Ask your question on WhatsAppAt Milano Clinic rhinoplasty in Istanbul costs from €2,250. Revision rhinoplasty costs more because it is usually more complex; your final price is confirmed in writing after an online consultation with your photos.
The package includes the operation, the hospital stay, airport and hospital transfers, an English-speaking interpreter and aftercare. Your tests and an in-person consultation with your surgeon take place before the operation.
Flights and the hotel are not included. We can help you book a hotel close to the hospital for the rest of your stay.
Plan about 7 to 10 days in Istanbul. This covers the tests, the operation, the hospital stay and the check-up when the splint is removed, usually after about a week.
You fly home once your surgeon clears you, normally after the splint is removed. Book a flexible return ticket in case your check-up is moved.
Rhinoplasty is performed in a hospital, usually under general anaesthesia. The hospital stay is part of the package.
In open rhinoplasty a small incision is made across the skin between the nostrils, which gives the surgeon a direct view of the tip. In closed rhinoplasty all incisions are inside the nose, so there is no visible scar.
It depends on what needs to change, especially the tip, and on whether you have had nose surgery before. Your surgeon recommends the technique after examining you; the choice should follow your anatomy, not a trend.
Often yes. A deviated septum can be corrected during the same operation, which your surgeon assesses at the consultation.
You wear a splint for about a week. Bruising and most of the visible swelling usually fade within 2 to 3 weeks, and many people return to desk work after about 10 to 14 days.
The final shape takes 12 months or longer. Swelling of the tip goes down slowly, especially with thicker skin, so early photos do not show the final result.
Swelling, bruising and a blocked nose are common at first; bleeding, infection, breathing problems and asymmetry are possible. Some patients need a revision, and results vary from person to person.
Send photos of your nose from the front, both sides, three-quarter view and from below by WhatsApp. Mention any previous nose surgery, illnesses and medication so suitability can be assessed before you travel.
