Rhinoplasty in Istanbul — Natural, Structural Nose Surgery

Refined nasal aesthetics that respect your ethnicity, breathing and proportion.

Surgical Technique

Preservation & Structural Rhinoplasty

Dr. Barutcu favours preservation rhinoplasty when anatomy allows — keeping the dorsum intact rather than reducing and rebuilding. For complex cases, structural rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts (septal, conchal or rib) restores both form and function with long-term stability.

Why choose Istanbul for rhinoplasty?

Istanbul has become a global capital for rhinoplasty, with high-volume surgeons, accredited hospitals and significant cost advantage versus the UK, Germany and the GCC — without compromising on safety or aesthetic outcome.

What to expect on the day of surgery

You'll arrive at the hospital fasting, meet with Dr. Barutcu and the anaesthesia team for a final review, then proceed to surgery. The operation takes 3–4 hours. You'll spend one night in the hospital with a dedicated nurse before being discharged to your hotel.

Anaesthesia

General anaesthesia administered by a board-certified anaesthesiologist.

Incisions

Open or closed approach selected based on your anatomy. Open scars heal invisibly within the columella.

Splint & taping

External splint and internal silicone splints support the new nasal framework for 7 days.

Recovery week-by-week

Days 1–7: splint and mild bruising around the eyes. Day 7: splint removed, sutures dissolved. Week 2: comfortable to return to social life. Month 3: 70% of swelling resolved. Month 12: final result.
