What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance and/or function. It can address a wide range of concerns including a dorsal hump, wide nasal bridge, bulbous tip, asymmetry, breathing difficulties, or previous trauma. At MedProper, rhinoplasty is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with 15+ years of experience at a JCI-accredited hospital in Istanbul.
How Does Rhinoplasty Work?
- 1Initial consultation with 3D imaging to plan your ideal nose shape and discuss expectations
- 2Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, typically lasting 2–3 hours
- 3The surgeon reshapes bone and cartilage through closed (endonasal) or open technique depending on complexity
- 4An internal splint and external cast are placed to support the new structure
- 5Cast removal after 7 days; most swelling resolves within 2–3 weeks
Who is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty?
- Adults with a fully developed nose (typically 18+) who want to improve nose shape or proportion
- Patients with a dorsal hump, wide bridge, bulbous or droopy tip, or crooked nose
- Those experiencing breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates
- Individuals seeking revision after a previous rhinoplasty that did not meet expectations
- Non-smokers in good general health with realistic expectations

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our surgeons use preservation and structural techniques that maintain your ethnic features while creating balanced, harmonious proportions. The goal is a nose that looks like it has always been yours.
Absolutely. Septoplasty and turbinate reduction are commonly combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty at no additional cost. Many patients report dramatically improved breathing post-surgery.
Most patients fly home 7–10 days after surgery, once the cast is removed and cleared by the surgeon. We coordinate your departure with your recovery schedule.
Revision rhinoplasty is one of our specialties. Our surgeons handle complex revision cases using rib cartilage grafting when necessary. Revision is priced separately and requires detailed evaluation.
Most patients describe mild discomfort rather than pain. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, and post-operative pain is well-controlled with prescribed medication. The cast can feel tight but is not painful.
