Overview
About Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) reshapes the nose to improve facial harmony and, when needed, breathing function. It can address size, shape, bridge profile, tip definition, and nostril symmetry, whether for aesthetic goals, functional breathing concerns, or both together.
Istanbul has become one of the most established international destinations for rhinoplasty, combining board-certified surgeons, modern private hospitals, and significantly lower costs than the UK, US, Canada, or Australia for the same standard of surgical care.
At Seta Clinic Global, every case begins with a 3D nose analysis so you and your surgeon agree on the plan before surgery. Using open or closed technique depending on your anatomy, the surgical goal is a result that looks like a natural, unoperated nose, not an obviously "done" one.

- Closed technique leaves no external scarring for suitable cases
- Can be combined with septoplasty to correct breathing issues in the same surgery
- Often 60–70% less than equivalent surgery in the UK, US, Canada, or Australia
What to Expect / Risks
- Swelling and bruising around the eyes and nose for 1–3 weeks is normal
- A splint is worn for about 7 days after surgery
- As with any surgery, there are risks of infection, bleeding, or the need for minor revision
- Final shape continues to refine for up to 12 months as residual swelling settles
Candidacy
Am I a Good Candidate?
Good candidates typically have:
- Completed facial growth (generally 18+)
- Good general health, non-smoker or willing to pause smoking around surgery
- Specific, realistic concerns about nose shape, size, or breathing
- Realistic expectations about achievable results
May need further evaluation if you have:
- Uncontrolled bleeding disorders
- Active sinus infections
- Unrealistic expectations not matching facial anatomy
- Body dysmorphic concerns: our surgeons will discuss this honestly
Approaches
Types of Rhinoplasty
Primary Rhinoplasty
The most common form of rhinoplasty, performed on a nose that hasn't had surgery before, to reshape size, profile, or tip definition.
Revision Rhinoplasty
A secondary rhinoplasty performed to refine or correct the result of a previous nose surgery. Typically more complex, since it involves scar tissue and altered internal structure from the first procedure. Your surgeon will assess feasibility during consultation.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
An approach that reshapes the nose while preserving features that reflect a patient's ethnic and facial heritage, rather than applying a single standardized nose shape.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Focused on improving breathing function (often combined with septoplasty to correct a deviated septum), alongside or independent of any aesthetic goals.
Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty
Uses ultrasonic instruments to reshape nasal bone with more precision than traditional tools, which can mean less trauma to surrounding tissue and more predictable bone contouring.
Male Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty planned around typically stronger, more angular male facial proportions, so the result stays in harmony with the rest of the face rather than looking generically "softened."

FAQ
Rhinoplasty FAQ
With closed rhinoplasty, there are no external scars. With open rhinoplasty, a tiny scar is placed under the nose (columella) that fades significantly within months and is rarely noticeable.
