Rhinoplasty in Türkiye
Structural rhinoplasty with a board-certified ENT & head-neck surgeon — where how you breathe and how you look are planned as one operation, from your own measurements.
Overview
What rhinoplasty actually involves
Rhinoplasty reshapes the framework of the nose — bone, cartilage and the soft tissue over them. Because that framework is also your airway, the shape you see and the way you breathe are the same structure, and they're planned together rather than one after the other.
Dr. Barışkan is a board-certified ENT & Head-Neck surgeon who trained in anatomy before specialising in facial surgery. Every consultation opens with your own measurements — the angles of your profile, how the tip sits, whether the septum is deviated — before any technique is named.
The result is meant to read as your face, resolved. Not a template, and not somebody else's nose.

Technique
The ENT difference: shape and breathing, as one
A rhinoplasty changes how you look and how you breathe. Trained as an ENT surgeon, Dr. Barışkan treats both as one operation — function first, then form.
Approach
Open, for full view
An open approach through a tiny, well-hidden incision gives a clear view of the framework — for precise, predictable work.
Tip
Supported, not just trimmed
Cartilage is reshaped and reinforced so the tip holds its definition over years, not just weeks.
Airway
Breathing, planned in
As an ENT surgeon, Dr. Barışkan assesses the septum and internal valves — so a deviation is corrected alongside the shape.
Structure
Stable long-term
Support grafts from your own cartilage keep the result steady as everything settles.

Suitability
Who it's for
Rhinoplasty may suit you if
- You're unhappy with the shape, size or profile of your nose
- You struggle to breathe through one or both sides
- A previous rhinoplasty didn't hold, or left you unhappy
- Your nose looks out of balance with the rest of your face
- You're in good general health and your facial growth is complete
We'd talk it through first if
- You're looking for someone else's nose rather than your own, resolved
- An untreated condition needs managing first
- You can't commit to the follow-up and recovery period
- Expectations that surgery can't safely deliver — we'd tell you at consultation

Aftercare
Supporting your recovery
Do
- Sleep with your head elevated for the first couple of weeks
- Keep to the cleaning and rinse routine you're given
- Attend every remote follow-up check-in
- Protect your nose from sun and any knocks
Avoid
- Blowing your nose or resting glasses on the bridge early on
- Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few weeks
- Smoking, which slows healing
- Saunas and sunbeds until you're cleared
Safety
Risks, honestly explained
How safety is protected
- Board-certified ENT & head-neck surgeon
- A full surgical and anaesthetic team
- A plan built from your own anatomy
- Structured follow-up through the first year
Risks to be aware of
- All surgery carries risk — bleeding, infection, a reaction to anaesthesia
- Swelling and numbness that settle gradually over months
- A small chance a minor revision is needed for the final refinement
- Results vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed

What rhinoplasty patients say
★★★★★14 months post-op
I'd been to two consultations before this one, and both opened with a photo of someone else's nose. Dr. Barışkan started with mine — he measured the angles of my own profile and explained what was structurally causing the hump before he ever mentioned what he'd do about it. Fourteen months on it still looks like my face, just resolved.

My first rhinoplasty was done elsewhere and I was never told why the result didn't hold. Dr. Barışkan spent most of the consultation on that previous surgery — what had been removed, what was left to work with, and what was realistic now. He was direct that a revision has limits.

From the first video call to the follow-up two years later, none of it felt like a sales process. The team answered in English within a day, every time. The clinic ran to schedule. I flew home on day seven with a written plan for what to expect month by month.

I went for the look. The thing I actually notice every day is that I can breathe through both sides. He flagged the deviation in the first consultation from photographs alone.

Rhinoplasty FAQs
There is no fixed price. Primary or revision, whether the airway needs correcting, and how much structural work is involved all change the quote — so you get a personalised figure after your consultation.
Most patients plan for 5–7 days, covering the pre-operative assessment, the procedure, and cast removal before flying home.
That's the aim. Every plan starts from your own measurements rather than a template — a nose that reads as yours, resolved, not replaced.
Often, yes. As an ENT surgeon Dr. Barışkan assesses the airway alongside the shape, and a deviation can usually be corrected in the same operation.
Generally once facial growth is complete — around 17+ for women and 18+ for men. There's no strict upper limit for a healthy patient.
Most patients describe pressure and congestion rather than sharp pain. Your care plan sets out what to expect day by day, with pain relief throughout.
With an open approach the only external incision is a tiny one across the columella, which typically fades to near-invisible.
You'll see a clear change once the cast is off, but swelling settles gradually — the final refinement usually shows over 6–12 months.
