Your Transformation Story Starts Here
The Power of “Before” and “After“

Every “after” photo reflects the success of a personal “before” decision.
Each image here represents a genuine transformation—individuals who chose nasal refinement to enhance facial harmony and confidence.

When reviewing rhinoplasty before and after results in Turkey, focus on balance with facial features, nasal proportions, and a natural-looking profile rather than size change alone. Temporary swelling is normal, especially around the nasal tip, and the final shape typically continues to refine over several months as healing and tissue maturation progress.

Sniffing Out 2 Nasal Reshaping Techniques

Modern medicine has developed 2 nose surgery techniques, employed by cosmetic surgeons all around the world. 

Depending on the patient’s preferences and condition, one technique might be better than the other. Important considerations include the patient’s nose type and the budget allocated to the rhinoplasty cost Turkey.

1. Open Rhinoplasty Technique

The open rhinoplasty technique involves an incision between the nostrils (columella), allowing for maximum visibility and full access to the underlying tissue by the surgeon.

This technique allows for greater plastic flexibility and more accurate results. On the downside, it requires a longer recovery time due to incisions. Scars and swelling will also be initially more visible.

2. Closed or Endonasal Rhinoplasty

The closed or endonasal technique does not involve incisions, as all plastic manipulation is performed by accessing the underlying tissue through the nostrils.

This technique allows for minimal scarring and swelling. It also has a shorter recovery time. However, it limits the surgeon’s visibility, and does not allow for all types of plastic changes.

Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Turkey

There are many high-quality plastic surgeons specialized in rhinoplasty in the country, which makes it hard to single out the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Turkey. Furthermore, each surgeon has its own style and technique. Our advice is to check results and go for the one you like most.

It’s also important to verify your surgeon’s diplomas and associations. Rather than trusting online banners, contact the associations directly. High-intent searches such as “best” or “top” (including nose surgeons Turkey) are usually about outcomes and predictability—choose a surgeon who can show consistent before-and-after results, explain technique selection clearly, and provide a structured aftercare and follow-up system.

If you’re thinking of getting a nose job in Turkey, you might want to check if your clinic complies with ISO standards and is certified by the Turkish Ministry of Health. All independent clinics and hospitals providing plastic surgery in Turkey must be certified by the Ministry of Health.

  • Ask about revision policy, follow-up cadence, and remote support after you return home.
