problem, not a cosmetic one
If you cannot breathe through your nose you are in a different situation from someone who dislikes their profile, and you deserve a different answer. Nasal obstruction is frequently treatable where you live, and travelling abroad for it deserves a harder look than cosmetic surgery does.
How this site works
Written by an editor, read by a clinician, dated twice
Every clinical page here is written from published sources and read by Dr. Tugce Simsek, an ear, nose and throat specialist in Istanbul, before it is published. Each page carries the date it was published and the date it was last reviewed, and the second matters more.
She is also one of the doctors listed on this site, and a question sent through it can reach her. We would rather you knew that from the start. The full position.
From the blog
The questions people arrive asking, answered at length: how long the swelling really lasts, what surgery does to breathing, and how old is old enough.
Before you go
Three checklists built to be printed and written on, and a glossary for the words you will be handed mid-consultation.
If you want to ask something
Send a question to a named doctor and the reply comes back from them by email. Your name, your email and the question is all it takes.
Who publishes this, and how it is funded
This site is published and funded by the organisation that operates it. The doctors listed here work with us directly, and a question you send through the site reaches the doctor whose name is on the page.
Content is reviewed on a 12-month cycle and every page shows its own dates. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will correct it in public. More about this site.
