Types of Rhinoplasty
Performed in Istanbul
Rhinoplasty in Turkey is performed using different surgical techniques depending on nasal anatomy and patient goals. The technique selection directly affects recovery time, scar visibility, and final shape.
Open Rhinoplasty
Full structural access via columella incision, giving the surgeon complete visibility for precise nasal reshaping.
Preservation Rhinoplasty
Dorsum structure is maintained rather than removed, reducing long-term deformity risks when properly indicated.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Correction of previous surgeries, addressing both aesthetic concerns and structural irregularities from prior procedures.
Medical publications in PubMed confirm that preservation and structural techniques reduce long-term deformity risks when properly indicated.

What Is the Best Age to Get Rhinoplasty?
The best age to get rhinoplasty is when nasal growth is fully completed and emotional maturity is established. This ensures surgical stability and predictable long-term results. Recommended age ranges:
Women: 17 years and older
Men: 18 years and older
There is no upper age limit if the patient is medically fit. Studies published by NHS surgical guidance show that patients over 40 can safely undergo rhinoplasty when anesthesia risk is properly assessed. Age alone does not determine eligibility. Skin elasticity, bone density, and healing capacity are evaluated individually before surgery planning.
How Is Rhinoplasty Performed in Istanbul?
Rhinoplasty in Turkey is performed under general anesthesia in accredited hospitals. The procedure duration ranges between 2 to 4 hours, depending on complexity. Standard surgical process:
Patients are monitored overnight. According to international surgical data, hospital discharge usually occurs within 24 hours. Istanbul clinics follow European anesthesia and sterilization standards under Ministry of Health regulations.

What Are the Risks of Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty carries standard surgical risks when performed by qualified surgeons. Complication rates remain below 5%, according to ASPS clinical reports.
Possible risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Nasal congestion during healing
- Minor asymmetry
- Infection (below 1%)
- Need for revision surgery (5–10%)
Most risks are temporary and decrease when surgery is performed in certified hospitals with experienced surgeons. Smoking and non-compliance with post-operative care increase complication probability.

I had my rhinoplasty on September 18th 2025. It’s still too early to judge the long-term results, but I can already share my impressions and experience so far. The surgery went smoothly and without any complications. I didn’t even feel the anesthesia, and after the operation, I woke up quickly — no nausea, no weakness, it felt like waking up from an afternoon nap. On days 3–4, the swelling was at its peak, then gradually went down, just as expected. I didn’t have a single bruise, even though my surgery was quite complex.

I had my nose job done simply to achieve a more beautiful and harmonious look for my face, and I'm so glad I chose Dr Samet. From day one, he understood that I wanted a natural result and created exactly the nose I had imagined. It's neither exaggerated nor artificial... It blends so well with my face that people don't even notice I've had cosmetic surgery. I feel more confident and happier. Beauty truly lies in the details, and Dr Samet captured that detail perfectly. Endless thanks!

Dr. Samet and his team are very good. I highly recommend them. My daughter had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty with Dr. Samet . We are very pleased with the results. My daughter’s nose looks very natural, at the same time fits her face and looks so beautiful.I was very hesitant in the beginning because I live abroad and don’t know much about this Doctor. I am very glad we chose Dr. Samet. He is very talented doctor. Irem, who is the doctor’s assistant, was very helpful and responsive. Dr. Samet is very kind always smiling, same were his team, that helped relax my daughter and reduce her anxiety about the surgery. Thank you Dr. Samet, thank you Irem and team.

I am beyond grateful that I chose Dr. Samet for my rhinoplasty. I spent over four months researching doctors, and after so much time and consideration, finding him in Turkey was the best decision I could have made. From the very beginning, he was professional, attentive, and truly cared about my expectations. I am absolutely in love with my nose it looks so natural and fits my face perfectly. Even during recovery, the follow-up and attention have been amazing. Thank you, Dr. Samet, for your incredible work and for giving me so much confidence. I truly feel like a new me.

As a man, I was initially hesitant about undergoing a cosmetic surgery and travel abroad for that. However, I was unhappy with the shape of my nose and decided to consult with Dr. Samet agcayazi after reading positive reviews online. I had a virtual consultation with him and I was impressed by his professionalism and expertise. He took the time to understand my desired outcome and explained the limitations and possibilities realistically. The surgery went smoothly, and the recovery was faster than I expected. With a natural-looking nose that fits my face perfectly, the result is exactly what I hoped for.

I’m about 10 weeks post op and very happy with my experience. The doctor and staff are super friendly and so far my results are looking great. The only improvement I could recommend to the team is to be more responsive and predictable with appointment times, but I was aware that could be an issue. Dr Samet has gotten very popular recently and his team is a bit overwhelmed. All in all I’m very happy and can’t wait to see my nose continue to transform

After a sports injury many years ago, I had breathing issues through one nostril and was also unhappy with the appearance of my nose. I found Dr. agcayazi online and was impressed by his credentials and experience in both functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty. He addressed both my functional and cosmetic concerns with great skill. My breathing has improved so much that it feels like I couldn’t breathe before. My nose looks much better, more symmetrical and natural. The entire process from the initial consultation to the post-operative care was excellent. Dr. agcayazi is a highly skilled and experienced surgeon who I would recommend without hesitation.

I am 3 weeks post-op from rhinoplasty with Dr. Samet and couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him! It is truly the most well-balanced nose and the cleanest closure of incisions I have seen. He is a perfectionist in the best way. He listens to what you want and gives you a realistic expectation of what can be done, keeping your anatomy and the functionality of your breathing in mind. He is conservative with what he will promise (green flag in cosmetic surgery world!) and over delivers on the results. The staff was supportive and helpful, answering all my questions and making sure I was settled during my trip. Couldn’t be happier with my choice of having my procedure with him.

You will notice a visible improvement once the splint is removed, but swelling can take months to fully resolve. Final rhinoplasty results typically appear between 6–12 months, depending on skin thickness and healing speed.
If functional issues like a deviated septum are treated during surgery, many patients experience improved breathing. Your surgeon will evaluate your nasal structure beforehand to determine whether functional correction is needed.
