Rhinoplasty in Turkey: Before, During and After Your Procedure

What Is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape, resize or adjust the proportions of the nose. Cosmetic rhinoplasty improves appearance, while functional rhinoplasty addresses breathing issues (such as deviated septum). Turkey is consistently ranked among the world's top rhinoplasty destinations.

Rhinoplasty Prices in Turkey 2026

In the UK, private rhinoplasty costs between £4,000–£10,000. In Antalya, the same quality procedure is available for £1,500–£3,500, typically including anaesthesia, hospital stay and one night's accommodation.

Preparation Before Your Trip

• Video consultation with your surgeon and photo analysis
• Blood tests and cardiac clearance (obtainable from your local GP)
• Stop blood-thinning medications (aspirin etc.) 2 weeks before surgery
• Stop smoking at least 2 weeks before for optimal healing
• Arrange a companion (strongly recommended)

What to Expect on Surgery Day

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and takes 2–4 hours. Two techniques are used:

• Open technique: Small external incision, better surgical visibility, preferred for complex cases
• Closed technique: All incisions inside the nose, no visible scarring, faster recovery

An overnight hospital stay for observation follows the procedure.

Recovery Timeline

• Week 1–2: Splint worn, bruising and swelling are normal
• Week 3–4: Splint removed, return to social activities
• Month 3: 80% of swelling resolved, results visible
• Month 12: Final result fully apparent
