Rhinoplasty ( Nose Job ) - Nose reshaping
The shape of the nasal tip or the nasal belt may vary, the width of the nostrils may be narrowed or the angle between the nose and the upper lip may be varied. Nasal surgery can be performed with congenital or injury-related deformities, breathing problems, or simply aesthetic concerns.
Treatment process
Open rhinopilastia;
It is realized by opening a small incision from the bottom of the nostrils. Opening this portion gives the surgeon a wider viewing angle. In general, the procedures applied in cartilage and bone are the same as in closed technique. Open rhinoplasty technique may be preferred in patients with advanced deformity or history of secondary aesthetic surgery, which we call secondary surgery. The main advantage of the open rhinoplasty technique is that it provides the surgeon with a wide view and application. However, according to closed rhinoplasty technique, the healing time of nasal tip edema and bruises will be longer.

Travel, your stay and aftercare
How long do I need to stay in Turkey after the procedure?
Plan for 7 days in Antalya for this procedure. Of that, 1 night is the hospital stay; for the rest you are at your hotel, with check-ups in between. A final check-up takes place before you fly home — you are only cleared to travel after it. Combined procedures can require a longer stay.
When can I fly after surgery?
You are cleared to fly home only after your final check-up — for this procedure typically after 7 days. Do not fly earlier, even if you feel fine: your doctor decides based on wound healing and your individual thrombosis risk. You are given guidance for the flight (moving about, fluids, and thrombosis prophylaxis or compression stockings where indicated).
When can I go back to work and exercise?
For a mainly desk-based job, expect around 10 days. Physically demanding work, sport, sauna and swimming take considerably longer and are cleared individually at your check-up. Going back to full activity too early is one of the most common reasons for a poorer result.
What happens if I have a complication after returning home?
Contact your coordinator straight away — the same person who looked after you in Antalya, by WhatsApp or phone. Send photos of the area; the assessment is made together with the doctor who operated on you. We then work out whether it can be treated where you live — we provide your surgical records and medical reports for that — or whether coming back to Antalya makes sense. For acute symptoms such as severe pain, fever, breathlessness or sudden swelling, go to your nearest emergency department first and tell us afterwards.
