Treatment
Septorhinoplasty in Turkey
A deviated septum corrected and the nose reshaped in a single operation — breathing and appearance fixed together, by a board-certified ENT & head-neck surgeon.
Overview
What septorhinoplasty involves
Septorhinoplasty combines two operations in one: septoplasty — straightening the deviated septum that blocks your breathing — and rhinoplasty — reshaping how the nose looks. Because the septum is the nose's central support, the two are done together, not separately.
For an ENT & Head-Neck surgeon this is home ground: the airway and the aesthetics are read as one structure. A deviated septum, collapsed internal valves and a crooked or humped bridge are addressed in the same operation.
The result is a nose that breathes freely and looks balanced — one surgery, one recovery, rather than two.

Technique
The ENT difference: shape and breathing, as one
Breathing is not an afterthought here. Trained as an ENT surgeon, Dr. Barışkan straightens the septum and opens the airway as he reshapes — 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.
What it corrects

A deviated septum
The central wall straightened so air moves freely through both sides.

Suitability
Who it's for
Septorhinoplasty may suit you if
- You have a deviated septum and also want the shape changed
- You struggle to breathe through one or both sides
- Your nose is crooked, humped or off-centre
- You've had congestion or sinus issues linked to your nose
- 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

Recovery
How recovery unfolds
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 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.

Common Questions
Septorhinoplasty FAQs
Yes — that's the point. The septum and airway are corrected in the same operation as the reshaping, so it's one surgery and one recovery.
No. The septum and the shape are corrected together — doing them separately would mean two operations and two recoveries.
The aim is a clear, lasting improvement. As an ENT surgeon, Dr. Barışkan assesses exactly what's blocking the airway — septum, valves or turbinates — and addresses each.
Yes — anything from subtle refinement to a fuller reshaping can be done alongside the functional work.
Often. Cartilage from your own septum is used to straighten and support both the airway and the shape.
Similar to a standard rhinoplasty — a cast for the first week, back to routine in around two weeks, with swelling settling over months.
Most patients plan for 5–7 days, covering the assessment, surgery and cast removal before flying home.
Breathing often improves within weeks once the swelling and congestion pass; the final shape settles over 6–12 months.
