Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping) in Istanbul
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose’s bridge, tip or overall profile — for appearance, breathing, or both. In Istanbul the procedure is performed under general anaesthetic, usually with one night in hospital, and most international patients fly home 7–8 days later once the splint is removed.
Like every Maison procedure, it is arranged end to end around one written plan: your photo assessment is reviewed by the clinical team, your quote names the treating specialist with their credentials and itemizes the full price — procedure, hospital, transfers, hotel and aftercare — and your itinerary is built backwards from the medical fly-home clearance rather than an airline’s calendar. In Istanbul, a coordinator and translator accompany every appointment, and your companion’s logistics are planned alongside your own.
Suitability is decided before anything is booked, and honestly: if this procedure will not deliver what you are hoping for — or a smaller treatment would serve you better — the assessment says so plainly, free, and that is the end of any selling. The figures below are typical published ranges to plan around; your own timings are confirmed in writing in your treatment plan.

Who this suits
- You want to refine the bridge, tip, or overall balance of your nose
- You have breathing difficulties from a deviated septum (can be corrected in the same operation)
- Your facial growth is complete (generally 18+)
- You are a non-smoker, or willing to stop around surgery
Suitability is confirmed at your free photo assessment — and if this procedure is not right for you, we say so plainly.

Common questions
Will the results look natural?
The plan is agreed with you in advance from your photos and measurements, and the goal is balance with your other features — not a template nose. You approve the surgical plan before travelling.
Can breathing problems be fixed at the same time?
Yes. Septoplasty (correcting a deviated septum) is commonly combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty in a single operation.
When can I fly?
Most surgeons clear flying once the splint is removed, typically 7–8 days after surgery. Your written aftercare plan confirms your exact clearance.
